Papierabfälle Entsorgung

You can hand in paper and cardboard at some recycling stations. You can find more information here.

Recovered paper is a valuable raw material. Paper products made from waste paper (recycled paper, cardboard and cartons) have a significantly lower environmental impact than paper products made from virgin fibers. Recycled paper is therefore also awarded the Blue Angel eco-label.

You can deliver paper and cardboard to the Bremen recycling stations.

This is paper:

• Newspapers, magazines, books, brochures
• writing paper and packaging made of paper and cardboard.

This is not paper:

• Wallpaper, soiled paper and cardboard packaging (e.g. pizza boxes or used tissues), coated paper - this belongs in the residual waste garbage can.

The recycling of paper waste from private households is the responsibility of the public waste disposal authorities.

• Declaration of waste origin

  Upon request, the deliverers must sign a declaration stating their name, address including telephone number and presenting official proof of identity, in which the exact private origin of the waste and/or recyclables is stated and confirmed.

• The delivery of waste and recyclable materials is only permitted with vehicles with a permissible total weight of up to 3.5 tons
• The delivery of waste and recyclable materials must be sorted by type and free from harmful contamination and adhesions.
• The paper waste comes from a private household in Bremen that is connected to the municipal waste disposal system.

• You can hand in paper and cardboard at recycling stations.
• The waste and recyclable materials must be placed in the appropriately labeled bins or containers.
• Waste/recyclables must be delivered in transport containers (e.g. in bags, baskets or cardboard boxes).
  • It must be possible for one person to safely load the transport containers into the container via a stairway/access.
  • Transport packages that are wider than the container access steps or that can only be transported by two people will be rejected for safety reasons.
  • Waste/recyclable materials transported on open tarpaulins will also not be accepted unless the waste/recyclable materials are accepted at ground level (not in a container).

Transport packaging and containers must be taken back by the deliverers. The waste, recyclables and pollutants become the property of Bremer Stadtreinigung

waste, recyclable materials and hazardous substances become the property of Die Bremer Stadtreinigung. This also applies if they have already been unloaded or secured.

The deliverers are obliged to provide information about the origin of the waste and/or recyclables they deliver. The station's operating personnel are authorized to inspect all waste delivered and to reject waste, recyclable materials and hazardous substances, even if they have already been unloaded.
