Mobile pollutant pollutants in Potsdam: Where and when you can hand in hazardous waste!

September has some important dates in store for the people of Cologne that revolve around the environmentally friendly disposal of pollutants. On Friday, September 12th, the usual pollutant mobile will stop at various locations again to collect household chemicals and other environmentally harmful waste. It is the perfect opportunity to safely dispose of old spray cans, leftover paint and even energy-saving lamps and thus make a contribution to environmental protection.

Another highlight will take place on Saturday, September 19th.

The city appeals not to store harmful waste for a long time, but rather to hand it over to the pollutant mobile as soon as possible SWP Potsdam recommends.

What can be submitted?

The delivery of normal household quantities of pollutants is even free of charge. Anyone who still has old small electrical appliances, such as toasters or smartphones, can also hand them in without any fees. This good news comes from the pollutant mobile, which regularly travels in Cologne and all other cities to professionally recycle polluted waste Pollutant Mobile24 explained.

It is particularly important that the harmful substances remain in their original packaging. Tipping over can cause dangerous chemical reactions. In addition to the waste mentioned, medicines, batteries, oils and wood preservatives can also be handed in. But where exactly do these substances that are so dangerous end up? They are properly recycled or disposed of, which prevents them from creating new burdens on nature.

Focus on correct disposal

“Get rid of that stuff!” is the motto in September: Dispose of everything that doesn't belong in the household waste, such as mercury thermometers or old cleaning products. The disposal of harmful substances is usually free of charge for consumers. However, it is important not to dispose of hazardous waste such as building materials or even explosive substances. The pollutant mobile is exclusively for households, not for businesses. To protect the environment, everyone should take the opportunity to free themselves from these dangers.
