  • Service

    Full service

    If you have booked the full service, this also applies to the organic and paper waste containers as well as the yellow bags.
    The annual costs are calculated for each residual waste container. The fee depends on the emptying interval and container size.

    Partial service

    All waste containers for which there is no full service must be made available for emptying by the user by 7 a.m. on the collection day. Once the bins have been emptied, they must be returned to the property as soon as possible.

    Aachener Stadtbetrieb offers a full service under certain conditions. Your waste garbage cans are collected by our staff from the collection point on the day of collection and returned there after emptying.
    In the Aachen-Mitte district, this service is offered for residual waste garbage cans with a volume of 90, 120, 240, 770 and 1,100 liters. In the other districts, this option is only available for residual waste containers with a volume of 770 and 1,100 liters.
