Important:
This waste must be emptied and thrown in loose. You should always separate the individual packaging components, e.g. lids, closures and wrappings. This will help you to recycle the different materials efficiently.
How are the bins collected?
The yellow garbage cans are emptied by Servicegesellschaft Jena mbH and transferred to KSJ at Löbstedter Straße 68.
Around 3,800 tons of sales packaging accumulate in the Jena collection area every year.

What happens next?
After collection, this waste is allocated to the dual systems according to market share. The dual systems are a take-back system for the collection, sorting and recycling of sales packaging. Der Grüne Punkt - Duales System Deutschland GmbH (DSD) was the first and is probably the best-known dual system. Today, "Der Grüne Punkt GmbH" is one of many providers of take-back systems.
Each dual system is responsible for meeting its own statutory recycling quotas. The collection mix collected in Jena is transported to the individual sorting/recycling plants by haulage companies.
