Waste sorting in Wuppertal

In Germany, all households are required by law to separate their waste. The requirements may differ slightly from federal state to federal state. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the waste is divided into residual waste (black bin), paper waste (blue bin), plastics (yellow bin) and organic waste (brown bin). These are taught by the waste collection service on fixed dates.
