SEPARATE WASTE
You’ve already discovered that we deal a lot with the topic of the environment. You can also actively support us, thereby separating your rubbish.
Ideally, you separate waste paper, glass, plastic & metal, and organic waste from the rest of the garbage and dispose of the waste accordingly. You can find out where you can dispose of the rubbish in the information about your apartment.
Do you need support on how to separate the waste? Here we have an overview for you of what belongs in which bin.
