End of the line for the gray garbage can

"Residual waste" - this name says it all, because it refers to all waste that is left over at the end: Everything that can no longer be used and cannot be recycled in any way belongs in the residual waste and therefore in the gray garbage can.

Please note: Waste is collected from 5 a.m., so please put the garbage can out the evening before!

More info
What belongs in the gray residual waste garbage can?

Do not use yellow bin liners from retailers in the residual waste garbage can to avoid the risk of confusion with yellow recycling bags. This could be interpreted as incorrect filling and lead to non-emptying.

This can go in:

Hygiene articles, diapers, vacuum cleaner bags, cigarette butts, porcelain, sweepings, small animal litter

This must not go in:

Glasses, bottles, paper, cardboard (paper garbage can), fruit and food waste, coffee grounds (organic waste garbage can), batteries, electrical appliances, hazardous waste

Our tips

Use residual waste and organic waste garbage cans

Use the organic waste garbage can for organic waste to dispose of as little as possible in the residual waste garbage can. You may be able to reduce the size of your bin by taking the minimum bin volume into account. Incidentally, you are free to choose the size of your organic waste garbage can.

Do you have children under the age of 3 in your family? If so, you can apply for a fee reduction. After all, you will then save €36.00 per child per year on the residual waste fee!

Applications can be found on our homepage in the form center or call us at the customer center on 05931 599699. We will be happy to send you an application form.

You can find more information here: Fee reduction for families and people in need of care

If a member of the household is in need of care, a reduction of EUR 6.00 per month (EUR 72.00 per year) can be granted. If the fee reduction is applied for due to the need for care, the application must be accompanied by a certificate from the family doctor stating that increased waste is produced in the household due to an illness or need for care.

You can obtain the application from us in the Form Center or from the Customer Center on 05931 599699.

Is it possible for you to share a residual waste garbage can with your immediate neighbor (the properties must be directly adjacent)? As long as you comply with the minimum volume, sharing a residual waste bin can save you a lot of money over the year.

In principle, the use of an organic waste garbage can is mandatory in the district of Emsland. The obligation to connect and use the organic waste garbage can applies. You can be exempted from this obligation on condition that you compost all organic waste – including food waste – completely on the property in question and recycle the resulting compost there.

According to a recommendation by the Federal Environment Agency, this requires an unsealed garden area (e.g. beds and garden areas) of at least 50 square meters per resident. Please bear in mind that home composting quickly reaches its limits with many types of waste from the kitchen (e.g. cooked food scraps, bones, nutshells, citrus fruit peel). As this waste must not be disposed of in the residual waste garbage can, it often makes sense to use an organic waste garbage can in addition to home composting.

Reduction of the minimum volume is possible on request from 2022!

– 1-person households: Minimum volume 20 liters, fee reduction possible via application form (www.awb-emsland.de; forms)

– 5-person households: Minimum volume 100 liters, reduction to 80-liter garbage can possible on request (informal). Number of minimum empties increases to 16.

– 7-person households: Minimum volume 140 liters, reduction to 120-liter garbage can possible on request (informal). Number of minimum empties increases to 15
