Recycling processes that make it possible to produce new products from waste such as waste paper, waste glass, organic waste or lightweight packaging have been in place for years. The prerequisite for the success and quality of the recycling process is that the recyclable materials are collected by type.

A comprehensive waste guide is also available on the MyMüll.de app, which not only includes a reminder feature for putting out trash bins but also provides information on waste disposal.
