More information
There is no obligation to use an organic waste garbage can in Bremen.
Please place the garbage can on the sidewalk on the collection day with the lid closed and the handle facing the street. Put the garbage can out from 18:00 at the earliest the day before or by 06:00 at the latest on the day of emptying. Please also make sure to label your garbage can with the street and house number.
Allow moist organic waste to drain well and wrap it in newspaper. This helps to prevent freezing in winter and unpleasant odors in summer.
