Price:

We charge €4.50 (including VAT) per bag.

Important:

• On collection day, simply place the filled bag next to your organic waste bin.
• For waste rooms or waste collection points that are not accessible at ground level, place the green waste bags in a clearly visible position at the roadside on collection day.
• Please do not put windfall fruit or soil in the green waste bags!
• Please keep the bag dry!
