Information about the new waste collection days:
Waste collection calendar 2022: The pick-up days are listed in the waste collection calendar 2022. Printed forms will be available at the citizens' offices - for all those households that do not have Internet access. The waste collection calendar is available below as a pdf for printing.
Online waste collection calendar: Additionally it offers an overview over the dates for the individual streets. This overview can be printed and moreover it has a remind-me function.
In the districts Neuenheim, Pfaffengrund, Weststadt and Ziegelhausen the new itinerary was corrected. However, the pdf files of the waste collection calendar are correct.
If you are just looking for the collection dates for your own street, you can find these in the online waste collection calendar, which gives details of collection dates for residual waste, biowaste, paper and cardboard, and the yellow bag/yellow bin, listed by street name and number. The individual tabulation can be printed.
