Compost bin placement rules

Germany · Auxiliary · usually lightweight

Keep a compost bin well away from any drinking-water well and place it so odour and runoff do not reach the neighbour; the exact boundary distance is set by state neighbour law and the municipality — verify locally.

Placement rules

Compost is useful but should not threaten drinking-water sources or neighbour comfort.

Sanitary zone

Sanitary protection distances to wells, drinking water and dwellings.

Compost distance

Important limitation

The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
