Who should I contact?

Find out from the administration of your municipality/city or the waste association how and where the recyclables are collected. In many cases, you can also look up this information on the respective website via a "Waste ABC".

The dual systems are responsible for collecting packaging waste. They have commissioned a local private waste disposal company or the public waste management organisation to collect the waste.

Most local authorities and districts publish waste calendars that list the collection dates and types of waste.
