Waste Separation
Waste separation made clear for your guests, right inside GASTiNFO.EU
General waste, yellow bags, organic bins or the recycling center - waste separation rules differ from country to country and region to region, and are often confusing for guests. With the "Waste Separation" widget from GASTiNFO.EU, you explain every waste type with the matching bin color and disposal method right inside your digital guest directory - understandable at a glance, even without a shared language.
How the Waste Separation widget works
Setting it up as a host takes only a few minutes:
Pick your waste types
From general waste to paper, plastic and glass to electronic waste and batteries - you only fill in the categories relevant to your property.
Set color and disposal method
For each waste type, you pick the matching bin color and the disposal method - bin, bag, container or recycling center.
Add extra notes
Use the free-text field for specifics, such as which weekday the bags need to be put out.
Set up once, guests see every waste type listed clearly with a colored icon - automatically in their own language.
What it looks like for your guests
The widget is built directly into the property's digital guest directory. Guests open GASTiNFO.EU via the QR code in the property, or via the link, and select "Waste Separation".
Guests recognize the right bin instantly by its colored icon - no language barrier, no hunting for a notice on the fridge.
Why is this widget interesting for you as a host?
Wrongly sorted waste costs time, nerves and sometimes fines. Clear, visual cues significantly reduce sorting mistakes - without you having to explain everything out loud at every check-in.

Especially useful before arrival
GASTiNFO.EU isn't only accessible via a QR code in the property. You can also send the personal link to your guest directory ahead of arrival, for example by WhatsApp or another channel - so guests already know how waste separation works at your place:
- →Where's the general waste bin?
- →When does the yellow bag go out?
- →Where's the nearest recycling center?
- →How do I get to the property?
Which properties is the widget suited for?
The widget suits any property with its own waste separation rules, especially when guests travel from abroad:
- →Vacation rentals and holiday homes
- →Apartments and guesthouses
- →Campsites with several collection points
- →Properties hosting international guests
The strength of a digital guest directory isn't any single big feature - it's the many small pieces of information that make a stay run more smoothly. The Waste Separation widget is a good example: set color and disposal method → guests see it instantly and visually clear → fewer sorting mistakes and questions.
