Waste services
Recyclable waste
Plastic and food and beverage cartons, metal, and paper/cardboard are collected every 4 weeks. Glass is typically handed in at bottle banks around the municipality or according to the local shared-bin solution.
Food-waste bags
Households receive new green bags for food waste each year. If you run out, you can tie an empty bag to the residual/food waste bin so the collector leaves new bags at the next collection.
Bulky waste
Bulky waste must be sorted into separate piles, including metal, electronics, indoor wood, textiles, cardboard and residual sorted bulky waste. A maximum of 15 units may be handed in each time.
Torkilstrup Recycling Centre
Torkilstrup Recycling Centre is operated by ARGO. Residents and businesses have access to ARGO's recycling centres in Lejre, Roskilde, Køge, Stevns and Kalundborg municipalities.
Clear sacks and direct reuse
At the recycling centre, waste may only be handed in using clear and transparent sacks. Torkilstrup also has Gensalg/Direct Reuse, where usable items can get a longer life.
