Odense Kommune

Odense Municipality is Denmark’s third-largest city and is known as the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen. It offers a dynamic cultural life, many educational institutions, green areas and an attractive environment for students, families and businesses.

In Odense Municipality, residents sort waste into ten fractions, including food waste, residual waste, paper and small cardboard, glass and metal, plastic, food and beverage cartons, hazardous waste and textiles. Food waste is collected in green bio bags, and glass and metal are sorted together. Batteries and small electronics are delivered separately through environmental boxes or recycling stations. Odense Renovation offers the Mit Affald app for collection reminders and sorting guidance.
