Hazardous waste

Notes:

Hazardous waste is not accepted at Hasle and Østermarie recycling centres.

For private citizens:

Small amounts of hazardous waste in original containers can be delivered via the red recycling bin (see rules here). Larger quantities (< 5 litres/5kg) can be dropped off at the recycling centres (Hasle and Østermarie excepted) during staffed opening hours on the table by the hazardous waste container.

For business:

Business customers registered for the recycling centre scheme can drop off hazardous waste at the recycling centre. Other commercial customers must deliver hazardous waste to an authorised collector.
