Municipal waste rules
In Egedal Municipality, household waste is sorted into ten trash categories, including food waste, residual waste, paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal, textiles, food and beverage cartons and hazardous waste. Residents use containers for food and residual waste as well as recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic and metal. Hazardous waste is collected in a red environmental box, and recycling centres accept larger items and bulky waste. The Egedalsorterer portal and app provide collection dates and sorting guidance.
