After New Year: rubbish collection postponed by one day

On New Year's Day, work also stops for waste collection. This means that emptying is postponed by one day after the public holiday.

This means that waste bins that are usually emptied on Wednesdays will be collected on Thursdays during the New Year week. This regulation affects the yellow bins in areas M to O and the paper bins in areas C to E as well as the organic waste bins in districts 3 and 4.

Waste bins must be ready for emptying by 6 a.m. on the collection day.

All collection dates can be found in both the 2025 waste calendar and the waste navigation system at www.bocholt.de/abfall-navi. The waste navigation system offers personalised data for the respective street. With the free "Abfall App ESB", dates are available on mobile devices, including a practical reminder function.
