Basic information
Once a year, every private household can have bulky waste up to 5 m³ collected free of charge. However, bulky waste must be ordered separately for each household.
Bulky waste is furniture and furnishings from private households which, even after reasonable shredding, do not fit into the approved waste containers due to their bulkiness, weight or material properties, or which could damage them or make them difficult to empty.
Please remember to place your bulky waste on the sidewalk no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before or no later than 6 a.m. on the day of collection. If there is no sidewalk in front of the property and you need to place your bulky waste elsewhere, please contact the customer service department of Die Bremer Stadtreinigung in person.
