Food waste

Notes:

Food waste can not be delivered to the recycling centres. Private households are referred to their own containers/environments. Companies/businesses that need to deliver food waste can contact BOFA.

What happens with food waste

After short-term storage at Fugato in Balka, the food waste is sent by lorry to Gemidan in Ølstykke, where it is bio-gasified. The plastic bags in which the waste is delivered are sorted out on arrival at the plant on Zealand.

The biogas is used to produce heat and electricity. The residual product is used by agriculture as bio-compost.
