Odder Municipality is located south of Aarhus and is known as the East Jutland Riviera because of its coastline. The area has active local communities, culture and nature activities, and is popular with commuters and families.
In Odder Municipality, household waste is handled together with Renosyd and sorted into ten fractions, including plastic, metal, paper, cardboard, glass, textiles, food waste and residual waste. Residents can order collection of bulky waste and hazardous waste through Renosyd. The municipality’s circular waste plan focuses on increasing recycling and reducing waste, and access and snow-clearing rules apply in winter to ensure safe collection.
The joint municipal waste company Renosyd handles waste from private households in Odder Municipality. The municipality refers residents to Renosyd for practical information about sorting, collection, the recycling centre and waste services.
There is one recycling centre in Odder Municipality. Renosyd's full network consists of five recycling centres and value parks across Odder and Skanderborg municipalities.
At the recycling centre, waste must be handed in sorted by individual waste type. Residual waste and food waste should normally not be taken to the recycling centre, as they are collected from households.
At Renosyd's recycling centres, a maximum of 25 kg hazardous waste may be delivered per day. Medicine residues and needles must be delivered to a pharmacy, while clinical risk waste must be arranged with MOTAS.
Odder Municipality notes that burning garden waste is not permitted. Garden waste can be delivered to the recycling centre, but Renosyd also encourages residents to leave more garden material in the garden for the benefit of nature.
Renosyd works to reduce waste volumes and make better use of resources through reuse and recycling. One upcoming project is Værdicirkel Odder, with a new recycling centre and reuse shop.
