- Single-use bottles (e.g. wine, spirit or fruit juice bottles)
- Food jars (e.g. jam jars, pickle jars, etc.)
- Glass containers (e.g. cosmetic packaging such as perfume flacons or medicine packaging made of glass)
What should not be placed in bottle banks:
- Window glass
- Mirror glass
- Lead crystal glass
- Bulbs
- Fluorescent tubes
- Energy-saving bulbs
- Ceramic goods
(e.g. pottery, porcelain and stoneware) - Glassware
Info & tips
Separate correctly:
- If the bottle banks are full, please take your glass packaging to the next collection point
- Do not deposit any bottles next to the bottle banks – risk of injury!
- Please note the rest times when putting bottles in the bottle banks: Mon. to Fri.: 7 pm until 7 am; Sat.: 7 pm until 7 am and 12 noon until 3 pm; Sunday and public holidays: all day
- Do not throw the bottles in the bottle banks so that they smash; instead, place them in the bottle banks.
- Please place glass packaging without any residues (i.e. no drops, no trickles, brushed out clean, scraped out clean) into the bottle bank.
- Before bottles, etc. are placed in the bottle bank, remove screw tops, lead ties and metal capsules and place them in the collection container for metal packaging; place plastic lids in the collection container for lightweight packaging.
- Even slightly tinted glass packaging belongs in the coloured glass section!
- Reusable bottles or deposit bottles belong back in the shops so that they can be filled again.
