Vienna MA48 reminds: Christmas can also be environmentally friendly

To avoid unnecessary waste, the city of Vienna is once again relying on its reusable 48er gift bags this year. The fabric bags are available year-round at the 48er-Tandler and are intended to offer a simple alternative to conventional wrapping paper. They are available in three sizes for 4, 6, and 8 euros.
Climate Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky emphasizes that the bags contribute to the circular economy and make wrapping easier.

Secondhand as a Sustainable Gift Option

Those who want to avoid new goods will find a wide range of secondhand items at the 48er-Tandler – from furniture and clothing to games and books. Until December 20, there is the opportunity to buy affordable Christmas gifts and decorations there. Special unique pieces can also be found from time to time.

Vouchers for the Vienna 48er-Tandler

The Tandler is considered a popular destination for vintage fans and bargain hunters. As a gift idea, the city of Vienna also offers 48er-Tandler vouchers worth 5 euros, which are available directly on site.

Regifting Instead of Throwing Away

If you receive unsuitable or duplicate Christmas gifts, you can drop them off at all Vienna waste collection points. Usable items are collected in the 48er-Tandler boxes. The goods are then resold at affordable prices in the Tandler or donated to charitable organizations.

Why Waste Separation is Important

The MA48 also reminds us that residual waste is not sorted afterwards. Therefore, recyclable materials such as plastic or metal packaging should definitely be collected separately so that they can be recycled.

Opening Hours of the 48er-Tandler During the Holidays

The 48er-Tandler at the Margareten and Donaustadt locations is open until December 20th inclusive. It will be closed from December 22nd to January 6th. Operations will resume as usual from January 7th.
Opening hours: Wednesday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM.
