Confidence: high · Place: Germany · Last checked: September 2026
Why
- The test contains chemical reagents and is not suitable for recycling.
- It is not hazardous waste, so it belongs in the residual waste.
- Most municipalities do not have a separate disposal facility for pregnancy tests.
Before you throw it away
- Remove the outer packaging.
- Dispose of the packaging in the Gelber Sack (yellow bag, for plastic).
- Throw the actual test into the Restmülltonne (residual waste bin).
