Sorting
Mixed waste is collected from properties where biowaste does not have to be sorted separately according to regulations and where it is not composted. In mixed waste, dry waste and biowaste are collected in the same bag. When biowaste is composted or collected in a separate container, the remaining waste is called dry waste.
Pack the waste to avoid getting the container dirty. Pack glass and dusty waste particularly well.
