The selective collection consists of sorting the waste according to their nature to give them a second life and promote recycling. There are four types of collection in Luxembourg :

  • The grey trash for residual waste
  • The brown trash for biodegradable waste
  • The blue trash for paper and cardboard
  • The green trash for glass

All these bins are collected weekly according to your street. To know the collection schedule at your place :
