Restmülltonne (residual waste bin)

Why

  • Dog poo belongs in the residual waste bin because it is not compostable.
  • It can contain pathogens and therefore must not go in the bio bin.
  • In most municipalities, disposal in the residual waste bin is mandatory.

Some municipalities provide special dog waste bags or bins that must be disposed of separately. Check with your local waste disposal authority.

Before you throw it away
