Holiday decorations are being collected, specifically Christmas trees.
In the heart of winter, the city of Düsseldorf is gearing up for its annual Christmas tree collection. The municipal waste management company has outlined a series of guidelines to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
The collection of used trees commences at 6 AM and continues until late evening on the respective day. Each Düsseldorf district has its own unique collection date, making the process district-specific.
To facilitate easy collection, the company requests that trees be placed visibly at the roadside. However, it's important to note that trees should not be packed in plastic bags. Larger trees should be shortened before being collected, with a maximum length of two meters.
For the sake of pedestrian safety and accessibility, trees should not be placed for collection before the designated date. Placing trees before the designated date is not allowed in Düsseldorf.
Decorations such as tinsel, straw stars, balls, and other adornments should be removed from trees before collection. These decorations can cause obstructions during the collection process.
The collection of used trees takes place on the specified date in the respective Düsseldorf district. The names of the districts where this waste collection is conducted are: Stadtmitte (Altstadt, Carlstadt, Pempelfort, Derendorf, Golzheim), Flingern/Düsseltal (Flingern-Nord, Flingern-Süd, Düsseltal), Bilk (Bilk, Oberbilk, Unterbilk, Friedrichstadt, Hafen, Hamm, Volmerswerth, Flehe), Linksrheinisch (Oberkassel, Heerdt, Lörick, Niederkassel), Nord (Stockum, Lohausen, Kaiserswerth, Wittlaer, Kalkum, Angermund), Rath (Lichtenbroich, Unterrath, Mörsenbroich), Gerresheim (Grafenberg, Ludenberg, Hubbelrath, Knittkuhl), Eller (Lierenfeld, Vennhausen, Unterbach), Benrath (Wersten, Holthausen, Reisholz, Urdenbach, Hassels, Itter, Himmelgeist), Garath, Hellerhof (Garath, Hellerhof). The exact starting dates for Christmas tree waste collection in each district are not provided in the available information.
As the holiday season concludes, residents are encouraged to participate in this important waste management process. By following these guidelines, we can ensure a clean and orderly city as we welcome the New Year.
