How should I dispose of broken metal items like knives in Germany?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 95 views

Broken metal items should generally be thrown into the Restmüll (the black trash can), which is for residual waste. Metal waste is processed in sorting facilities. Remember, the yellow bins are only for packaging waste.
