Dear fellow citizens,
The 2021 municipal waste calendar published by Stadtbildpflege
(Kaiserslautern City Image Maintenance) once again provides
comprehensive information about recycling and waste management in Kaiserslautern.
Routes were optimized early in the year so collection days have changed in some streets.
Please make a note of your collection days, which can be checked in this guide, online at
www.stadtbildpflege-kl.de or using the Stadtbildpflege app.
I would also like to inform you that waste fees had to be increased moderately from 2021.
This is due to lower income from the monetization of wastepaper and general price hikes.
An illustrative range of the new waste fees for private households and commercial pro
-
perties can be found on page 9 of this guide.
The exceptional circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic have presented Stadtbild
-
pflege with some very particular challenges in 2020. The safety of waste disposal had
to be ensured for the general public in Kaiserslautern and at the same time, employees
had to be protected from infection in an eective way. By changing the organizational
structure and by implementing protection measures, we were able to avoid restrictions
to waste collection. In the coming year too, the municipal waste disposal company will be
implementing the measures made necessary by the coronavirus pandemic to ensure that
the public service continues reliably.
I wish you and your families a happy holiday season and a healthy, prosperous New Year!
Kaiserslautern, November 2020
Beate Kimmel
Mayor of the City of Kaiserslautern

Waste avoidance
Avoiding the creation of waste is always better than separating and recycling it
because waste does not only pollute the environment when being disposed of,
but also when it is produced. The lawmakers therefore have stipulated in the Kreis-
laufwirtschaftsgesetz, KrWG (Recycling and Waste Management Law) that waste
should be avoided as much as possible.
With a bit of initiative and practice it is easy to protect the environment and prevent
waste when shopping. If you buy low-waste products you personally contribute to
preserving natural resources and reducing environmental pollution.
!
Hints on avoiding waste:
• Avoid plastic waste! Choose unpackaged foods, e.g. from the local region,
or goods in reusable packaging. Use a basket or cloth bag for shopping.
• Use pollutant-free or low-polluting products. The “Blue Angel” symbol can guide
you in your decision.
• Avoiding disposable items reduces the use of raw materials and often saves
money. Choose refillable or durable products, e.g. rechargeable batteries,
reusable flatware and dishes.
• Do not purchase bulk packages if part of the food ends up in the trash.
Only purchase as many food items as you are able to use.
Online exchange platform
At www.stadtbildpflege-kl.de, the City Image Maintenance oers an alternative
to waste disposal: Via the online platform, Kaiserslautern citizens can exchange or
give away objects in good condition, e.g. furniture, gardening equipment,
toys or tableware.
Giving away and reusing everyday articles instead of dumping them, protects the
environment and fulfills the guiding waste management principle of preventing
waste – in keeping with the hierarchy for the ecient use of resources: avoidance
is better than recycling and disposal.

Garbage Disposal / Collection Dates
Trash Cans
The City Image Maintenance Kaiserslautern (Stadtbildpflege) is an ecient and
citizen-oriented municipal enterprise responsible for waste disposal for approxi-
mately 100.000 residents in the urban area. Furthermore, there is the disposal of
waste from businesses and public institutions.
We are a certified waste management facility. Therefore we are able to oer quality
and legal certainty for all waste management services which also includes cleaning
services for privately owned areas. Three municipal recycling centers are operated
by order of Stadtbildpflege which accept many recyclable materials during resident-
friendly operating hours. The delivery of normal household quantities is free of
charge for private households and businesses.
We ensure that non-recyclable waste is properly disposed of and that organic waste
and bulk refuse can be recycled at ZAK Kaiserslautern. By recycling electrical appli
-
ances, scrap paper, and cardboard, recyclable material can be reused as secondary
raw material.
We see to it that non-recyclable waste will be properly disposed of and bulk waste
from the municipal area can be converted to energy. We are recycling biodegradable
waste, electrical devices, scrap paper, cardboard and scrap metal so that the recycla
-
ble material can be reused as secondary raw material.
!
Please note:
• Private households and businesses can create their own individual pickup
calendar containing the pickup schedule for non-recyclable waste, scrap paper,
card board, biodegradable waste and yellow bags at www.stadtbildpflege-kl.de
For an ecient waste collection we provide dierent cans. They vary in size from
60 liters for a single-person household up to 1,100 liters for an apartment building.
In addition, businesses may also use our containers for their non-recyclable waste.
Please refer to page 18 for information on our container service.
!
Please note:
• Requests for new orders or cancellations including the exchange of refuse
containers have to be submitted in writing. You can download the appropriate
form from: www.stadtbildpflege-kl.de or pick it up at Daennerstraße 11, the
Citizens Center located at the City Hall and SWK, Bismarckstraße 14 and Fackelstraße 36.
• We must also be notified of any loss and damage of waste containers in
writing by providing the container number and user fee account number.
We also provide non-recyclable refuse containers for public or private functions.
Our service includes the allocation, emptying and removal of the refuse container.
Our container management is available on telephone number 0631/365-1700
.
Additional info concerning set-up, exchange and pick-up of the following recycling
containers:
• Black cans for non-recyclable waste (60, 90, 120, 240 liters)

Refuse Fee
The City of Kaiserslautern’s refuse disposal fee not only covers the costs for the refuse
collection but also finances many other services where no separate fees are charged.
The following services are included in the refuse disposal fee of private households:
The refuse fee is collected on an annual basis and depends on the size of the non-recyclable
refuse container. The property owner pays the fee. Here is an overview of the most common
container sizes and refuse fees:
Size of container
Collection every 2 weeks
Annual refuse fee
Private households
Annual refuse fee
Businesses
Private households
(for composting)
60 liters € 175.68 € 131.28 € 166.08
90 liters € 264.24 € 198.36 € 237.12
120 liters € 343.08 € 271.80 € 309.96
240 liters € 667.80 € 584.28 € 551.76
The amount of non-recyclable waste can be reduced by eliminating waste, recycling and
using the separate collection systems of waste (among others clothing drive, yellow
bag, scrap paper and cardboard collection).
Container Sizes
Size of the container
The number of persons who are registered to live in the household determines the
size of the container for non-recyclable refuse of private households.
Businesses have to dispose of their refuse (non-recyclable waste) via the city
of Kaiserslautern. The sizes of the required non-recyclable refuse containers
for businesses are determined by population equivalent. For example, health
insurances and other insurance companies with three employees are regarded
as one population equivalent. Hotels with 4 beds comply with one population
equivalent. A minimum volume of 11 liters per week is required per population
equivalent.
Further information is available on phone number: 0631/365-1700.

Used Clothing and TextilesRecyclable Glass
Recyclable glass is the most important raw material for producing new glass
packing material because it can repeatedly be melted down and turned into new
glass without loss of quality. Glass recycling conserves natural resources (silica
sand, sodium carbonate, lime) and reduces the consumption of energy, an active
contribution to environmental and climate protection.
Recyclable glass sorted by color is a higher-grade raw material than mixed glass.
So it is important to place your glass bottles and jars in the proper container. The
glass is hauled to the glassworks by 3-chamber trucks. This ensures that the die-
rent colors can be recycled separately.
The recycling company Jakob Becker GmbH empties the glass containers on behalf
of “Der Grüne Punkt – Duales System Deutschland“. Overfilled glass recycling con-
tainers can be reported under the following telephone numbers: 0800/5888885.
!
Among other things, these do not belong in the glass container:
• Energy-saving light bulbs, standard light bulbs, fluorescent lights
• Ceramics, clay pots, china
• Window glass, mirror glass
!
Please note:
• Please put red, blue and yellow glass in the container for green glass.
• Metal and plastic caps belong in the yellow bag.
• Please use the glass containers only on workdays between 8:00 and 13:00 h
and from 15:00 to 19:00 h.
You can also find container locations under www.stadtbildpflege-kl.de.
We collect used clothing and textiles for recycling or reuse. Thus, clothing and
shoes in serviceable condition find new users. Please collect only dry and
clean used clothing and textiles in sturdy plastic bags (no yellow bags!). The pro-
ceeds from the collection of used clothing benefit all refuse fee paying customers
in Kaiserslautern.
!
Among others, the following items are considered used clothing and textiles:
• Used clothing such as pants, coats, jackets etc.
• Shoes (tied per pair), belts, handbags
• Curtains and draperies
• Duvets
• Bed and table linen, hand and bath towels, wool blankets
!
Please note:
• Garments with integrated electronic parts such as shoes with LEDs, t-shirts with
flashing lights or heated gloves, are electronic scrap. Such appliances have to be
turned in at the municipal recycling centers separately.
Private households and businesses can arrange a free pickup by calling the
following telephone number: 0631/365-3521. Please place the closed plastic bags
at the curb no later than 7.00 am on the day of collection.
We have additionally provided containers for collecting used clothing and textiles.
Used clothing container locations are available at www.stadtbildpflege-kl.de.
Used clothing and textiles can also be taken to the municipal recycling centers free
of charge. In the suburbs, the “Umweltmobil” (hazardous waste collecting truck)
is available for dropping o used clothing and textiles on designated collection
dates. Please refer to page 27 for the exact locations and collection times of the
“Umweltmobil”.

Scrap Metal Waste Paper
Particularly in this day and age, recycling of scrap metal is more important than
ever as raw materials are getting scarcer and environmental protection plays a
significant role in our everyday life. Processing scrap metal is more cost-eective
and eco-friendly than mining and new production, thus saving raw
materials and energy which generates less pollution.
As in previous years, we oer a free pickup service of large bulky metal items. Any
business or private household can arrange a pickup date for normal household me-
tal items by calling the telephone number: 0631/365-3521. Please be sure to have
the items ready for pickup on the appointed day no later than 7.00 am.
!
Scrap metal is, for example:
• Gasoline powered lawn mowers (without gas)
• Cross trainers, home fitness equipment
• Bicycles
• Metal garden furniture
• Gas stoves, laundry racks
• Metal shelves, metal chairs
• Metal fences, metal tubs
In addition, the municipal recycling centers also accept bulk waste and small items
of metal.
Scrap paper and cardboard are the most valuable raw materials for producing new
paper, cardboard, and cardboard packaging because recycled paper and card-
board have largely replaced the use of timber and reduced fresh water and energy
consumption. The containers for scrap paper and cardboard ensure that your scrap
paper and cardboard stays dry and can be recycled in clean and good condition.
Your waste containers (volume: 120 to 1.100 liters) will be emptied every four weeks
as part of the regular process.
Please note that your scrap paper and cardboard container must be placed at the
curb before 7 am on the collection day. Please do not place additional cardboard or
bundles of scrap paper etc. next to the container! Rip or cut bulky cardboard into
small pieces to make them fit into the scrap paper container.
At your home, use products made of recycled paper, such as stationery, paper
towels and toilet paper as well as note pads. Look out for the Blue Angel eco-
label when you shop. It guarantees that the recycled paper was made of 100%
waste paper.
Large cardboard boxes (e.g. moving boxes) and larger quantities of waste paper
can be taken to the city’s recycling centers.
!
Among other things, this is waste paper:
• Cardboards
• Newspapers/magazines
• Catalogs
• Paperback books
• Envelopes
• Paper wrappings
!
Among other things, this is not waste paper:
• Used wallpaper (=non-recyclable waste)
• Wax paper, carbon paper
(=non-recyclable waste)
• Milk and beverage
packaging (=yellow bag)
• file folders (=non-recyclable waste)
• Kitchen papers (=organic waste)
• Heavily soiled paper

Construction and Renovation Waste Organic Waste / Composting
Organic waste
More than a third of our household garbage consists of usable organic kitchen and
garden waste. It contains valuable substances that can be returned to the natural
biological cycle by composting.
Biodegradable refuse is picked up in brown containers (120 l, 240 l) in the munici-
pal area. Starting 1 January 2017 you are welcome to receive these with a filter lid.
One container for biodegradable refuse is free of charge per 60 to 240 liter non-
recyclable refuse container. An additional fee is charged for additional containers.
From June to October, the container is emptied weekly. From November to May,
the container is emptied every two weeks.
Bags for any additional organic waste can be bought throughout the year. The bags are
collected on the same day as the can for organic waste is emptied. Bags are available
for € 4.00 in the urban recycling centers, in the city hall (citizen center), in all local
administrations and at the SWK Customer Service center in Bismarckstraße 14.
!
Among other things, this goes into the bio waste container:
• Bread and baked goods leftovers
• Fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells and potato peels
• Cheese left overs
• Coee grounds, coee filters and tea bags, kitchen papers
• Leftover food (raw, cooked, spoiled)
• Meat, fish and sausage trimmings
• Citrus fruits and banana peels
• Potted plants, cutflowers
• Garden waste, such as grass clippings or leaves
Composting
Organic waste can be turned into valuable fertilizer by natural means through
composting on your own property.
We will be more than happy to provide advice regarding composting on phone

Container Service Electrical and Electronic Appliances
Container Service
For renovating, clearing out apartments/houses or construction sites, we provide
private households and businesses with the appropriate containers for the accru-
ing refuse. We ensure the legally obligated proper transfer of private households’
refuse such as garden clippings, bulky refuse etc. and refuse from businesses to
the recycling or refuse disposal centers.
Containers are available in dierent sizes starting from 5.5 m³. If desired, we oer
some sizes with lids.
You can have the following refuse disposed of in our containers:
• Demolition waste
• Garden clippings
• Bulky refuse
Skip containers (5.5 m³ to 10 m³)
Skip containers are well suited for picking up refuse from private households due to
their relative small space requirement during shunting and setting down.
The following containers are at your disposal:
• 5.5 m³
• 7 m³
• 10 m³
Roll-o containers (starting at 10 m³)
Roll-o containers are ideally suited for large quantities of refuse, particularly those
generated by businesses. Please consider the additional space and shunting requi
-
rement for these containers.
The following container sizes are at your disposal:
• up to 10 m³
• more than 10 m³ up to 20 m³
• more than 20 m³
Our container service will be more than happy to advise you on the dierent container
sizes and costs on the telephone number: 0631/365-1700.
• Construction debris
• Excavated soil
• Other kinds of refuse upon information request!
Damaged or old electrical and electronic appliances not only have recyclable
material inside that can serve as valuable raw material for other products, they
also contain a number of harmful substances.
According to the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, electri-
cal devices must be collected separately and disposed of in an environ-
mentally safe manner. For this reason, new electronic devices feature
the symbol shown on the left. This symbol indicates that the electronic
device must not be disposed of in the container for non-recyclable wa-
ste. Since 2018, this also includes furniture and garments with electrical functions
provided that the electronic component is permanently integrated in the product.
You can drop o normal household quantities of electronic scrap at the municipal
recycling centers. Before doing so, please remove batteries from tablets, mobile
phones etc. and hand them over separately.
!
Accepted are:
• Used garments with electronic components (e.g. light-up shoes, t-shirts with
LEDs, heated gloves)
• Large electric household appliances (e.g. washing machines, dishwashers,
electric ranges)
• Radiators and refrigerators (Please note: not accepted by the recycling center
at Pfastraße 3!)
• Consumer electronics and IT equipment (e.g. computers, telephones, TVs)
• Gas discharge lamps (fluorescent lights, energy saving light bulbs)

Yellow Bag (Gelber Sack)
Sales packaging is reusable material that can be recycled. The packaging is made
of plastic, metal and composites and it is collected in yellow bags. The packaging
does not have to be rinsed, it should only be roughly clean and empty.
Pickup, transport, and sorting of packing material is carried out pursuant to the legal
guidelines of the German dual system (DSD) RKD. This also includes the distribution of
collection bags. The system is not financed by your refuse fee but through purchasing
products.
Since 2019, Jakob Becker GmbH has been responsible for picking-up the bags as
well as for delivering the bags to the issuing agencies. We recommend that you
contact Jakob Becker GmbH directly by calling telephone number: 06303/804191 if
you have any questions or concerns regarding the distribution, quality and pickup
of the yellow bags.

Among other things, these belong in the yellow bag:
• Bottle caps
• Beverage packaging, soup packets
• Yogurt cups, shampoo bottles
• Cans, spray cans
• Plastic bags and plastic foil
• Styrofoam packaging

!
Among other things, these do not belong in the yellow bag:

Additional distribution points are listed on pages 10-11.

Overflowing city waste baskets, discarded cigarette butts or scattered dog drop-
pings – the cleaning services carried out by the municipal street cleaning division
provide more cleanliness and safety and are thus a crucial part of the city’s appea-
rance.
Come rain or shine, the cleaning teams keep more than 600 km of sidewalks,
streets, and public open spaces clean. Aside from cleaning streets and sidewalks,
our teams are also involved in the Kaiserslautern municipal winter services. The
precise scope of responsibilities is regulated by the Kaiserslautern City street
cleaning bylaws.
Our street cleaning services regularly empty approximately 530 city waste baskets
which are predominantly located in places where many people gather, such as bus
stops, trac lights and pedestrian zones.
!
Please note:
• If you come across illegal waste dumping, this can be reported to us using the City
Image Maintenance app “Stadtbildpflege“.
A nuisance that keeps recurring: dog owners walk their pets on public streets and
sidewalks and don‘t pick up the dirt. To address the increasing pollution problem,
we have equipped several city waste baskets with poop bags. A map of dispenser
locations can be found on www.stadtbildpflege-kl.de.

Collection of Hazardous Waste by the Hazardous Waste Truck Hazardous Waste Truck: Locations and Dates
Because of the coronavirus pandemic and for the protection of us all, the following
rules apply – until they are revoked – to the dumping of problem waste: Onsite, the
waste should be briefly described and then placed in a handover box.
Then, “Umweltmobil“ employees will place the pollutants in the hazardous waste
truck. During this process, the relevant distancing and hygiene rules for infection
protection must be observed.
Every household generates hazardous waste that can pollute air, soil, lakes,
rivers and groundwater if disposed of incorrectly. That is why this waste must be
handled professionally and may not be discarded in the black container for
non-recyclable waste!
Normal household hazardous chemicals can be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly way and free of charge at the so-called “Umweltmobil” (hazardous waste
collecting truck). This special truck accepts hazardous waste in normal household
quantities at the municipal recycling centers and other locations throughout a
week every month. Please refer to page 27 for further information.
!
Among other things, this is hazardous waste:
• Old paint
• Old varnish
• Paint remover
• Waste oil
• Batteries
• Chemicals
• Energy-saving light bulbs
• Anti-freeze
• Wood preserver
• Lye
• Fluorescent lights
• Organic solvents
• Oil-stained items
• Pesticides
• Acids
• Spray cans with residual content
• Paint thinner
The ZAK central collection point at Kapiteltal accepts waste containing harmful
substances from households and businesses.
!
Hint:
The “Umweltmobil” (hazardous waste collecting truck) does not accept hazardous
waste from commercial enterprises.
