Padlock
The gray bin can be equipped with a locking system at a cost of 25 € (price of the padlock plus assembly).
The replacement of the green and grey garbage cans as well as the lock are non-refundable, once the garbage can is returned to the municipality.
Tip
Since the municipal waste disposal bill for each three-month period consists of a connection fee (fixed fee) of €46.50 plus the number of times the grey garbage can is actually emptied, remember to sort your waste. The less you use the grey garbage can, the lower your municipal tax bill will be. And the environment will also be grateful.
Diff App: Never forget to take out your garbage again
You can subscribe to the section „déchets“ in our Diff App. By entering your street name when you subscribe, you will receive a notification on your phone the day before the waste collection service comes. That way, you’ll never forget to take out the right garbage can at the right time. The mobile application also allows you to fill out a bulky waste collection form.
Change of address
In case of a change of address within the municipality, the waste containers must be taken with you to the new address, as the municipality does not guarantee the transfer of waste containers between the two addresses.
If you move out of the municipality or change your address in a residence with a communal garbage can system, the grey and green garbage cans used at the old address cannot be left as they are, but must be cancelled with the relevant department. The blue and brown garbage cans are not usually taken back by the municipality.
