Under the slogan “Metal 4 Nature” we want to realize the topics waste avoidance and waste disposal together with you, to make sure, that the future WOAs can still take place on juicy, green fields.

We are appealing to your environmental awareness and want to motivate you to collect your waste on the Festival Site and to try to keep your waste volume as low as possible. Do it out of respect for the environment!
We need your support to achieve these goals!
Metal 4 Nature – I took my trash – just left my footprint & spirit!
Try to avoid waste as much as possible! Use reusable packages whenever possible and always keep in mind that the WOA is taking place at an agricultural area!

Metal 4 Nature – “Safe your holy land!“

There is a ban on GLASS BOTTLE on all sites at the WOA!

Instead of glass bottles we are providing fancy PET bottles for decanting your glass bottle at all supermarkets on the campgrounds. Of course the PET bottles are FOR FREE !

At the W:O:A Supermarkets you will get everything that the metal heart desires!

A list of articles can be found on the following supermarket plan

On the festival site you can donate WOA returnable cups to Viva Con Aguas Water Projects.

Instead of returning your cups at the food and drinking stands you can put them in one of the big collecting boxes.

Several Cup-Hunter teams are en route on the festival site, equipped with a box and marked with a Viva con Aqua flag, happy to collect your cups directly!

Viva con Agua e.V., founded in 2006, is a nonprofit organization that is campaign for a humanly access to clean drinking water. The organization is supporting several water projects worldwide by collecting donations.

Also in co-operation with Viva Con Agua we will of a still soda water at the festival. Everyone who doesn´t want to abandon on cool clear water, will get the possibility to afford the new Wacken Aqua at the W:O:A super markets. The water rises from the Godehard spring in Rosendahl is kept under constant purity checks by the Romeis Institute.

Because of the great feedback from last year’s WOA Trash Mobile we decided to have not one, but 4 WOA Trash Mobiles at this year’s Festival.
Up from Tuesday, 2th of August, on, these Trash Mobiles will drive around the Festival site from 9am to 1pm and again from 2pm to 6pm to collect your filled waste bags directly from you or from the side of the road if you’ve put them there earlier.

You can also get new waste bags from the Thrash Mobiles.
Please bear in mind: Collect your waste during the WOA and give it to the Thrash Mobiles!

We will again have 5 waste-stations near the sanitary-camps. Here you can give away your filled waste bags and get a nice “Metal 4 Nature”-sticker and a fancy give-away.

Opening hours of the waste-stations:
Waste-station at sanitary-campS3: From Tuesday, 02.80. till Saturday, 06.08.: 08:00h-16:00h

All other waste-stations: From Wednesday, 03.08. till Saturday. 06.08.: 08:00h-16:00h

Collect all your waste before you‘re departing! Give your waste bag to any waste-station! Help us to collect waste after the Party!
