How to sort your trash

Certain waste is not recycled and must be eliminated in the regular garbage bin :

• plastics (with the exception of PET drink bottles),
• soiled paper and cardboard (food packaging), self-adhesive and plastic-coated papers, paper tissues and napkins,
• composite packaging and objects (meaning made from several different materials),
• "classic" incandescent lightbulbs, halogen bulbs,
• broken dishes and porcelain,
• vegetable oils (put them in any plastic container, and dispose of them with kitchen garbage, maximum 1 liter per garbage bag),
• pet litter, vacuum-cleaner-bag contents, cigarette butts,
• diapers/nappies.

• Collection : Household garbage collection is provided by municipalities. Some collect house to house, others ask residents to deposit garbage in centralized collection points. Inquire with your municipality.
