Allerød Municipality uses self-service and the Affaldsportal app for collection dates, notification service, missed collections and ordering extra collections. Private households can have bulky waste collected six times a year. Collection must be booked each time no later than four days before collection, and the waste must be placed out sorted.
Detached and terraced houses with individual bins sort ordinary household waste into several waste types, including residual waste, food waste, plastic, paper, cardboard, glass and metal. Food waste must be placed in the green bags supplied by the municipality. It must not be placed loose in the bin, and the bags must be tied securely. Allerød Recycling Centre is located at Nordkranvej 10 in Lynge and is used for waste that does not belong in ordinary bins. Sorted cardboard, plastic, paper, glass and metal can also be handed in there if needed.
