Abstract: A device for collecting waste, in particular waste packing glass. At least one intake container and one collecting container is provided. The intake container has a lifting device for raising the intake container above the collecting container. The intake container has a bottom part and bottomless housing which is movable relative to the bottom part so that an open and closed position can be defined. In the closed position, a lower edge of the housing part lies against the bottom forming a seal and in the open position the lower edge of the housing is situated at a distance from the bottom part allowing discharge of the contents. The intake and collecting container can be aligned prior to discharge, thereby assuring error-free emptying of the intake container.
