Plastic-free Biotons regulation introduced in St. Ingbert for improved compost quality
As of May 1, 2025, St. Ingbert's residents will find stricter regulations for filling biowaste bins, aiming to produce high-quality, pollutant-free compost. The waste management operation St. Ingbert (ABBS) has recommended collecting biowaste in newspaper or paper bags, and lining the bottom of the bin with newspaper to avoid odors and facilitate cleaning.
The new rules are part of a nationwide effort to improve biowaste quality. Allowed items in the biowaste bins of St. Ingbert include food scraps, fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, tea bags, garden waste like leaves and grass clippings. However, certain items are explicitly prohibited, such as plastics, metals, glass, cooked meat, dairy products, and any non-biodegradable materials.
Plastic bags, even those labeled "biodegradable," are not allowed for biowaste disposal. Other prohibited items include packaging of any kind, diapers, hygiene products, cat litter, glass, metal, stones, ceramics, ash, cigarette butts, household waste, clothing, leather, dead animals, and liquid waste.
The city administration appeals to all residents to help maintain a clean city and a healthy environment. Repeated violations may result in a fine. For questions or concerns, residents can contact ABBS at [email protected].
Citizens have the choice to remove contaminants themselves or register the bin as a residual waste bin for the next collection (chargeable). It's important to note that bins filled incorrectly will not be emptied, and a note will be left behind.
The goal of these new regulations is to consistently remove contaminants like plastic, producing a clean natural product free from microplastics. The city administration encourages all citizens to participate in the new rules to contribute to a greener St. Ingbert. Regular inspections of biowaste bins are announced by the city, ensuring compliance with the new regulations.
The city administration urges all residents to take part in this initiative, not only for a cleaner city but also for a healthier environment. Together, we can make a difference.
