The waste separation in Germany (Mülltrennung)is quite comprehensive and taken seriously. Not only by strict governmental and state policies but also by the Germans themselves. I got raised separating trash properly; it is as if it’s in our blood 😅. It is therefore my pleasure to help you out with this trash guide for Germany.
In German homes, it is common to find the following 3-4 different trash bins: 1. Blue bin 2. Yellow bin(or yellow bag in Southern Germany) 3. Black or gray bin 4. Green or brown bin (not in all homes)
You should start separating your trash the moment you produce it. Sifting through one big bag afterward is not so much fun, and throwing it unseparated will either lead to a fine or your trash simply won’t be picked up. So how do you become a model German resident and separate your trash correctly at home? Let’s take a closer look at each bin color...
Most glass bottles (except for wine and spirits) and plastic bottles have a deposit (Pfand). When you buy these items, you pay an extra 8-25 cents each, which you will get back upon returning them. We have written a detailed guide about how Pfand works in Germany.
Electronics, Batteries and Light bulbs
Please do not put electronics in your regular house trash. Instead, return them in dedicated locations to allow proper recycling. The easiest way to return electronics and light bulbs is in your nearest electronics store, such as MediaMarkt and Saturn, and hardware stores such as Bauhaus and Hornbach. You can also find batteries and light bulbs recycling bins in supermarkets such as REWE, Aldi, or dm.
Paint and lacquers
The same as for electronics applies for leftovers of paint and lacquers. They should be disposed of properly, and your local hardware store takes care of that. You can return them to the likes of Obi and Hornbach.

Another option to donate old clothes is to pack them in a cardboard box and mail them free of charge from your nearby post office to the German Clothing Fou...
Each city prints its waste management calendar (Abfallkalender) and sends it to each household at the beginning of the year. It tells you the dates when the different bins will get picked up in your neighborhood and how to dispose of special waste in your area. You have to put those bins on the sidewalk in front of your house the night before the p...
Where there are rules, there, of course, are fines. You can find a summary of all penalties for disrespecting German regulations and laws in the German Fine Catalog (Bußgeldkatalog). Each German state manages the fines differently. For disposing of your trash against the rules and, more importantly, in a way that does not allow recycling, you can r...
