Recycle packaging instead of destroying it
Most food is packaged in plastic - plastic that has a short lifespan of just a few weeks. Food packaging has high hygiene requirements and is therefore very suitable for material recycling.
A look in the shopping cart shows what belongs in the collection bag, in the separate collection or in the garbage bin.

Soiled packaging
Heavily soiled items or items with residual contents do not belong in the collection bag, as they can cause contamination of the sorting machine.

Toys in good condition are welcome in second-hand shops.
