I know this is an old post of yours, but saved my butt!! I tried translating some stuff our landlord gave us, but that didn't help much and I could bring myself to believe the small brown container we have is really for food compost and not just grass clippings! Now do you have any advice of how to figure out when what gets picked up? What's happened the last couple weeks doesn't match with the calendar I have. I guess I'll research further.... Bless you!!!

I have to admit I'm still rather confused, we only have a Brown bin and a Green Bin. No yellow. We were under the impression Green was for compost, and brown was for packaging. Any insight you have would be great. Thanks! Thanks for the help.. I have to admit I’m still rather confused, we only have a Brown bin and a Green Bin. No yellow.

I'm not certain, but I imagine you shouldn't put plastic bags in the organic bin. They sell bio-bags at the supermarket, I would probably use one of those. Or just look how everyone else is doing it. @stefan: That was great. Our whole village meets at the Wertstoffhof on Saturday mornings and we have a König as well. Sounds like Martina Schwarzmann has been to our village. @cathy: Sorry, I didn’t respond, every once in a while I don’t get notified about new comments.

If it's dirty, it should go in the regular trash (gray/black bin). @shayne: Just throw it in, but make sure the stuff is clean. If it’s dirty, it should go in the regular trash (gray/black bin).
