Entsorgungshöfe and ceramics in Bern.

⚖️

Entsorgungshöfe charge by weight

You are billed by weight, minimum CHF 2.00 per fraction. Take a card at the entrance, it is scanned on the ramp, pay at the cash machine and collect it at the exit. A lost card costs CHF 20.

🚗

Living outside the city

Residents outside the city pay CHF 5.05 extra per delivery. Bolligen, Köniz, Frauenkappelen, Ostermundigen and Meikirch are exempt.

Ceramics and plastic

Stoneware and ceramics go to the Entsorgungshöfe. Plastic containers go to the recycling points in shops.

⚠️

Check before you haul

Look at the tariff first, and never leave items next to the collection containers: you risk a fine.
