The leaf bin is a service provided by the ESB to help you dispose of larger quantities of leaves. The leaf bin is a seasonal bin and is only issued and emptied in the autumn of each year.

The leaf bin is a seasonal bin for the months of October, November and December. The ESB charges 24 euros for this period. We charge 10 euros each way for transporting the bin.
What can be put in the leaf bin?
The leaf bin is only for leaves. Please make sure that no waste such as cigarette butts, plastic waste or dog excrement ends up in the leaf bin. The contents of the leaf bin are composted.
When is the leaf bin emptied?
Please leave the leaf bin at the street by 6 a.m. on the day the organic waste bin is emptied. You can find out when the bin will be emptied on your street in the waste navi and in the ESB app(iOS and Android).
How do I get a leaf bin?
We will be handing out the leaf bins at the recycling centre on Schaffeldstraße from the end of September. The date of the distribution will be announced in the media. You can simply pick up the leaf bin, no registration is necessary. From the beginning of January, the bin should be returned cleaned. If you are unable to transport the bin yourself, we will take care of the transport for you. We charge 10 euros each for delivery and collection.
In order to save you the transport, there is also the possibility that you house the leaf bins until the next season. If you have space for the bin, this will save you a lot of driving. We will send you a season sticker in late summer before the next season, which you should stick on the bin before the first emptying.
