Ideally, we should not use chemicals and products that become hazardous waste. But when we do, it is very important
to take care of the remains and leave them at the environmental station.
How? The waste must be well packaged. Leave it in the original packaging or label the packaging clearly with what
it contains. Do not mix different types of chemicals in the same package. Ask the staff at the recycling center if you need help when leaving waste.
Where? Hazardous waste from households must be left at an environmental station. The environmental stations are available at all recycling centers.
Car batteries are primarily left to a dealer. Medicines are handed over to a pharmacy.

ELEVATION WASTE Everything with a cord or batteries and light sources is sorted as electrical waste. Light bulbs and others
light sources, fixtures, clocks, telephones, toys, hand tools. Appliances, household appliances, household appliances
and home electronics.
Where? Electrical waste from households is left at a recycling centre. Electronic products can sometimes also be left to a
reseller. Ask in the store how they take care of their products.

GROSS WASTE Bulky waste means household waste that does not fit in the bin, e.g. discarded furniture
and other bulky. Sort by material at the recycling centre. Bicycles, prams and the like
sorted as scrap. Here you also leave smaller items made of metal for recycling. Stone, concrete, porcelain/ceramics
and other things that cannot be recycled are sorted as landfill waste.
Bulky waste does not include large amounts of construction and demolition waste, fixed installations from buildings, for example
heating boilers and car parts from workshops. Contact a waste contractor for transport and recycling of this waste.

treated wood • Pressure impregnated wood • Rice and branches from the garden • Grass, leaves and other compostable garden waste • Soil • Appliances, household electronics and other electrical waste • Combustible bulky waste – that which cannot be sorted as above.
