Waste paper

The refuse collection service collects waste paper from households. This happens every two weeks. The dates are listed in the waste calendar. The dates can also be found in the Bad Homburg waste app.

For example, the blue bin can be used for

  • Waste paper and cardboard boxes
  • Forms
  • Writing paper
  • Cardboard and paper packaging
  • Brochures
  • Catalogs
  • Exercise books
  • Newspapers, magazines and illustrated magazines
  • Books without covers

Attention! These items do not belong in the blue garbage can:

  • Very strong and waterproof paper
  • Aluminum foil, plastic, polystyrene
  • Very dirty and coated paper
  • Wax paper and oiled paper
  • Parchment paper and tissue paper
  • Diapers
  • Packaging for drinks
  • Thermal paper and receipts
  • Pizza boxes

Lately, there have been a lot more items provided. Our employees are finding it harder to complete the planned work. Cardboard boxes next to the garbage can are bad for your back.

Please do not put any bundled paper or large packaging next to the garbage can. You can order a larger or additional paper garbage can free of charge!

You can send change requests by e-mail to the Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe depot. The e-mail address is abfalltonnen@bbh.bad-homburg.de. You can also call. The telephone number is 06172 6775 75.

You can also dispose of waste paper at the recycling center.

You must put the waste paper garbage cans out by 6.00 a.m. on the collection day. The handle must face the street. The sidewalk must remain clear. Baby carriages and walking frames must be able to pass.
