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?

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

  • 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).
    • Check the address where the bins are located.
    • If the bins are not associated with a specific address, the information is typically found under the household with the lowest house number among the closest households.

    Still having problems?
    If you still cannot find the relevant address, please contact BOFA: mail@bofa.dk

  • Windproof your waste containers

    You can prevent your bins from tipping over or becoming misshapen when it's windy by following these tips:

    • Wrap a chain or rope around the bins to keep them in place.
    • Make sure the locking mechanism is an easily accessible carabiner. Knots and similar locking systems hinder the waste collector's work.
    • Only use the windscreen when it's windy.

  • BOFA's organisation

    BOFA's organisation is illustrated in the organogram above.

    The day-to-day running of BOFA is handled by the management team, which consists of the director and three department heads.

    The three department managers have the following responsibilities:

    • CFO: Responsible for finance and administration.
    • Operations Manager: Responsible for the energy plant, recycling centre, environments and bottle bells as well as internal and external logistics.
    • Environmental and Project Manager: Responsible for the project department, recycling centres, hazardous waste transfer station, landfill, reception control and scales.

    The Operations Manager and the Environment and Project Manager each have two specialised coordinators who ensure daily and professional contact with employees in their respective areas.

    BOFA's User Council meets twice a year. The council acts as an advisory body without decision-making power. This means that the User Council cannot make decisions about BOFA's tariffs or services, for example.

    Any issues in day-to-day operations are clarified between BOFA's management team and the centre manager in BRK Environment, Planning and Culture and the Environment and Business Committee (MEU).

    Waste plans, regulations and similar are prepared in co-operation with the Environment and Business Committee.

    BOFA's highest authority is the municipal council.

  • What happens with hazardous waste

    Hazardous waste is collected at BOFA of STENA Recycling (located on Funen), sorting the waste. Some is separated and recycled, such as spray cans, while others are destroyed by incineration, such as pesticides.

  • What's happening with Small Electronics

    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 (Elretur, H. J. Hansen) hired by the manufacturer is responsible for the reuse, recycling, recovery or disposal of the fraction after collection/storage.

  • What happens with Textile Waste

    Textile waste is pre-sorted and stored in Rønne. From here it is sent to WastePlus in Næstved, where it is finely sorted and forwarded for reuse, recycling or recovery.
