Dispose of fallen fruit correctly: Tips for garden owners in Regensburg

Regensburg (RL). Fallen fruit season is here again, and many garden owners are faced with the challenge of managing their harvest. There is often more fruit left over than you can process or eat. In such cases the question arises as to what should be done with the surplus windfall. The waste management department of the Regensburg district office has now presented various options to make this situation easier.

There is a simple solution for most households: small amounts of fallen fruit can easily be placed in organic waste containers at recycling centers or other collection points in the district. This regulation allows citizens to dispose of up to 0.5 cubic meters of fallen fruit via green waste containers or green waste dumps at recycling centers. This is a practical way to get rid of the fruit in an environmentally friendly way.

Larger quantities and composting

However, if you have larger quantities of fallen fruit, you don't have to worry. The district offers compost sites where the fruit can be put to useful use. There the fallen fruit is integrated into the compost cycle, which leads to the production of high-quality compost soil. Not only is this an environmentally friendly solution, but it also helps improve soil quality.

The exact opening times of the disposal facilities can be found on the district website. For a quick overview, citizens can also use the district's waste app, which provides all relevant information. This makes disposing of fallen fruit child's play.
