Collection and delivery service for waste garbage cans

Are you moving house and need waste garbage cans? Your waste garbage can is broken or you want to change the size of a waste garbage can?

The collection and delivery service is available to you as the property owner. The waste garbage cans are delivered directly to the property by the AWB or collected from there. If you move, do not take the waste garbage cans with you to the new address; they will remain at the old location.

Are you the owner of the property?

Garbage cans can only be exchanged or additional waste garbage cans ordered by the property owner or an authorized person, e.g. the building or property management company. Our residual waste containers are available in the following sizes:

  • 40 liters, 60 liters, 80 liters, 120 liters and 240 liters

In addition to these individual containers, there are combination options such as:

  • 160 liters (2 x 80 l) and 200 liters (120 l and 80 l)

For residual waste containers, a minimum volume of 20 liters per person must be observed with fortnightly collection.

If a household combines two residual waste garbage cans, the basic fee only has to be paid for one garbage can.

Both garbage cans are charged with at least 10 emptyings each.

You have a choice of organic containers:

  • 40 liters, 60 liters, 80 liters, 120 liters and 240 liters

You can easily calculate the amount of the waste fees using the fee calculator. The waste fee notice is always sent to the property owner.
