Invasive plants

Invasive plants are species that have been introduced and are not wanted on Bornholm. Examples of these plants are:

• Wrinkled rose (rosehip rose)
• Arrowhead (Japanese/giant/hybrid)
• Giant hogweed
• Goldenrod (Herringbone/Canadian)
• Giant Balsamin.

These plants - as well as other invasive species on this list - are unwanted on Bornholm and are therefore fought against.

If you have plants or plant parts from the above species, dispose of them properly:

1. Residual waste (this type of waste is taken directly to incineration).
2. Residue after sorting - small, preferably in closed bags (in summer, residue after sorting can be sent to an intermediate depot, which can allow the plants to spread).
3. For larger loads of invasive plants, they can be delivered directly to BOFA's incinerator.

By disposing of it correctly, you help protect Bornholm's nature from the spread of invasive species.
