I found myself with a bunch of "bulky waste" that had collected in the cellar over a few years, and I felt there was too much just to attach stickers and leave it outside so I checked the local "Entsorgungs Kalendar" which basically says to go to "Limeco".
After checking what's allowed (google translated :))
Treated fence; treated wooden palisade; Wooden garden furniture wooden frame; Wooden box; Wooden sleds; Wood furniture; Wooden pallet; Insulation mats; Plastic chairs; Cork mats; Slatted; Mattresses; Furniture; Upholstered chair; Plastic chairs; Carpets; Wooden sled; Ski; Ski boots; Snowboard; Surfboard; Skirting of wood; Carpet; Treated chipboard; Doors of wood; Living wall (no glass ), etc.
I drove there today, and was weighed at the entrance and given a numbered card - then told what gates to use. We chucked the items and drove out, where you are weighed again and charged at a disposal rate of 0.27 CHF per kilo, with a minimum of 30 CHF.
Amazing what the the place does - it's basically a power station and generates electricity for 19,000 homes and heating for 2,500, all from the waste products it recycles.
Word of warning though, don't bring kids - our car was surrounded by rubbish trucks coming and going and the drop into the rubbish pits was at least 20 feet :eek:
