Laundry
Retrieve the flat key and laundry card from the keybox in your flat.
Proceed to the basement, which can be found on floor -1. When you reach the bottom of the stairs, you'll see a door directly in front of you. If the door is locked, you can unlock it with the flat key.
Once inside, head to the left and past the bike parking room.
Before using the machines, check the timetable on the left to ensure the laundry room is available. If time and date are free, write down your flat number to reserve the space.
Right above the washing machine, you'll find the card reader.
Choose either machine A for the washing machine or machine B for the dryer.
Insert your laundry card into the card reader and wait a few seconds until the message "estrarre carta" appears. Remove your card, and the machine or dryer light will turn on. PLEASE REMEMBER TO RETURN YOUR CARD TO THE READER ONCE YOU'RE DONE, TO RECEIVE THE REMAINING CREDIT BACK.
Waste disposal and recycling
The trash container is located in front of the building. Please only use the "Ascona garbage bags". To access the container, you can use the flat key.
Additionally, you can recycle your PET bottles at every supermarket. Glas and paper can be left in the flat.
