Sperrmüll (illegal) - Entsorgung
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Sperrmüll (bulky waste) usually refers to bulky household items. For example furniture, carpets and mattresses. The disposal of (illegal) bulky waste on public street land is handled by the BSR (Berliner Stadtreinigung, Berlin's public sanitation company); on green spaces, the Straßen- und Grünflächenämter (street and green space offices) are responsible; on undeveloped private land, the Umwelt- und Naturschutzämter (environmental and nature conservation offices); and on developed private land, the Wohnungsaufsichtsämter (housing inspection offices) of the Bezirke (districts). Which district office is responsible (Zuständigkeit) depends on where the waste is deposited. The Zentrale Anlauf- und Beratungsstelle (central contact and advice point) of the Ordnungsamt (public order office) accepts reports of this kind.
