Since 1 January 2026, used textile containers have no longer been available at 112 recycling islands in the city of Chemnitz. The City of Chemnitz can only offer used textile containers at individual locations.
The reason for this is that the advertised application procedure for the collection of used textiles via the official gazette, tender portal and the City of Chemnitz website failed to attract any official applications. The lottery procedure scheduled for 13 January 2026 was therefore cancelled.
Citizens are therefore asked to hand in used textiles directly at the recycling centres of the City of Chemnitz's waste disposal and municipal cleaning company (ASR):
Recycling centres:
- Blankenburgstraße 62, 09114 Chemnitz
- Weißer Weg, 09131 Chemnitz
- Jägerschlößchenstraße 15 a, 09125 Chemnitz
- Street Usti nad Labem 30, 09119 Chemnitz
- Kalkstraße 47, 09116 Chemnitz
Opening hours:
- Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Wednesday: 10 am to 7 pm
- Saturday: 7 am to 3 pm

The City of Chemnitz asks for your understanding for the restrictions and is working on finding a permanent solution for the collection of used textiles.
