Municipal waste service information
Sorting guidance
Perfect Waste scans over 8,000 barcodes and searches over 300,000 terms. The municipality also provides Danish, English, German and Dutch material plus library assistance.
Bulky waste
Large household items and textile waste are collected twice yearly when booked three weekdays ahead. Up to 15 units are allowed, normally 20 kg each; appliances are exempt.
Hazardous waste
Permanent homes have a red box that can be booked for collection four times yearly. Hazardous waste is excluded from large-item collection and otherwise goes to a recycling centre.
Garden waste and composting
Household garden-waste collection ended in 2024. It must be used in the garden or taken to a recycling centre; the former empty bin can be collected as a large household item.
