Municipal waste rules
In Tønder Municipality, household waste is sorted into ten trash categories: food waste, residual waste, paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, textiles, food and beverage cartons and hazardous waste. The municipality uses divided containers for both recycling and food/residual waste. Food waste is collected in green bags, recycling containers are emptied every four weeks, and food waste containers every two weeks. Tønder Forsyning manages collection and operates recycling centres for larger and hazardous waste.

Municipal waste service information
Sorting guidance
Tønder Forsyning's searchable sorting guide shows both the correct household bin and the recycling-centre option. Its waste pages also provide guidance on recycling islands, recycling centres, garden-waste sites and direct reuse.
Bulky waste
Tønder does not have an ordinary household bulky-waste collection service. Furniture, appliances and other large items must be delivered sorted to the sites in Tønder, Skærbæk, Hølleskov, Løgumkloster or Rømø; registered residents can use 24/7 access.
Hazardous waste
Hazardous waste and pressurised containers are delivered through the red environmental box or directly to recycling-centre staff. Hazardous waste, fibre-cement sheets, insulation and items for direct reuse may only be delivered during staffed hours, not through the 24/7 service.
Garden waste and composting
Garden and branch waste can be delivered to Tønder Forsyning's garden-waste sites, which are accessible around the clock, or at relevant recycling centres. It must be free of soil, plastic and other materials so it can be composted or recovered correctly.
