Recycling in Germany
Waste Management Guidance for the local area:
If you live off-base you probably received the “Abfall-Fibel “, a waste management handbook. It provides for each particular location an on-line calendar listing the pick-up dates. You can choose between a print version, an e-mail reminder service and the possibility to import the pick-up dates into your personal on-line calendar.
The link www.art-trier.de/kalender takes you to the A.R.T. Abfuhrkalendar page.
Step 1 - Enter the name of your place of residence in the search (suchen) block. If you are searching for the pick-up dates for a larger town you might be asked to also enter the district and street name.
Step 2 – Select your choice: the print version (Druckversion), the digital calendar (Digitaler Jahreskalender) or the e-mail reminder (E-Mail-Erinnerung).
