In Rødovre Municipality, household waste is sorted into ten fractions, including food waste, paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal, food and beverage cartons, textiles, residual waste and hazardous waste. Homes use divided containers for food and residual waste, while apartment buildings often use larger shared containers. Hazardous waste and electronics must be delivered to the recycling station. Bio bags are provided for food waste, and the municipality works to increase recycling under its waste plan.
Rødovre Affald og Genbrug ApS handles household waste collection in Rødovre. The municipality refers residents there for sorting, collection, missed collections, the recycling station and other waste questions.
Through self-service, residents can see when waste is collected, report missed collections and find or update address information. The solution is operated by Rødovre Affald og Genbrug.
Rødovre Recycling Station is located at Sandbækvej 7. The new recycling station is designed for better sorting, increased capacity, direct reuse and a reuse house/swap area.
Rødovre's waste plan focuses on reducing waste, increasing and improving recycling, expanding direct reuse and reducing environmental impact from areas such as construction and demolition.
When renovating or demolishing, construction waste must be screened, reported and disposed of correctly. Hazardous waste, electronics and other special waste types must follow current guidance from the municipality and Rødovre Affald og Genbrug.
