There is no need to sort out the individual packaging types. It all goes into the same green sack. If in doubt, check for the “Grüne Punkt – Green Dot” logo.

Don't put cardboard, paper, aluminium tins or glass into the sacks; these items go into the normal re-cycling containers.

The sacks are not collected by refuse collectors; you have to take them to the re-cycling centre yourself. Remember too, to rinse out your food packaging.
