Waste management information from city, county of Kaiserslautern

What goes in the glass containers?

Non-returnable glass bottles, jars and flasks — clean, without residue and without a lid (lids belong in the yellow bag).

Usage rules

Be considerate of residents and pay attention to throw-in times. Monday–Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Not on Sundays and public holidays!

• Separation of green, white and brown glass. Blue, red, and yellow glasses belong to the green glass.
• Glass container sites are no dumping area! Dumping any kind of waste constitutes illegal waste disposal, which is punished with a fine.
• Overfilled waste cans will not be picked up and emptied.

The picture shows an overfilled or too heavy container that will not close properly cannot be grabbed by the waste management workers or the vehicle and will be left on the sidewalk.
