Just recently, the city of Oberursel distributed new Altkleidercontainer (recycle container for clothing). The official term is actually Wertstoffsammelbehälter für Altkleider, but most Germans don’t use this term.

The new design is very pretty, showcasing an image of a fountain in Oberursel’s Altstadt. Oberursel is the Brunnenstadt (city of fountains) with close to 50 fountains spread out over the town.

These containers got a new design to differentiate them from the commercial ones. In some spots, you still see the official Red Cross containers. If you deposit your recycled clothing in one of these containers, it will go to a good cause. All others are of commercial use.
