If you aren’t sure exactly what can and can’t go into the yellow bin or yellow bags for recycling, well here is the translation of the items that they have listed on the bags themselves.
For proper recycle bags, you can go to the town hall (Rathaus) or simply pick up some at the GK A&FRC. For English directions on how the entire trash system works, you can download the Geilenkirchen Trash Calendar and Information Booklet PDF.
Translation of info on bag:
Here only empty into disposable the packaging made of plastic, metal and composite.
This will include for example:
Shopping bags, bags, wrapping films, milk bags, cereal bags, etc.
