Bulky waste

Too big, too heavy, too bulky for any garbage can – and yet waste! A clear case for bulky waste collection: bulky waste collection takes everything that belongs to movable household goods. This includes all large and small electrical appliances. However, small electrical appliances are only collected in conjunction with a bulky waste collection. Please note that there may be up to three weeks between registration and collection.

KlimaKlick for Kids

Waste avoidance, recycling and the like are tools that are indispensable on the road to greater sustainability. This makes it all the more important that even the youngest children in kindergarten and school learn how to use them. That is why we have developed action-oriented programs that use age-appropriate educational materials to explain these topics.
