Which Bin Does It Go In?

Whatever can't be sorted: hygiene items, nappies, soiled and greasy paper, broken drinking glasses in small amounts, dust and sweepings.

Newspapers, magazines, flyers, cardboard boxes (flattened), office paper, envelopes, notebooks, egg cartons. Not wet, soiled or greasy paper, napkins, or the plastic-lined part of drink cartons.

One combined stream in Košice: plastic bottles and packaging, yoghurt pots and lids, drink cans, metal packaging, foil, and milk/juice cartons — rinsed enough not to smell and squashed flat. Not packaging from chemicals, oils or paint.

Non-returnable bottles and jars of any colour, drinking glasses, glass decorations — metal lids off and into yellow. Not mirrors, window or car glass, porcelain, ceramics, light bulbs, or chemical bottles.

Things that never belong in any street container: batteries, electronics, light bulbs, paint, chemicals, used cooking oil, tyres. Shops take back batteries, bulbs and electro; everything else goes to a zberný dvor.

Food scraps, peelings, coffee grounds, tea bags, eggshells, spoiled fruit and vegetables, small bones. Loose, or in a paper or certified compostable bag — never in an ordinary plastic bag. No liquids and no large bones.
