Commercial waste

Companies that deposit waste at the Bornholm recycling centres will be billed per visit to the centre, rather than the previous fixed annual fee. This is to ensure a more cost-accurate billing, so that companies with many visits and large amounts of waste pay more than companies with few visits and smaller quantities of waste.

Conveniently, a licence plate scanner will register the commercial vehicles upon entry.  

ATTENTION! Commercial vehicles (licence plates) registered in the scheme in 2025 will be automatically transferred to the new commercial scheme in 2026. Therefore, you only need to take action if there are changes to your registered commercial vehicles or you have new ones.

Note! Payment is charged when entering the recycling centre, regardless of the amount of waste.

It is important to emphasise that the change does not mean increased earnings for BOFA - only a redistribution of existing revenue.

The change was adopted by the municipal council on Bornholm in autumn 2024. Price rates adopted by the municipal council October 2025.

In accordance with Executive Order no. 1479 of 12 December 2007 on notification and documentation in connection with the moving of soil, and Bornholm Regional Municipality's regulations for soil, soil must be moved according to the following guidelines:

Moving soil
As a general rule, notification must be made no later than 4 weeks before the soil is to be moved.
The notification is made at www.jordweb.dk

EarthWeb
Bornholm Regional Municipality's Technical and Environmental Services recommends that earth movers sign up for JordWeb. JordWeb is an electronic system that makes it easy to manage the entire case process. You can sign up for the system at www.jordweb.dk.

Registration and instructions on how to use the system can be found on the website under the "Quick-guide" menu and there is also a demonstration of the system.

Any questions can be directed to Technology and Environment:
Jordforurening@brk.dk 

Jordan analyses
The notification must be accompanied by soil analyses. The following requirements apply:

• Disposal as slightly contaminated soil: 1 analysis per 120 tonnes.
• Use/disposal as clean soil: 1 analysis per 30 tonnes.

Upon arrival at BOFA
When delivering to BOFA, you must bring:

• A copy of the notification form or a printout from JordWeb.
• Soil analyses, if applicable.

Earth to BOFA
Below you will find an overview of the most common soil classes that are referred to BOFA. For a more detailed review of which soil classes require notification, please refer to Bornholms Regionskommunes Home page.

Clean soil
Defined as:

• Soil excavated in areas where no actual contamination has occurred.
• Soil that is not excavated in road areas.
• Soil that is not excavated on a registered/mapped contaminated site.
• Soil that does not originate from areas covered by Bornholm Regional Municipality's area classification.

This type of soil can be transported directly to BOFA, either to Almegårdsvej 8 in Rønne or to one of BOFA's landfill areas, as has previously been the practice.

Slightly contaminated soil
Slightly contaminated soil is the starting point:

• Soil excavated within road areas.
• Soil excavated in the classified areas.
• Soil originating from e.g. registered contaminated sites (mapped areas).

Before transport to BOFA, the soil removal must be notified as described at the top of the page. The notification form and any soil samples must be brought with you upon delivery.

Soil from mapped areas
When moving soil from mapped areas and contaminated soil, in addition to slightly contaminated soil, one soil sample must be taken per 30 tonnes. In addition, an identification of any hot spots must be carried out.

The same requirements for analyses apply if contaminated soil is found that exceeds the level for slightly contaminated soil, but where the area has not been mapped. However, the municipality can reduce the number of samples if the municipality has approved a soil management plan prior to the notification.

Before transport to BOFA, the soil removal must be notified as described at the top of the page. The notification form and any soil samples must be brought with you upon delivery.

Emergency excavations
Emergency excavations are excavations and relocation of soil that, due to a sudden situation, cannot await prior notification and approval.

This soil can be moved immediately to a temporary location
