Early information about the 2026 collection calendar: Important changes for everyone!

The collection calendar for 2026 is now available on the Adelzhausen community website. The communities affected are Adelzhausen, Dasing, Eurasburg, Obergriesbach and Sielenbach. This was announced on November 10, 2025. This year there will be significant changes to the emptying of paper containers, yellow bins and yellow containers. These adjustments are intended to help ensure that collection is more punctual and reliable.

The last few years have been marked by delays in waste disposal, which can be attributed to unsuitable tours and the overload of new development areas. In order to improve the situation, the tours were redistributed. In this way, those responsible hope to make waste disposal more efficient. A brief overview of the most important changes is also available as an attachment to give citizens a quick overview.

Digitalization of waste management

In addition to the announcement of the collection calendar, a new online portal for municipal waste management will be introduced. According to the waste management of the Aichach-Friedberg district office, free registration is required to use the various services online. Users can manage their bins, emptying and notices from the comfort of their own home. The collection calendar for 2026 is also available for download via this portal.
Furthermore, in the coming days, the waste app will be updated to version 3.0, which will offer a new design, useful functions and complete accessibility.

As part of the efforts to reduce waste, citizens also receive the brochure “We have it in our hands”, which gives tips on how to reduce waste. This ranges from the recommendation to use soap instead of shower gel to seasonal and regional fruit and vegetables and packaging-free shopping.

Waste statistics in Germany

An expanded context for waste management is provided by the annual waste balance for Germany, which contains important information on plastic waste. This waste falls under the categories “mixed packaging/recyclables” and is recorded using specific key numbers. Basic data on the various types of waste is available in the GENESIS online database up to and including the 2006 reporting year.

The statistics show that plastics in the gray bin are classified as household waste, while plastics collected separately are recorded in separate statistics. A comprehensive understanding of waste management is crucial to better address the challenges of increasing waste volumes. Ongoing digital optimization and information dissemination efforts are consistent with waste management's goals of increasing efficiency and sustainability.

The introduction of the new collection calendar and digital offerings shows that municipalities and waste management are striving to meet the needs of citizens and promote sustainable waste management.
