Waste disposal
In Heilbronn waste is collected in waste containers, compost containers, yellow bags and yellow containers (for small packaging materials), blue containers (for recyclable paper) and at recycling centers. The waste containers are the property of the city of Heilbronn. Please contact the waste management companies directly to obtain the necessary waste containers or to dispose of any bulk waste. When moving within Heilbronn, take the waste containers with you, if there is not already a shared waste container at the new address. However, if you are moving away from Heilbronn, you will need to contact a waste management company to have the containers picked up. You must contact the waste management authorities at least 14 days in advance to notify them that you will be taking the containers with you, or require them to be picked up upon your move.
Waste adviser app:
The waste adviser app provided by waste management Heilbronn lets you set up reminders when to empty your waste, compost, blue and yellow containers/bags. It also provides information on where to dispose of which types of waste. The app also lists the dates of when hazardous waste, as well as garden and shrub waste will be collected. It lists all recycling center sites and glass and textile collection sites, as well as the addresses where you can purchase waste bags, and gives you directions how to get there.
Snow and ice removal duty:
Generally the home and property owner is responsible for the removal of snow and ice from the sidewalks. If you are renting or leasing the property, check your rent or lease agreement to see if you are responsible for removing snow and ice.
Snow and ice removal times:
Sidewalks must be free of snow and ice, and strewn with salt or sand by 8:30 a.m. from Monday to Saturday, and by 9:00 a.m. on Sundays. Snow and ice removal duty ends at 9:00 p.m.
