<h2>Recycling</h2>
<h3>Glass and glass bottles</h3>
<p>At the back of the campsite, behind the potato huts, on the side-road,
are two glass collecting containers: one for white, clear glass and the other for coloured glass.
These are for the odd-shaped bottles, not the Gosser bottles (and similar) which we give back to the shop
and get a deposit back on them.
<p>We generally leave the odd bottles (port in recent years, also schnapps) beside the old potto hut until the pile gets
in the way and then someone takes the lot to the glass containers about 20m away.

"Following consultations with the respective municipal governments,
Vienna, Lower Austria, <b>Salzburg</b>, and Carinthia focus on the separate collection
of plastic bottles (in some regions together with metal packaging), as plastic bottles
can be sent for recycling. Other types of light-weight packaging are collected
together with municipal solid waste"</em>, i.e. into the black bin bag.

<p>There is a bin bag for aluminium and steel food and drink cans between the new and old potato huts.
We also put the bottle caps from Gosser beer in there.
<h3>Batteries</h3>
<p>There is a cardboard collection box for old batteries by the tills of most supermarkets.
There is certainly a collection point in the big Unimarkt in Bad Aussee.
<h3>"Biom&uuml;ll" - food waste</h3>
<p>There is a bin bag for food waste - putrescible waste - between the new and old potato huts.
This goes to composting or digestion, so no non-food items should go in here.
