Why isn't my rubbish picked up?
Consumers have to ask themselves this again and again.
You can find out here when the garbage can not have to be emptied.
If the garbage is not picked up, it causes annoyance in many households.
Consumers often do not know what to do
with the waste,
especially when it comes to large garbage cans for several apartments
.
Especially in times of Corona, the garbage problem has worsened again.
If the bins stay full *, a disgusting stench can quickly result, especially in warm weather.
But this annoyance can be avoided.
Because the garbage collection has the right
to refuse to collect household
rubbish
.
Households have to pay particular attention to three factors if they do not want to be left with their waste.
Because that can not only be disgusting, but also expensive.
Garbage is not picked up: Incorrect filling of the garbage cans is problem number 1
The 2020 amendment to the Recycling Management Act (KrWG) clearly stipulates which types of waste must be collected and picked up separately.
Not only the households, but above all also the public waste disposal authorities are made responsible.
The following waste must be collected separately:
Plastic
Bio
metal
glass
paper
Junk
Hazardous waste
Textile (only applies from 2025)
Of course, the garbage disposal does not leave a bin standing if some plastic accidentally ends up in the paper waste, or in the event of similar minor offenses.
But according to the Federal Association of German Waste Management, Water and Raw Materials Management
(BDE), wrong items, in particular, end up in the packaging waste again and again, which actually belong in the residual waste.
If this happens frequently, the
garbage disposal
can
refuse to take you away
.
The waste then has to be sorted, which can usually be recognized by a sticker on the garbage can.
A
special emptying
can also be arranged, but that makes mistakes in the waste separation really expensive.
Why isn't the garbage can emptied?
Too full tons become a problem
But it is not just a
lack of waste separation that
is increasingly becoming a problem.
Also
overload
the trash can ensure that the waste is simply allowed to stand.
As, for example, the Ingolstädter Kommunalbetriebe (AöR) emphasize, there is talk of overcrowding when the garbage can no longer closes.
Then, in case of doubt, it may even be necessary for consumers to order a so-called
special
drain.
This costs extra.
Also interesting:
Emptying organic waste: This is how often you really have to dispose of your waste.
For some, a welcome solution then seems to be to
simply compact
the
garbage
with the help of a garbage compactor ordered online.
But caution is advised here, because: As the consumer advice center North Rhine-Westphalia warns, this can also be expensive.
Because not only the look is taken into account, but also the
weight of the garbage cans
.
If it is too heavy, the bin can be left standing.

Garbage can not emptied: If the garbage disposal does not come to the can
In addition to the
errors when filling
, the garbage disposal is sometimes faced with another problem.
You simply cannot get to the garbage cans, which consequently makes emptying impossible.
Not even the users of the garbage can have to be able to do that.
Because if someone else's car is parked incorrectly in a narrow street, it can already ensure that there is no longer any way for the large vehicles to get through.
Depending on the region, garbage cans also have to be placed on the street.
Special
collection days
then apply for each type of garbage
