Waste: Disposal of hazardous waste (special waste)

Teaser

The waste disposal of private households and thus also of hazardous waste from private households is the responsibility of the districts and independent cities as public waste disposal authorities.

Please note in particular our information under:

  • Service description

    The disposal of waste from private households, including problematic substances/pollutants, as well as disposal waste from other sources is the responsibility of the public waste management authorities (districts and independent cities).

    Hazardous materials are types of waste that, due to their physical properties, must not be disposed of with household trash, as they may pose a health risk and/or have harmful effects on the environment.
    Further regulations regarding hazardous materials are set forth in the individual waste disposal ordinances and fee schedules.
    This includes, among other things, information on waste fees, waste collection schedules (collection intervals), and available pickup and drop-off systems (hazardous waste collection trucks, recycling centers).

  • Procedure

    Special information for the Fulda district

    There are two different ways for citizens and businesses to collect hazardous waste. On the one hand, there is the stationary collection, which takes place every Thursday from 14:00 - 17:00 and every first Saturday of the month from 8:00 - 12:00 at the company PreZero, Liebigstr. 3,36041 Fulda (Industriegebiet West).

    There is also a mobile collection service twice a year at six fixed locations in the district, where private individuals can drop off their hazardous waste in normal household quantities. Please refer to the publications of the municipalities.

  • What fees apply?

    Special information for the Fulda district

    Hazardous waste from private households can be handed in free of charge in normal household quantities at both the stationary and mobile hazardous waste collection points. Fees are charged for hazardous waste from businesses. Please ask the waste management department of the district of Fulda about these fees.

    As is the case for waste disposal as a whole, there is no standardized nationwide fee regulation for the disposal of hazardous waste by the districts and independent cities.


    Information on the costs incurred can be found in the respective waste fee statutes of your public waste disposal authority.

  • Legal basis

    Local bylaws of the districts and independent cities (usually separated into waste disposal bylaws and waste fee bylaws, published on the Internet or in the official gazette/district gazette)
