Waste calendar 2026: Important dates and changes for Christmas!

In the next few days, households in the Main-Spessart district can look forward to a new waste calendar. By the end of this week, the 2026 calendar will be delivered to all mailboxes to inform residents about important collection dates, pollutant collections and valuable information on waste prevention, sorting and disposal. Distribution has already begun in Arnstein and Aura main-spessart.de reported.

The calendars are not only helpful, but also important support for anyone who wants to know exactly when they can properly dispose of their waste. If someone in the household does not receive a calendar, they can simply email it to abfallberatung@lramsp.de or by calling 09353 / 793-1777.

Christmas postponements

This year there is an important change in collection dates due to the upcoming Christmas period. The emptying of the residual and organic waste containers will be postponed as follows:

• Montag, 22.12.2025, wird vorgeholt am Samstag, 20.12.2025
• Dienstag, 23.12.2025, wird vorgeholt am Montag, 22.12.2025
• Mittwoch, 24.12.2025, wird vorgeholt am Dienstag, 23.12.2025
• Donnerstag, 25.12.2025, wird vorgeholt am Mittwoch, 24.12.2025
• Freitag, 26.12.2025, wird nachgeholt am Samstag, 27.12.2025

These changes have been introduced to ensure all waste is collected on time and to make the holidays less stressful.

Digital services and app

There is good news for technology fans: the “Waste MSP” app ensures that you never miss a collection date. It provides reminders and news about waste management. In addition, everyone can create and print out their individual collection plan via the district's website. This not only makes it easier, but also helps to deal with waste sustainably, which is entirely in line with the nationwide waste prevention program, which has existed since 2013 and is continually being developed. The digital offer from friesland.de also offers an online calendar and information on the waste guide for those who prefer it in writing.

Waste management in transition

But why is this all so important? Waste management in Germany has changed significantly over the years Federal Environment Agency illuminated. Originally it was mainly about waste disposal, today we focus on circular economy, which treats generated waste as a valuable resource. There are two main goals: conserving natural resources and improving environmental and climate protection. Each of us should integrate this awareness into our everyday lives.

So, let's get to it! With the new waste calendar in your hands and digital support on your smartphone, nothing stands in the way of environmentally conscious disposal. And don't forget: every kilo that we don't have to throw away protects the environment!
