When collecting items for a recycling ad, you must follow proper recycling procedures. You are personally responsible for ensuring that everything is left in the right place and sorted correctly. As a rule, what is collected is left at the associated municipality's recycling center.

You must of course follow the local guidelines at the place where you recycle, for example, you may not include other people in the picture when you document your recycling or there may be a limit on how much you can throw away.

Material from recycling ads should mainly be taken to a recycling center or recycling station. Some items can be kept for reuse.

Recycling center

This is the primary drop-off point, where you can leave almost anything. But keep in mind that:

  • Observe local restrictions on hazardous waste such as paint waste, waste oil, or chemicals.

  • Asbestos and food waste are prohibited.

  • Not all recycling centers accept e.g. garden waste or concrete. Check the website of each company/recycling center for more information.

  • Bulky waste should be recycled in the same region where it is collected.

  • If you bring whole and clean items, feel free to leave them in reuse containers at the recycling center.

  • A cost may be added for certain waste categories or quantities, read more on each company's/recycling center's website.

Non-authorized recycling sites

  • Recycling in building waste rooms is not allowed, as it creates extra costs and work for the association

  • Private or company-owned containers are not approved sites for recycling
