Food waste
Food waste must be packed in a bag and placed in the food-waste bin. In Odsherred, ordinary waste bags can be used because they are easier to separate than bioplastic bags.
Large household items and textile waste
The Large household items and textile waste scheme has replaced the former bulky waste and garden waste scheme. It is used for selected larger items and textile waste collected according to the municipality's rules.
Recycling centres
Residents and holiday-home owners can use the municipality's recycling centres, where each site has around 40 waste types and areas for direct reuse. Food and residual waste are not accepted at the recycling centres.
Clear sacks and access rules
Waste in sacks may only be handed in using clear sacks, otherwise it may be rejected. Recycling centres and the garden-waste site are for vehicles up to 3,500 kg plus a trailer.
Construction waste and asbestos
Construction waste must be reported if you have more than 1 tonne of waste or 10 m2 of building waste. From 2025, asbestos may only be removed by authorised professionals.
