Eco Adventskalender 2014: Day 14 Separate your waste!

14th of Dec: My „Eco Adventskalender“ suggestion for today: Separate your waste, in particular paper and make sure to fill the bin correctly! Only put clean paper into the paper bins (in Munich blue paper bin).
Tetrapak is not paper, but consists of layers of paper, plastics, aluminium and must not be put into the paper bin (needs to go into bins for plastic). And of course, waste (like on this picture) must never be put into the paper bin. Waste can make the paper unsuitable for recycling. Depending on the amount of trash in the paper bin, they may also charge the normal fee for regular waste and pick it up with the other truck. This would be a pity, because paper can be recycled – which means that less trees need to be cut and recycled paper means also less energy and water consumption to produce new items.
PS: In Munich, you can also download the so-called „Trennliste“ in German and several other languages and stick it on the bins.
