Problem waste disposal

Problematic waste" includes waste from households that can be hazardous to health or the environment during use and disposal. The state legislator classifies it as hazardous waste. This waste is therefore disposed of separately from other household waste. Examples: paint strippers that are no longer needed or unusable, drain cleaners, paints, varnishes, adhesives, alkalis, acids, chemicals such as photographic chemicals, waste oil, pesticides and fertilizers, cleaning agents and detergents, as well as rechargeable batteries, batteries, energy-saving light bulbs and much more.
The public waste disposal authorities (districts and independent cities) offer stationary or mobile collection points ("Schadstoffmobil").
