Why
- Calendars are almost entirely made of paper.
- Paper belongs in the Papiertonne (blue bin).
- Remove any metal or plastic elements and dispose of them separately.
The metal spiral may need to go in the Gelbe Tonne (yellow bin) or to the Wertstoffhof (recycling centre) in some areas, otherwise in the general waste.
