Get help with waste sorting

Here you can find results for your search term, whether it's a waste type or a product.

The search engine searches both headings and descriptions, so you may get results that don't match exactly but are still relevant. For example, "juice" may show "Pringles," because the packaging needs to be sorted in the same place as juice cartons.

Intelligent search

The spelling is not that important - our search engine understands you anyway. Type in your keyword, select the relevant result and click for more info about the waste type.

Are we missing a word?

If the search does not return any results, you can suggest a new word. The feature will appear automatically and we will make sure to research and add it to our database. Your help makes our system even better!

Frequently asked questions

  • 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 clone materials 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.

  • Who pays for waste collection when there is a change of ownership?

    When a property is traded, the real estate agent or lawyer must draw up a reimbursement statement. This reimbursement statement determines what the previous owner and the new owner each have to pay for (among other things) renovations. This is all adjusted via the property tax bill.

  • 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.
