In Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality, residents sort waste according to national ten-trash-category goals. Food and residual waste are collected every two weeks, while recyclable waste is collected every three weeks. Green bags are used for food waste, and the recycling container is divided into paper/cardboard and metal/cartons/plastic. Recyclable waste should be placed loose in the container, not in bags, to support correct sorting.

The municipality's digital sorting guide explains both household sorting and the more detailed separation used at recycling centres. Multilingual information material is also available, and Perfect Waste can be used to look up waste items.
Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality has no bulky-waste collection service. Furniture, appliances and other large items must be taken to a recycling centre; reusable items can be handed in for direct reuse at the Videbæk, Hvide Sande, Ringkøbing and Tarm sites.
Hazardous waste is handed in according to municipal instructions through the environmental box or at a recycling centre. Smaller sites do not accept every waste type, so hazardous waste may need to be taken to one of the four large sites.
Garden waste can be delivered to a recycling centre or composted at home. The municipality notes that roughly one third of household waste can be composted and recommends allowing persistent weeds to decompose fully or taking them to a recycling centre.
