Individual items should be no longer than 2 m, no wider than 1 m and no heavier than 50 kg.

The total quantity of bulky waste must not exceed 10 m³. Any excess quantities must be disposed of by the person providing the waste.

Collection

Place your bulky waste in a clearly visible location on the sidewalk or street by 6:30 a.m. at the latest on the agreed collection day. However, do not put the bulky waste out until the day before at the earliest - experience has shown that the longer the bulky waste is stored, the better: The longer the bulky waste is stored, the less it has to do with your original provision. You must remove any soiling or waste that cannot or may not be taken away with the bulky waste collection.

Cleaning

Please remember that you must clean up any soiling of the sidewalk or street caused by the collection.
