Note: Regarding the use of the storage containers and the special collection of recyclable material we ask you to place old textiles and shoes (which should be bundled in pairs) in plastic bags before you put them into storage containers or glass disposal boxes. This way they are protected against dampness and dirt. Special collection of recyclable material: Since 2013 USK has regularly been pursuing a special collection Every 8 weeks the recyclable materials are collected, namely system in order to pick up certain types of recyclable material. shortly after the dates for the collection of waste glass (for exact This is done with the help of the glass collection boxes that are dates see the calendar at the end of this brochure). used on the day of disposal.

This also goes for bulky waste. Of course, they must not be taken away by other collectors, which, however, we in our experience have to reckon with. Should you observe such an incident, please notify USK immediately; if possible, give us data like number plate of the collector´s car or similar information. This is in your interest as the profit that USK make from these collections go into the waste disposal budget. 3 Which waste goes where?
