New waste plan: Blue container disappears from Vorarlberg in 2025

New waste plan: Blue container disappears from Vorarlberg in 2025

With the upcoming turn of the year, the waste disposal in Bludenz is made a fundamental change. On January 1, 2025, the "blue bin", which was previously intended for the collection of metal packaging, will be removed at the collection points. Instead, the citizens will have to dispose of both plastic and metal packaging in the yellow sack in the future.

This change takes place as part of a new environmental approach that introduces the joint collection of plastic and metal packaging throughout Austria. The aim of this measure is to reduce the amount of waste and at the same time increase the recycling rate. Despite the introduction of a disposal deposit for beverage packaging from 2025, those responsible expect the new regulation to lead to an increase in the collected amounts to ensure proper disposal.

Details for new waste disposal

The obligation to collect plastic and metal packaging comes into force in most federal states, including Vorarlberg, on January 1, 2025. It is important to note that certain objects, including old metal, pans and other metal parts, may not be disposed of in the yellow sack. Rather, these must be brought to an waste collection center (ASZ). The introduction of a deposit of 25 cents on one -way beverage bottles and cans will be a gratifying side effect, which is intended to increase the incentive to return to sales outlets.

The collection will continue to include plastic packaging, including yoghurt cups and beverage cartons. There are new metal packaging, such as cans and crown corks. This change was introduced in some federal states in 2023 and shows the government's efforts to protect the environment and offer the citizens to offer more sustainable disposal options.

For everyone who needs more information, the website environmentalv.at and the local waste app are available. The municipalities also offer support and information on the new pick -up times and collect suggestions to improve the system. These changes are part of a larger strategy to improve waste management and to promote recycling in the region and beyond. If you are looking for the details about the exact disposal times, you can also find out more from your communities.

Overall, this adaptation aims to increase the recycling quota in Bludenz and to relieve the environment sustainably. With a clear focus on better recycling practices, the authorities ensure that Bludenz is on the right path to a more responsible waste management. The coming months should be an opportunity for citizens to familiarize themselves with the new regulations and to actively contribute to improvement.
