Useful information

Only residents of Luxembourg City and the municipality of Strassen may use the Resource Centre (formerly: "Recycling Centre"), which provides its services free of charge. For information for businesses, please consult the "Working" pages of this site.

The Service Hygiène (Sanitation Department) wishes to remind you that businesses can only access the Recycling Centre from Tuesday to Friday inclusive. Mondays and Saturdays are reserved for private individuals.

Only clean, sorted waste can be recycled. All waste must therefore be sorted in advance and separated, as far as possible, from non-recyclable waste. Items to be recycled must be separated into:

  • recyclable material, sorted by waste type; and
  • hazardous substances for disposal by SuperDrecksKëscht.

The City's Resource Centre accepts small quantities of bulky waste (under 1 m³ in volume).

  • As parking is limited, the transportation of waste materials by trailer, van, lorry, tow truck or any similar vehicle is only authorised if parking spaces are available. If there are no free parking spaces, access may be denied.
  • Any non-recyclable waste brought to the Resource Centre must be removed immediately.

An access card is required to enter the Resource Centre. Residents of Luxembourg City and the municipality of Strassen are eligible for an access card, provided they are 18 or over. To request your card, you must complete a form that is available on site, present a piece of ID and provide your social security card number. You will be issued your own personal card immediately.
