Tenants and owners don't have to sit on their garbage when the bin is full. We'll tell you what options are available to you for waste disposal!
Residual waste bags
Residual waste bags are ideal for the extra portion of rubbish that arises after a celebration or during a move, for example. These residual waste bags can be placed next to the full garbage cans and will be disposed of by the garbage collector. But be careful: it is not permitted to randomly place garbage bags next to the bin. The residual waste bags in question are special examples that are available at various points of sale 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: usually under 10 euros
Note:
Residual waste bags are available in different designs, so that you can choose the right one for every waste. There are both residual waste bags and yellow bags as well as bags for organic waste.
Waste facility
Larger amounts of garbage can usually be taken directly to the waste disposal facility. However, disposal is associated with fees that are based on the real tonnage price.
Larger garbage can – higher collection frequency
If the garbage can is regularly too full, it's worth talking to the four-tenant or the manager. Because they can order larger or additional garbage cans. But be careful: this results in additional costs that have to be borne by the tenants as part of the additional costs bill! The situation is different if the landlord requests a special emptying, because these costs must be borne by him himself. Property owners are generally responsible for these steps themselves:
- Increase discharge frequency
- also associated with higher costs!
Bulky waste
If you want to dispose of your bulky waste, you should first make sure that the waste is actually bulky waste. This includes, among other things, electrical and metal scrap and waste wood. However, bulky waste does not include small parts, construction site waste, special waste and mineral waste. Please note that the allocation can vary from municipality to municipality. It is therefore advisable to obtain this information from the responsible waste disposal company. There are different options for disposing of bulky waste:
- Disposal at a recycling center or recycling center
- Order municipal or private bulky waste collection
Note:
The disposal of bulky waste is usually associated with additional costs!
Garbage compactor
Numerous specialist retailers now offer garbage compactors for home use. These are intended to compress the garbage and accordingly reduce the volume. That sounds tempting at first glance, after all it would allow the garbage cans to be filled significantly more. However, there is a catch, because the use of these garbage compactors is not permitted and can even be punished with heavy fines of up to 50,000 euros. Many consumers are not aware of the reasons for this:
- Waste volume is reduced, but the weight is not
- But tons shouldn't be too heavy
- The dumping device on the garbage truck cannot lift the bin
- Garbage cannot be separated properly
What not to do
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 permitted and is even punished with fines. On the other hand, the excess waste is often not disposed of by the garbage disposal. Disposing of garbage in other people's bins is also not permitted and the landlord can even sue for an injunction!
