As in the past, free paper leaf bags will be distributed to all residents who are obliged to remove leaves from their properties under the street cleaning regulations.
Ab dem 6. Oktober 2026 werden die Laubsäcke an folgenden Stellen ausgegeben:
- Town hall of the municipality of Rüdersdorf near Berlin, citizens' office;
- Post office in the Hennickendorf district;
- Petrol station in the Herzfelde district;
- Lichtenow parish office (first and third Tuesday of the month from 5-6 pm).
Über die Laubsäcke der Gemeinde darf nur das Laub der Straßenbäume entsorgt werden. Dabei dürfen die Laubsäcke nicht schwerer als 20 kg sein. Die Abholung der Laubsäcke erfolgt in allen Ortsteilen ab dem 13. Oktober 2026, jeweils dienstags. Eine telefonische Vorankündigung ist nicht notwendig. Die Laubsäcke sind am Entsorgungstag bis 6 Uhr vor dem Grundstück bereitzustellen.
And where do I put the leaves and garden waste from my property?
Leaves and other garden waste that accumulate on private property must be disposed of in the disposal system organised by the district, unless you can compost it yourself. Please use your green bin or the leaf bags from the Märkisch-Oderland waste disposal company. You can also find further information at: www.entsorgungsbetrieb-mol.de
It is not permitted to dispose of leaves and garden waste from your own property on public roads or areas. Of course, it is also not permitted to place garden waste on unpaved roads in order to level out any unevenness. These areas will turn into mud after the next rainfall at the latest. This form of disposal is illegal and constitutes an offence that can be punished with a fine. Furthermore, this "free disposal" is an additional burden on the municipality's budget.
