If you would like to report illegal waste dumping, please contact the lower waste authority in your city or district. 

Illegal waste dumping refers to waste that is illegally deposited in the open countryside, in forests or along streams and in public places outside the designated waste containers. 

This can include, for example, household and bulky waste, building rubble, construction site waste, car wrecks, but also excess excavated soil (loose and solid rock excavated or removed during construction work). It is also illegal waste dumping if the waste has been covered with soil. 

The dumping of "wild waste" is prohibited and constitutes an administrative offense. It can be punished with a fine. 

If the person responsible for the illegal dumping can be identified, they will be charged for the disposal costs incurred. 

The public order service investigates illegal waste disposal and provides information on proper waste disposal.  Violations, such as carelessly discarded chewing gum, pizza boxes or bulky waste such as furniture, fridges, televisions and so on, are consistently punished by the public order service. The public order service works closely with Die Bremer Stadtreinigung.
