How should a container be filled?

Correct disposal also includes filling the container correctly.

It is essential to ensure that your waste is not heaped over the top edge of the container, but is level with the edge. Otherwise the container will be overfilled and the container price will have to be recalculated. Therefore, please observe the filling criteria.

In the case of gross overfilling, transportation is no longer possible in terms of traffic safety and the costs incurred in this case for an empty journey can be easily avoided. It is therefore essential to ensure that the container is filled correctly. If you have any questions about filling the container correctly, please contact our customer service. We will be happy to help.
