Residual waste is usually disposed of in the fresh air in the designated bin. But what to do with the yellow bags until they are picked up? Does the landlord have to provide you as a tenant with special rooms?

This is how you, as a tenant, store your yellow bags correctly

  • Your landlord is generally NOT obliged to provide you with rooms in which you can store your yellow bags. If you have a good relationship with your landlord, you can still often find a solution.
  • Conversely, this means that you have to find a suitable room. Garages are very suitable. Basement rooms that you use privately can also be used. However, you should take precautions here so that the bags do not emit any unpleasant odors for other tenants.
  • You are not allowed to store the bags for weeks on public roads or private places that do not belong to you. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that they have a clearly negative impact on the townscape, and on the other hand, the thin sacks are also a plaything of the weather here. In addition, they are regularly shredded by animals, so that the collected packaging can be spread over the whole street.

This will prevent problems with the storage of your yellow bags

  • A problem that is often lamented is the unpleasant odor that arises during prolonged storage. However, you can counteract this quite easily. For this it is only necessary to remove leftovers from the packaging material to be disposed of.
  • You can avoid nasty surprises, especially when storing it in basement rooms. Mice and rats have a very fine sense of smell. Once these have found their way into your basement, you don't just have to expect extinguishers in the bags. In addition, these small rodents also like to damage cables of stored electronic devices and much more.
