  • Why should low-waste households pay the same as high-waste households?

    Of the total cost of waste collection, either from the household or an environmental organisation, only about 12% is dependent on the actual amount of waste from the individual household.

    The rest of the price, approximately 88%, is tied up in fixed costs associated with general waste management.

    These are fixed refuse collection services (Meldgaard and Fugato), equipment leasing/depreciation, and waste management/treatment.

  • Why is my address not in My Waste?

    If your address does not appear in the self-service, it may be because there are no waste containers registered at the address. This may be the case if you share waste containers with other households.

    How to find information about emptying communal bins:

    • Log in WITH WASTE with MyID (note that you are leaving this website).
