Waste paper garbage can for households
Use of the "blue waste paper garbage can" is voluntary and free of charge. Every household (property owner) in Salzgitter is free to decide whether to accept the additional offer. Households that do not have sufficient space for an additional garbage can or do not wish to use it for other reasons can continue to dispose of their waste paper via the existing collection systems at the recycling container sites.
The household waste paper garbage can is available in 120 liter and 240 liter container sizes.
The application is made in writing by the property owner either via the online form (online form see below) or via the registration form (registration form see download).
The provision and emptying of the paper garbage can is free of charge.
Emptying is offered once a month. The bin must be placed at the side of the road by 7.00 a.m. on the collection day. See downloads for collection dates
Waste paper is a valuable raw material. The recycling of waste paper requires good quality. When filling the paper garbage can, please ensure that only clean paper or cardboard is disposed of. Contaminants such as metal, plastic or other waste have a negative impact on the recycling process and therefore do not belong in the waste paper garbage can.
Waste paper garbage cans that are filled incorrectly will not be emptied on collection day. Property owners have the following options:
- To re-sort the waste paper garbage cans and only put out properly filled bins on the next waste paper emptying day,
or
- order a chargeable special emptying as residual waste for waste paper garbage cans that have not been re-sorted at the following e-mail address srbdispostadt.salzgitterde.
According to § 4 Para. 1 of the waste fee statutes of the City of Salzgitter, the fee for the provision of a refuse truck outside the regular collections carried out by the city (e.g. special emptying) is EUR 30.00 per 15 minutes or part thereof of provision time (loading time) of the refuse truck.
The fee for residual waste (see waste fee statutes) is charged additionally with the special emptying.
