We have collected the most frequently asked questions here. Click and see the answer.

At the bottom of the page, we have a direct email to BOFA's waste experts if you can't find the answer on the page.

Frequently asked questions

  • What happens to waste oil delivered in a tanker

    Collected at the hazardous waste transfer station in Rønne and then sent to Avista Oilwhich cleans/refines the oil and reuses it for new oil products.

  • What happens with Slam

    Received via BOFAs weight in Rønne and is subsequently deposited at the landfill in Rønne. The liquid part runs through the "landfill pile" and is then "captured" together with rainwater etc. (called leachate). The leachate is sent for treatment at a wastewater treatment plant.

  • What's happening with Sanitary & Porcelain

    Collected at recycling centres and stored. The waste is then sent to Norrecco in Copenhagen, where it is reused in e.g. large concrete "Lego" bricks for cubicle partitioning.

  • What happens with Residual waste (households)

    Collected at households and then utilised in BOFAs energy plant and exchanged via RVV to district heating in Rønne.

  • What happens to Rest after sorting (large)

  • What happens with printer cartridges

    The fraction is covered by producer responsibility legislation. BOFA is therefore only responsible for the collection and short-term storage of the fraction. The producer, or company (Toner recycling) hired by the manufacturer is responsible for the reuse, recycling, recovery or disposal of the fraction after collection/storage.

  • What happens with Plastic films

    As of 1 October, the fraction is covered by producer responsibility legislation. BOFA is then only responsible for the collection and packaging of the fraction. The producer, or a company hired by the producer, is responsible for ensuring that the fraction is recycled or reused after collection/balling.

  • What happens to PCB-containing waste

    Collected via the scale in Rønne and deposited at BOFAs landfill in Rønne.
