Sorting guidance
Redux provides a searchable guide covering about 1,100 waste types in AffaldsApp and online, plus a booklet, posters, pictograms and tactile labels for visually impaired users.
Bulky waste
The Genbrugsbil and former bulky-waste scheme ended on 1 January 2026. Usable items should be passed on, while broken furniture and other large items go to a recycling centre.
Hazardous waste
Homeowners use the grey box for hazardous waste, small electronics, batteries and light sources and book collection in the app or Mit Affald. The box may weigh up to 4 kg.
Garden waste and composting
Garden waste goes to one of five Redux recycling centres or is retained as compost or a brushwood fence. Free compost is offered at three sites in spring and autumn while stocks last.
