Rapid antigen tests are not intended for recycling. They should be disposed of in the same garbage can as the usual household waste (grey garbage can). However, in case of a positive test result,
- the tests are to be put back in their original packaging (or in a special bag that may have been supplied with the test)
- then in a separate bag that is to be closed again immediately afterwards
- the bag and its contents are then disposed of in the normal household waste garbage can
