Give away and dispose of things properly in Berlin
Where should it go? Passing something on means others keep using it – at drop-off points and clothing banks. Disposing of it means the material is recycled – at recycling centres, hazardous waste collection and take-back in shops. Both routes will appear here, each with opening times and what is not accepted.
