Notification of non-profit and commercial collections of recycling waste from private households

Would you like to collect non-profit or commercially recyclable waste, so-called recyclables, from private households? Then you must notify the competent authority at least three months before the start of collection.

Non-profit and commercial collections of recyclable waste, so-called recyclable materials from private households, must be notified at least three months before the start of the collection. Street or container collections of textiles and shoes, for example, as well as waste paper collection points, must be notified.

The collection may be prohibited, limited or subject to conditions by the competent authority.

• Recyclable materials from private households must be handed over. This means that they must always be handed over to the public waste disposal authorities.
• The commercial or non-profit collection of recyclable materials (recyclable waste) is only permitted if this has been reported to the competent authority;
• notified collections may be prohibited or restricted by the competent authority
• Mixed waste from private households may not be collected commercially or on a non-profit basis (e.g. bulky waste)

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (defective old electrical appliances) must be returned to the public waste disposal authorities or dealers obliged to take it back.
