BSR-Kieztag

A BSR truck parks on a named square in your neighbourhood for five hours and takes bulky waste, electricals and textiles free, with a swap market beside it you are allowed to take things from.

Right for you if

  • You live nearby, you can carry it, and the date happens to suit.
  • It has to cost nothing.
  • You can get it there under your own steam.
  • You would rather it was used again than buried.
  • You want to turn up without booking.

Look elsewhere if

  • You have no way of getting it there.
  • It is business waste.
  • It is construction or demolition waste.
  • It is paint, solvent, gas bottles or anything else hazardous.
  • You need it outside the months it runs.

Something wrong here?

Why use it

It is the free route almost no Berlin guide mentions, and the only one that is free, near your door and lets you leave with something. Waste advisers are on site, and whatever is still good goes on to NochMall rather than into the truck. The format has one design rule worth respecting: come on foot or by bike, because BSR asks people not to arrive by car. Dates move at short notice, so check the live page rather than a printed list, and note that leaving anything before or after the five-hour window is an offence rather than an early drop-off.

Service area Not published
Run by Berliner Stadtreinigungsbetriebe (BSR), a municipal service

Where your things go

A named destination is worth more than a stated intention, and both are worth more than silence. This is the row to read before you book: if your item's row is empty, ask them on the phone and tell us what they say.

Not documented yet. This operator has not published what happens to each kind of item, and we have not been able to establish it from anywhere else. That is the gap, stated rather than hidden. If you ask them, tell us what they say.

Does it actually work

The part no company website tells you. Some of this comes from our checks, some from readers who used the service, and where nobody has told us yet, it says so.

    Nobody has told us how long they waited. Two reader reports would settle it.

What happens to it

  • Collected by the council
  • Passed on to someone who wants it
  • Put back into use

This describes the route the item takes, as the operator states it. We do not claim a recovery rate we have not seen evidence for.

What readers told us

Used them recently?

How long you waited, what they refused, whether anyone picked up the phone. Those are the three facts no website publishes and the ones the next reader needs.
