Stadtreinigung Hamburg

The mobile hazardous waste collection service accepts pollutants and toxic materials, as well as small electrical appliances, from private households free of charge. Qualified specialists also provide advice on the disposal of hazardous waste.

Hazardous waste is defined as waste that poses a particular health and environmental risk. Hazardous waste does not belong in the garbage and should be disposed of as environmentally friendly as possible via the hazardous waste collection service (mobile or stationary at recycling centers). When dropped off, they should be placed in a closed container and labeled as accurately as possible.

These problematic substances do not belong in the garbage bin, but in the hazardous waste collection:
Batteries (car batteries can be handed in at recycling centers)
Small electrical appliances of any kind (eg electric toys, electric toothbrushes, razors, toasters, etc.) with a maximum edge length of 45 centimeters
Fluorescent tubes, energy-saving light
bulbs, thermometers Paint and varnish residues, rust protection agents, acids, alkalis, stains, plant and wood preservatives, stain removers and waterproofing agents, adhesives, shoe polish and waxes
