Don’t put everything in one bin – garbage has its place!
Proper waste separation protects the environment and enables the recycling of valuable raw materials.
Paper, packaging and glass are important materials that can be returned to the economic cycle through recycling. This is a crucial contribution to environmental and climate protection.
Waste prevention is even better than waste separation. Through conscious consumption and less packaging waste, we conserve resources and protect our environment sustainably.
Every contribution counts – join in!

Where does which waste belong?
You can find answers and helpful tips on the Hamburg City Cleaning Service website.
Bulky waste – too big for the bin?
Private households in Hamburg can dispose of bulky waste, green waste, recyclables and hazardous materials at the city's recycling centers - much of it even free of charge.
Alternatively, the city cleaning service also offers bulky waste collection. Information about the fees and the online order form can be found on the city cleaning service's website.
