Service description
"Wild garbage" refers to waste that is illegally deposited in the open countryside, in forests or along streams, as well as in public places outside of the designated waste containers.
This can be, for example, household and bulky waste, construction waste, construction site waste, car wrecks, but also excess excavated soil (loose and solid rock excavated or removed during construction work). It is also "wild garbage" if the waste has been covered with soil.
Depositing "wild garbage" is prohibited and constitutes an administrative offense. It may be subject to a fine.
If the originator of the "wild garbage" can be identified, he will be charged for the disposal costs incurred.
