Separation and disposal of packaging waste
Yellow Bags
Yellow Bags are destined for collecting packaging waste made of plastic, metal or composite
material. The packaging waste will then be separated and recycled in modern facilities.
Where do I get Yellow Bags?
The annual quantity is directly delivered to your home! Private households automatically receive a
roll of Yellow Bags in March every year. Households in need of additional bags for a more intensive
collection of recyclable materials have the possibility to order more. You can either order online on:
www.entsorgungsdaten.de or in person with vouchers you receive at the community centres and
other issuing offices.
After having registered, you will receive a postcard voucher with which you can collect a roll of
Yellow Bags at the following issuing offices:
