Food preparation waste, cooked and uncooked food waste such as meat, bones, pasta, sauce, cheese, fat, spoiled or unpackaged foods, etc.

Lawn clippings, grass, leaves and small twigs.
Containers must be emptied on a regular basis to ensure that the fermentation process takes place at the biogas facility, and not in the collection container in front of your building. This will also reduce the risk of the appearance of insects such as maggots and flies, as the material spends less time in the container. Regular emptying of the container is important, regardless of how full.

House-to-house wood collection without containers.
Biodegradable waste (kitchen and garden waste) in waste containers is collected in house-to-house collections (weekly in summer, fortnightly in winter).

Containers must be used for reasons of compatibility with collection vehicles.

This waste must be disposed of in official Bottmingen 60 litre green waste sacks, which can be purchased for CHF 1.80 per sack.

Green waste sacks are available from
- Coop Bottmingen
- the Bottmingen municipal administration office

Please contact a gardening company for the disposal and recycling of larger quantities of garden waste. Addresses in Bottmingen and the surrounding area can be found via the usual trade directories.

More structured green waste such as leaves and small branches take longer to decay and are less suitable for the fermentation process. These can continue to be recycled via home composting. Ourcompost advice service will be happy to provide you with tips and advice.
