Hand in electrical appliances for disposal

Service Procedure Costs and deadlines

Procedure

Small electrical appliances are accepted at all recycling and green stations. You can also use the containers for small electrical appliances at the many container sites in the city.
You can deliver large electrical appliances to the Blockland, Burglesum, Hohentor, Hastedt and Kirchhuchting recycling stations - or have them collected by the bulky waste collection service.
Only the Blockland recycling station accepts photovoltaic modules and night storage heaters.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries (up to 500 g) are accepted at all recycling stations and in all stores that also sell them
Rechargeable batteries over 500 g and bicycle batteries are only accepted at the Blockland and Hastedt recycling stations
Energy-saving lamps, LED lamps and max. 20 fluorescent tubes are accepted at all recycling stations
CDs/DVDs, printer cartridges and toner cartridges are accepted at all recycling stations
If you have permanently installed equipment, you should dispose of it via a specialist electrical company. The company will usually dispose of the old appliances when they are replaced.
Delete all personal data from your data carriers, for example with special programs.
Batteries and lithium-ion batteries must - if possible - be disposed of separately from the electrical appliance. Please protect the lithium-ion batteries from short circuits by packaging them separately or taping over the terminals.

An overview of the stations and their acceptances can be found at Die Bremer Stadtreinigung under Recycling and green stations.
Removable batteries must be disposed of separately.
To further promote the recycling and reuse of used electrical appliances and conserve more raw materials, there are additional offers: For example, you can have your appliances repaired at Repair Cafés or hand in or give away appliances that are still working at some recycling stations so that it can be reused.
Illegal collections and removal from containers and bulky waste are a danger to the environment. Often, only the valuable raw materials are removed and the leftovers are disposed of illegally. This harms the environment and wastes valuable resources. You can act responsibly and in an environmentally conscious manner by only handing in your disused electrical appliances to authorized collection points.
