Laundry
Like very commonly in Switzerland, the laundry-room is downstairs in the building and shared with the other tenants.
Take the yellow or red "keyplug" and bring it down to the basement
Turn to the right
Enter the laundry-room
If no one is washing, pull up
the yellow plastic lid
Turn the switch to "ON"
Once you have chosen a program,
wait for 30 seconds for the maschine to start
On the left side of the basement you will find two rooms to hang your clothes to dry.
If there is no name on the date and time you are there, it is free and you can wash.
Insert the "keyplug"
Put the clothes into the mashine and close the door.
If you do not close the door the power will not start!
After washing, put the switch back to "0" and take the "keyplug" back to your flat. PLEASE LET THE LAUNDRY-ROOM AS YOU FOUND IT!
Please pick them up as soon as they are dry
Recycling and waste disposal
Garbage Disposal
In Argau it is required to purchase official bin bags to dispose of your household trash. They can be purchased in all supermarkets (they are usually not out on the shelves so make sure to ask at the cashier's desk for it).
These bags are NOT for recyclables. Compost, PET bottles, glass, carton, paper, aluminium cans, batteries and other toxic waste are disposed of separately to household garbage.
Full bin bags are not picked up from the street. They must be placed in designated neighbourhood containers.
The closest container to you is infront of Eichstrasse 1.
Recycling
Glass and aluminium need to be separated and then deposited at local recycling points.
The closest recycling point to the flat is at: Züricherstrasse 89, 5432 Neuenhof (3 minutes walking fromt he flat).
Plastic PET bottles can be dropped off at the large containers in front or inside of supermarkets.
Cardboard and paper are picked up for free in front of your house every other week.

Compost can be put in the green container in front of the door. Please make sure not to put any non-compostable material in there.
