No, use of the organic waste bin is voluntary.

We recommend its use,

• as the organic waste bin is in line with the circular economy concept
• is provided free of charge
• more precise separation reduces cost-intensive residual waste
• waste disposal charges can be kept low through utilisation

The organic waste bin is primarily intended for households that cannot compost themselves.
You should still use the option of home composting or the local green waste composting plant (exclusively for green waste), as these disposal methods best correspond to the natural cycle of biological recycling of waste and mean local, low-cost recycling.

The order is placed by the owner using the"bin order" form. Orders are accepted by the waste management department, the Stadtwerke Customer Centre and the Citizens' Service.

• For residual waste containers up to 120 litres > one free organic waste bin with 120 litres
• For 240-litre residual waste bins > one 240-litre organic waste bin
• For residential complexes with larger residual waste containers (e.g. up to 1,100 litres) > a maximum of four organic waste bins per 240 litres

Make sure that your container is protected from frost or is not placed directly in the sun.

• In winter, you can use newspaper to prevent organic waste from freezing in the container
• Frozen organic waste must be loosened independently by the bin user before emptying, this is not done by the refuse collectors
• There is no subsequent emptying of frozen organic waste bins
• If maggots appear, it helps to sprinkle lime powder (seaweed lime or slaked lime) into the organic waste bin. These can be purchased from building materials stores or well-stocked drugstores
• In good weather, the lid should be opened, as dry and ventilated organic waste is unlikely to be infested by maggots

The organic waste bin is emptied every 14 days on the disposal dates specified in the waste calendar. The organic waste bin must be clearly visible by 6 a.m. on the day of emptying.
