OffOff--Post Trash Disposal and Recycling Post Trash Disposal and Recycling
By Helmut Bueller, USAG Bavaria SORT Coordina-
tor, Operations and Maintenance Division.
Community members living on the econ-
omy to include military, civilians and family
members must comply with host nation
law and dispose of their household waste
including the recyclable material through
the municipal disposal system. Transpor-
tation and disposal of garbage or recy-
clables on post is prohibited.
DOD personnel living off post receive
compensation for their household waste
disposal through living quarters or over-
seas housing allowance. At Government
Rental Housing or Leased Housing the
waste disposal fees are included in the
rental cost paid by the garrison. If off-post
generated refuse or recyclables are dis-
posed of at on-post dumpsters the United
States effectively pays twice for every item
of household waste.
Exceptions are only for items donated
at the Freecycle center building 441.
Serviceable or useable household items
are accepted in the yellow walk-in con-
tainer, labeled as “Freecycle Bin” next to
building 441. This bin can be used 24/7.
Donated items can be picked up free of
charge on Tuesdays 1000 – 1400 hrs and
on each first Saturday of the month from
1000 – 1400 hrs. The Freecycle Center is
designed to divert serviceable or use-
able items from household waste enter-
ing the solid waste stream and return them
to use.
Recycling rules in Germany are different
depending on where you live.
Even in our area the counties have differ-
ent rules that have to be followed. Infor-
mation on the individual recycling rules
and the pick-up dates are published as
information material available at the Self
Help Store (building 394), the DPW SORT
office (building 329, room 39) or at the
Housing Office (building 244, room 114).
