Waste Disposal Fees

In addition to the costs of waste disposal and the collection of household and bulky waste, the costs of collecting and disposing of recyclable and hazardous waste must also be covered. The following fees are charged by the Waste Collection Association for the Fulda District.

  • Waste disposal fees for privately owned properties

    The waste collection fee for privately owned properties consists of the following two components:

    1. Basic Fee

    It is charged for each person residing on the property and amounts to 2.70 EUR per month.

    Exceptions:

    • No additional fee for the third and each additional child in a household (upon request, up to age 27, if these children are enrolled in vocational training or college).
    • No fee for individuals who do not form their own household but are part of a household as the fifth or subsequent person (upon request).

     2. Container fee

    The bin fee is charged based on the size and collection frequency of the trash bin.
    A minimum of 7.5 liters of bin capacity must be available per person per calendar week.

  • Waste Collection Fees for Commercial Properties

    Properties used for commercial or other purposes are subject to a "commercial waste fee," which includes a flat-rate charge for the property and for waste containers.
    Commercial residual waste containers cannot be picked up every four weeks.

  • Recycling Center Fees

    The following fees apply for using the recycling centers:

    Very small quantities (up to about 50 liters)3.00 euros2.00 euros5.00 euros6.00 euros per 0.5 cubic meter or fraction thereof

    250 liters to 500 liters20.00 euros12.00 euros30.00 euros

    All other types of waste and recyclables are accepted free of charge.

    Note: By pre-sorting your waste appropriately, you not only avoid time-consuming and labor-intensive re-sorting when dropping it off at the recycling center, but you can also save on fees, since some types of waste are cheaper to dispose of than others. If you drop off all waste unsorted, it will be classified as non-recyclable construction waste.
