Municipal waste service information
Sorting guidance
The municipality's and Vestforbrænding's sorting guides explain how to sort waste at home and what should be taken to Glostrup Recycling Station.
Bulky waste
Furniture, mattresses and other bulky waste are handled through the current property or municipal scheme. Waste not covered by the collection scheme can be sorted and taken to the recycling station.
Hazardous waste
Hazardous waste must be kept separate and handed in through the property's environmental cabinet, red box or current municipal scheme. It can also be taken to the recycling station under its rules.
Garden waste and composting
Garden waste is handed in through the local scheme or at Glostrup Recycling Station. Follow Glostrup Forsyning's current guidance on set-out, containers and accepted types of garden waste.
