Error in the 2026 disposal calendar: Paper bin P1 affected!

On November 21, 2025, the disposal calendar for 2026 was published in the November Bürgerbladl. This contains important information about waste disposal in the municipality of Pettendorf. However, there is an error in the calendar: the paper bin marked P1 is not emptied in the months of May and June. In order to remedy this deficiency, the P1 emptying is carried out in these months together with the emptying of the P2 paper bin. The calendar correction has already been updated online to ensure that all citizens receive the correct information. An electronic disposal calendar is also available, which has a reminder function to remind users of the various collection dates. Details can be found at Pettendorf.

Waste management plays a central role in public infrastructure. Annualized statistics on the generation and disposal of waste, including plastics, have been published in Germany. Plastic waste is recorded under mixed packaging and recyclables. Important key figures for the classification of this waste are documented in a specialist series from the federal and state statistical offices. The data regarding the amount of plastic in waste disposal facilities can be found, among other things, in the specialist series 19, row 1 “Waste disposal”. This information can be viewed via the statistical offices.

Waste separation and disposal

Waste separation is a fundamental part of waste management, increasing the efficiency of resource use and reducing environmental impact. The data collected also includes the separately collected plastics, which are recorded in special statistics. It is important to note that plastics that end up in the gray bin can be found under the category “domestic waste, commercial waste similar to household waste”. Accurate recording of waste types is essential to improve recycling rates and enable more sustainable waste management.

For anyone who would like to regularly check the collection dates for their waste, the municipal collection calendars are a valuable resource. Information on waste disposal can be found not only locally, but also on a national level through the city of Hamburg, which regularly updates its collection calendar. This overview provides an additional opportunity to plan waste disposal services and ensure compliance with all regulations. Further details are available in the Stadtreinigung Hamburg collection calendar.
