Tenants and owners don't have to sit on their garbage when the bin is full. We'll tell you what options are available for garbage disposal!

Residual rubbish bags

Residual rubbish bags are ideal for that extra portion of rubbish that accumulates, for example, after a party or during a move. These residual rubbish bags may be placed next to the full garbage cans and will be disposed of by the garbage disposal. But be careful: it is not allowed to place garbage bags indiscriminately next to the bin. Because the said residual rubbish bags are special copies that are available in various sales outlets in the city for an extra fee. It is practical that the disposal fee is usually included in the price.

  • Capacity: 70 - 100 liters
  • Price: mostly less than 10 euros

Note: Residual waste bags are available in different designs, so that the right copy can be selected for every garbage. There are both residual waste bags and yellow bags as well as bags for organic waste.

Larger amounts of garbage can usually also be brought directly to the waste disposal facility. However, disposal is associated with fees that are based on the real tonnage price.

Trash compactor

Numerous specialist dealers now offer waste compactors for the

Home use. These should serve to press the garbage and accordingly reduce the volume. That sounds tempting at first glance, after all, it would fill the garbage cans significantly more. However, there is a catch, because the use of these garbage presses is not allowed and can even be punished with severe fines of up to 50,000 euros. Many consumers are not aware of the reasons for this:

  • But tons shouldn't be too heavy
  • The pouring device on the garbage truck cannot lift the bin
  • Garbage cannot be properly separated

What not to do

Pay attention to legal conditions

For many people it is tempting to simply put the excess rubbish next to the existing bins. However, this behavior has several disadvantages: On the one hand, this is not allowed and is even punished with fines. On the other hand, the excess garbage is often not disposed of by the garbage disposal. The disposal of garbage in other people's bins is also prohibited and the landlord can even sue for omission!
