Segregate all recyclables The quality of segregation determines the further reuse Ask for recycled items Look for recycling opportunities in your area

In Germany the solid waste collection and discharge has turned into a resources saving material ow management. All segregated fractions are re-used as resources saving raw materials. If the re-use is no more possible the material is used for heat and electricity generation. Commonly segregated and curbside collected fractions in Germany: Paper/Cardboard (Papier-Pappe-Karton) White/Colored Paper Paperback Books Wrapping Paper Phone Books Cardboard Newspaper Magazines Commercial Mail Paper Bags Envelopes Shoe boxes Paperboards Biodegradables Yard Trimming Branches Bushes Wood Coffee-Filters, Tea-Bags Fruit and Vegetables Egg-Shells
