How Recycling and Waste Sorting Work in Luxembourg
Luxembourg sorts household waste into several streams: a black bin for residual waste, a blue bin for paper and cardboard, a brown bin for organic and food waste, glass to bottle banks, and the Valorlux blue bag (sac bleu) for plastic, metal and beverage-carton packaging (PMC) collected on a calendar. Hazardous items go to SuperDrecksKëscht, and recycling centres take bulky waste, textiles and electronics. Rules and bin colours vary by commune.
