Where is bio-waste collected separately?

The sorting of bio-waste applies to buildings with five or more flats in urban areas.

What kind of bag can I collect bio-waste in?

We recommend using paper bags for bio-waste as they break down better than biodegradable plastic bags. Bio-waste bags can be collected free of charge from the recycling stations during their opening hours. Bio-waste can also be collected in e.g. an empty flour bag or a paper bag of folded newspapers.

What happens to the bio-waste?

The bio-waste is transported to Stormossen's bio-waste facility, where the bio-waste is reused as raw material for compost soil and environmentally friendly vehicle fuel.
