Christmas trees in the green waste, leftover food in the organic waste bin: how to properly dispose of Christmas waste
District - After the Christmas holidays, the rubbish usually piles up.
But what to do with the bottle cork, the Christmas tree and the pile of wrapping paper?
The municipal company AWISTA has explained in a press release how Christmas rubbish is properly disposed of.
The following applies to the glass container: No drinking glasses, no porcelain, no mirrors, no broken Christmas tree balls, but disposable bottles and screw-top bottles can be disposed of here. Christmas baubles, for example, belong in the residual waste bin. According to AWISTA, the balls in the waste glass would lead to considerable quality problems in new production.
The mountain of wrapping paper, even if it sparkles and sparkles, is mostly just printed and can be thrown away in the waste paper. Only coated paper, such as baking paper, belongs in the residual waste bin. Newspapers and magazines as well as brochures, cardboard packaging, egg cartons and paper bags also belong in the waste paper or the blue bin. Christmas cards and envelopes with a viewing window can also be thrown away with paper. According to AWISTA, these can be recycled with the envelope or separated in the paper mill's disintegration process.
The last remnants of the roast and the withered holiday flowers belong in the organic waste bin. Egg and nut shells as well as coffee grounds are also right there. Bones, bones and sawdust as well as leftover meat and cooked food also belong in the organic waste bin, writes the municipal company. Biodegradable garbage bags are problematic because they do not rot quickly enough and endanger the quality of the organic waste.
Christmas trees and branches must be completely decorated before disposal.
Branches sprayed with decoration spray belong in the residual waste bin.
Decorated Christmas trees and Advent wreaths belong in the green waste containers at the recycling depots or can be returned to the green waste composting facility in Hadorf after the Christmas holidays.
Smaller twigs can also be put in the organic waste bin.
Wreaths of straw, metal hoops, floral foam, wire for fixing and supports, decorations or glue residues should be removed.
