Illegal waste is waste that is illegally deposited in the open countryside, in forests or along streams and in public places, such as on the street, on roadside greenery, in public parks and on other municipal properties outside the designated waste garbage cans. You can report this so-called "illegal waste" so that it can be removed. 

Illegal waste deposits include 


  • Large quantities of waste with a volume of approx. 100 liters or more
  • Environmentally hazardous substances, regardless of the quantity. For example, car batteries and oil cans

It is also illegal dumping if the waste has been covered with earth. 

This does not include smaller quantities of waste - these are disposed of by the street cleaning service. Of course, you do not have to report registered bulky waste either, as this is collected by the bulky waste collection service. 

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 "wild waste" can be identified, they will be charged for the disposal costs incurred.

								    

									    Requirements
The complaints and reports must be within the city limits and the jurisdiction of the City of Bremen. If the illegal waste deposits are in public areas, Die Bremer Stadtreinigung will take care of the disposal. In the case of private areas, Bremer Stadtreinigung will identify and inform the owner.
