Important information about the disposal of Advent wreaths
While Christmas trees are easy to pick up, Advent wreaths are a little more difficult. These must be disposed of in the black residual waste bin as they often contain wire, Styrofoam or plastics that are not recyclable. It is therefore important to choose the right way to dispose of waste in an environmentally friendly manner.
Overall, the city of Hamburg is contributing to sustainability with this campaign and making it easy for everyone to dispose of their old Christmas tree correctly and in an environmentally friendly way. So make the final preparations quickly so that the Christmas tree is ready for collection on time!
