Dispose of recyclable materials
Description
Recyclable materials are recyclable waste such as paper, cardboard and packaging made of glass, plastics or metal.
The dual systems are responsible for the disposal of packaging within the meaning of the Packaging Act.
Other recyclable materials that are not packaging are regularly disposed of by the public waste disposal authorities (districts and district-free cities).
Collections of recyclable materials can also be carried out by commercial or non-profit providers (commercial or non-profit collection).
As a rule, various disposal systems (delivery and/or collection systems) are set up for disposal:
- Container collection (e.B igloos for waste glass or paper) and/or at the recycling centres
- Yellow Bag/ Yellow Bins (for light packaging)
- if necessary, by means of special recycling bins
- for large, non-household quantities via private disposal companies

As for waste disposal as a whole, there is no nationwide uniform fee regulation for the disposal of recyclable materials by the districts and district-free cities.
Information on the costs incurred can be found in the respective waste fee statutes of your public waste disposal provider as well as on the homepages of the commercial waste disposal companies.
Product responsibility applies to packaging. The disposal of packaging in accordance with the Packaging Act is already paid for by the consumer when purchasing the product.
