DIN Forsyning handles waste services

DIN Forsyning handles waste collection, recycling centres and environmental stations in Varde Municipality for both year-round homes and holiday homes.

Residual and food waste

All households must be part of the residual and food waste scheme. The standard bin is divided, with residual waste in the large compartment and food waste in the small compartment, and is collected every 14 days.

Recyclables at home

DIN Forsyning has separate schemes for cardboard and paper, plastic and food and beverage cartons, and glass and metal. Collection calendars and reminders are available through DIN Forsyning self-service.

Environmental box and textile waste

Hazardous waste is handled through an environmental box, while textile waste has its own scheme. Both must be kept separate from residual waste so they can be treated correctly.

Recycling centres

Varde Municipality has five recycling centres: Varde, Oksbøl, Nørre Nebel, Ølgod and Vrenderup. Larger waste, electronics, hazardous waste and materials that do not belong in household bins can be handed in there.

Construction waste

Construction waste must be reported to Varde Municipality if the project creates more than 1 tonne of waste, affects more than 10 m2, includes sealed glazing units from 1950-1977 or may contain hazardous substances such as asbestos, PCB or heavy metals.
