Where to take it?

Glass bottles and jars go into the glass container without caps or lids. Window glass, mirrors and porcelain do not belong there.

Plastic, metal and mixed packaging goes into packaging containers.

Newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes and paper bags go into the paper container. Flatten large boxes first.

Bottles and cans with a deposit mark can be returned to a reverse vending machine or the till; you get the deposit back.

Old phones, computers and appliances are usually accepted free of charge at waste stations.

Used batteries are accepted free of charge in shop collection boxes and at waste stations.

Worn-out clothes and home textiles go into textile containers, not mixed waste.

Scrap metal is bought by metal collection yards, with prices depending on the type of metal and weight. Waste stations also accept smaller amounts.

Paints, solvents, oils and medicines must be taken to a hazardous waste drop-off.
