How it works

Please tie the clippings together with string or twine. It should be manageable. It should not be longer than 1.5 meters.

Permitted containers (Attention: new rules!):

• Paper bags up to waist high. They should consist of at least three layers.

We do not take waste in other packaging. For example, in larger containers, plastic bags, big bags, pop-up containers or cardboard boxes.

You must place the green waste at the roadside on the day of collection. Please ensure that the sidewalk remains clear. Baby carriages and walking frames should also be able to get through.

The total amount must not be more than a lot.
