Aarhus Municipality is Denmark’s second-largest city and is known as the City of Smiles, with cultural life and sights such as Den Gamle By and ARoS Art Museum. The city is an education and innovation centre with a modern atmosphere and a balance between urban life and nature.
In Aarhus Municipality, household waste is sorted into ten fractions: food waste, residual waste, paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal, textiles, food and beverage cartons and hazardous waste. The utility company Kredsløb manages sorting, recycling stations and guidance. Food waste, textiles and residual waste must be placed in tied bags, while materials such as glass, metal and cardboard are delivered loose. Bulky waste can be ordered online, and the waste plan På vej mod et cirkulært Aarhus focuses on recycling and reduced CO2 emissions.
