Recycling 2

So what happens to the stuff you collect in your house?
The household garbage is collected once a week. For compost, there is a huge bin outside and is taken away probably in every two weeks. For carton and for paper there are separate ones obviously.
As for the rest and for big piece of cartons or paper or everything else, there are places called ökihof, the dumping places for (almost) anything that collected separately. It's free to take things there although you have to pay for dumping plastic.
It's pretty convenient to get rid of everything at once although the opening hours are ridiculous as it's only open from the mornings till 5 pm and on Sat until 12.30, which means if you work you can only go on Sat and if you are out of town you have to wait another week. It's almost true for all the shops though in Switzerland so no surprise here. Scheduling and planning is the key and once you set it up everything goes smoothly.
Besides that you can also bring your stuff to the supermarket where you can find recycling points.

Obviously it's not an option if you have a ton of garbage left from the moving in or renovation or a couple of weeks piled up paper and plastic but can be a solution for a quick clean up.
