 Wiesbaden. Instead, you can use paper bags
 or newspaper for bio-collection.

 and green waste paper bags
 ELW recycling centres, the collection point
 for small items, ELW depot and the environ-

Electrical and electronic equipment contains
valuable raw materials
In addition to valuable raw materials such as copper or sheet steel, it also contains
environmentally harmful substances such as lead or cadmium. All electrical equip-
ment can be handed in to recycling centres and the collection point for small items at
the landfill free of charge. Small electrical devices can also be handed to the mobile
waste service. For large and bulky electrical and electronic equipment, please use
the bulky waste service.

Rechargeable batteries instead of disposables
Instead of disposable batteries use rechargeable batteries;
purchasing a charger is worthwhile in many ways.
