a link for "Verbringung von Abfällen": http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/consleg/main/1993/en_1993R02...
Stephen Sadie (asker) Jan 13, 2007:
sorry was just having lunch - this is two-sided, my text refers to both waste and recyclable items which are both "verbracht" to the respective containers
Nicole Schnell Jan 13, 2007:
Hi Stephen, welche Stoffe? If they are supposed to be recycled/reused, Erika would be right. If they are garbage-garbage, John would be correct. Do you have any context?

Sorry, don't have an online reference. Try googling for verbringen +transport. :-)

Exactly. Thanks, Axel.

It is just an idea. Because of Sammelbehälter.
Note from asker:
can you substantiate this? it certainly had not occured to me!
Peer comment(s):
disagree Ulrike Kraemer : Verbringen heißt nur, dass etwas irgendwohin gebracht wird, aber nicht unbedingt, dass es auch gelagert wird.//Man kann auch etwas in einem Sammelbehälter sammeln (z.B. Müll), um es anschließend zu entsorgen.//Klar, aber sammeln ist nicht gleich lagern.
9 mins
Das Wort Sammelbehälter weist darauf hin. Genau, aber erst sammeln!
agree Nicole Schnell : So sehe ich das auch, sonst hieße das nämlich "in die Sammelbehälter bringen", hier heißt es aber "verbringen", d.h. aufbewahren.
26 mins
danke, Nicole

dispose of

if they're talking about the "Stoffe" as waste matter.

Stephen, if there are two different sorts of "Stoffe", then try sorted into the respective bins or whatever they are
Note from asker:
indeed they are, may well work in this context

disagree Axel Seyler (X) : verbringen means simply bring to. Disposal is not part of the concept.

Had you read my first comment you should have realised that I had fully understood that this only applied if the "Stoffe" were wastes. We can all translate the word literally, but I feel broader thinking is necessary here.

sorted

With the additional comment about there being two different types of substance, I think "sorted into" could work here.
Peer comment(s):
agree Nicole Schnell : Quite diplomatic! I like it.

agree Armorel Young : Just sort - "the staff sort the Stoffe ..." - but if you use this verb you can get away without a separate translation of "getrennt"
13 mins
Yes, that's what I meant - they sort the "Stoffe" into the respective bins
agree Susan Zimmer : with Armorel....

agree Lori Dendy-Molz

disagree Axel Seyler (X) : Verbringen means to bring to. Sorting is not part of the meaning. That is also clear from the context: Sie verbringen diese Stoffe getrennt in die verschiedenen Behälter. That means, of course, they have already been sorted before the verbringen occurs.
