Plastics can be found in almost all products, such as cell phones, bicycle tires, fishing nets, garden chairs, watering cans, wash bowls, cover film or car parts. You can hand in plastic waste at the recycling stations.

    The plastic waste that is accepted at the Bremen recycling stations includes, for example, laundry baskets, tubs, garden furniture and flower tubs.

    Plastic car parts, for example, are not accepted.
