Waste types

Residual waste

As a general rule, all waste generated in private households that cannot be recycled separately counts as residual waste and belongs in the gray garbage can.

Residual waste includes, for example, the following items:

  • Medicines
  • Ashes (cold, dust-proof packed)
  • Dispersion paints (dried up)
  • mineral litter from small animals (e.g. cat litter box)
  • Hygiene waste
  • Sweepings
  • Vacuum cleaner bag
  • Drinking glass
  • Ceramics (small quantities)
  • Diapers

More residual waste than expected?

If more residual waste is occasionally generated, this can also be disposed of using municipal gray waste sacks. The waste sacks must be placed next to the residual waste containers on the day they are emptied.
