Waste services
Newer bulky-waste scheme
Bulky waste is a voluntary service. From 2025, the scheme changed with new fractions, new collection days and the option of collection every 8 weeks depending on district and booking.
No municipal garden-waste pickup
Hørsholm Municipality does not have a garden-waste collection scheme. Garden waste can instead be delivered to Norfors recycling centres, composted on private property or handled through a private collector.
Hazardous waste and fibre cement
Hazardous waste and fibre cement sheets may only be delivered at the recycling centre when staff are present. Pressure cylinders and spray cans must always be sorted as hazardous waste.
Direct reuse
At selected Norfors sites, including Containerhaven, there is a Genbrugshytte where items and furniture for direct reuse can be handed in and passed on through charitable organisations.
Shared waste containers
Housing associations and properties with shared containers may have special solutions. Each household may deliver up to 200 kg hazardous waste per year at the recycling centre.
