You can hand in your construction waste and rubble up to a volume of 1 cubic meter (1,000 liters) at the recycling stations. Construction waste and rubble are handed in separately, as they are also recycled separately. This is because construction waste is mineral and construction waste is usually combustible. 

This is construction waste: 


  • Pipes and window frames, but also doors, skirting boards and ceiling moldings, ceiling coverings, laminate
  • Sanitary facilities such as bathtubs and shower cubicles (unless they are made of metal)

This is construction waste: 


  • Stones, gravel, broken concrete, mortar, ceramics, roof tiles
  • Tiles as well as windows, wired and flat glass

This is not construction waste: 


  • Buckets, electrical appliances, foil, wood, plastics, sockets and polystyrene are not construction waste.
  • Asbestos and artificial mineral fibers are separated due to their hazard potential and are only accepted at the Blockland recycling station.

So that you can better estimate how much a cubic meter is, you will find three cubes in the sizes 0.1 cubic meter, 0.5 cubic meter and 1 cubic meter in the entrance area of the recycling stations. Thanks to the attached rollers, you can move the cubes freely and compare the amount of waste you have delivered. The cubes can be found at the Blockland, Hastedt, Hohentor, Kirchhuchting and Oberneuland recycling stations as well as in Blumenthal and Burglesum in the north of Bremen. 

Construction and demolition waste must be separated, stored, collected, transported and recycled as follows, provided it is generated separately: 


  • Glass
  • plastics
  • Metals, including alloys
  • Concrete, with the exception of concrete containing hazardous substances
  • Bricks, with the exception of bricks containing hazardous substances
  • Tiles, bricks, ceramics, unless they contain dangerous substances
  • Mixtures of concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics, unless they contain dangerous substances.

What documents do I need?
