Waste disposal in Basel
When are refuse, green waste or paper collected at your address? Enter it and we’ll find your zone and the next dates.
Basel separates waste rigorously, and the rules are stricter than in many neighbouring countries: household waste goes in the chargeable Bebbi-Sagg, everything else is collected separately. Paper and cardboard are picked up kerbside; glass, metal, textiles and green waste belong at the collection points.
Newcomers usually underestimate two things: refuse may only go in the official chargeable sack — other bags are left standing and can be fined — and collection days differ from street to street. This page shows both: your dates by address and the nearest collection point.
