Waste guide - Separate waste correctly

Waste management works slightly differently in every city. For this reason, a waste guide entitled "How to separate waste correctly" has been developed for new residents of Erlangen. The clear and handy information brochure briefly explains the most important facts about the waste management system in Erlangen: From waste separation to the location and opening hours of the most important facilities in the city to all the key contacts, you will find the information you need.

You can obtain the brochure free of charge from the Waste Advisory Service at Schuhstrasse 40 or from the Citizens' Office in the Town Hall. You can also obtain the brochure from the City Greenery, Waste Management and Street Cleaning Department.

The waste guide has also been published in English with the title "How to sort waste at home" and the overview of waste and recyclables separation is included in the middle of both the German and English editions.

You can access the online exchange and give-away market presented in the guide here.

A keyword index (Waste ABC) can be found here.

A brief overview of all relevant types of waste in Erlangen can also be found at the end of the article on the waste guide.
