# Notification of irregularities under waste legislation

## Summary

If you notice that waste (including scrap motor vehicles) is being handled, stored or deposited in an unauthorised manner, please report this to the environmental authority.
## Description

If waste is not disposed of properly via the waste bin, the recycling collection or the recycling centre, but is disposed of illegally (e.g. in the "great outdoors") or is stored or deposited on properties without authorisation, this can pose a danger to the general public.

Anyone who intentionally or negligently treats or disposes of waste illegally is committing an administrative offence under Section 69 (1) No. 2 KrWG and can be fined up to 100,000 euros.

The private incineration of waste is also prohibited. The incineration ban also applies to garden waste such as tree and shrub cuttings or leaves in the urban area.
