Bulky waste

Bulky waste info

BOFA collects bulky waste from private year-round households 3 times a year, starting in March, June and October.

Registration must be done:

• No later than 14 February if you want collection in March.
• By 14 May at the latest if you want collection in June.
• By 14 September at the latest if you want collection in October.
• After the 14th, a route will be planned and you will receive a text message or email with the pick-up date at your address.

Signing up after the 14th means that you are automatically signed up for the following pickup.

Bulky waste will only be collected if you have received a confirmation from BOFA with the collection date.

Please read the rules for drop-off and sorting before ordering:

• Bulky waste must be placed no later than 07:00 on the collection day.
• The waste must be placed next to the road, no more than 1 metre inside the driveway.
• For long private roads, it must be possible for the lorry to turn around at the house. If this is not possible, the waste must be placed on the nearest tarmac road.
• In all cases, it is up to the driver to decide if driving on the private road is allowed.
• If the waste is placed anywhere other than right in front of the front door, this must be stated in the message field when ordering.
• The waste must be placed visibly and easily accessible to the driver.
• Waste must be sorted and packaged according to the sorting rules below (use clear bags as a starting point).

To ensure proper handling of waste, please note that waste that is not sorted and packaged in accordance with applicable sorting rules will not be accepted.

It should also be noted that collection is carried out by several different vehicles. Therefore, it may happen that the waste is collected several times on the collection day itself.
