Hello! I'm Bofus - do you have any questions?

All questions and answers

BOFA takes the waste. But where do I hand in my used tyres? Can they have rims on them? What do I do with the half a can of paint that was left over?

Waste plan 2022-2034

Dear reader

Welcome to the Waste Plan for Bornholm Regional Municipality for 2022 - 2034. With this waste plan, BOFA lays the overall framework for further work to fulfil the vision of a waste-free Bornholm in 2032. The waste plan is based partly on the national waste plan for the whole of Denmark and partly on Bornholm's own Vision 2032.
With the new waste plan and the initiatives that follow - initially sorting into up to 12 waste fractions in households - we are significantly closer to the sustainable society we all want.

To achieve the goals of the waste plan, everyone must contribute. Co-operation is the way forward. Whether you are a waste collector, contractor, company, organisation, citizen or child on Bornholm. Everyone is needed.

We will have to get used to many changes in the field of waste in the coming years, because it is absolutely necessary in a world with an ever-increasing population and limited resources. The waste plan for Bornholm Regional Municipality for 2022 - 2034 is one of Bornholm's contributions to meeting this challenge.

Happy reading

Sincerely yours

Jens Hjul-Nielsen
Director of BOFA

Are BOFA seats allowed to be swiped?
Yes, it is allowed to make a mess at the recycling centre, but there are certain materials and situations where it is not allowed.

Don't mess with that:
- Electrical scrap: This applies to both small and large electrical appliances, white goods and anything else that is powered.
- Hazardous waste: Neither what's on the table nor what's in the containers should be messy.
- Special container for donation: Containers set up by the Job Centre or other organisations for recycling items are also exempt.
- For sale: It is not allowed to scrap metal for the purpose of resale.
Are you in doubt?
If you are unsure about what is allowed to be worn, ask the site staff.

Don't want your stuff to get messed up?
If for some reason you don't want what you bring to the recycling centre to be clumped by others, you can contact the site staff. They can either destroy it with machines or otherwise ensure that clumping does not take place.
