Garbage bags for residual waste

If there is a lot of residual waste, the garbage can is not enough. You can buy additional residual waste bags. One bag costs a lot of money. You can put the bags next to the garbage can on the day it is emptied. The refuse collectors will take the bags with them.

No residual waste at the recycling center

Please note: The recycling center does not accept residual waste. This applies to all small items. The parts are smaller than 80 cm. The parts are in bags and boxes. This also applies to purchased residual waste bags.
