Municipal waste rules
In Vejen Municipality, household waste is sorted into ten trash categories: food waste, residual waste, paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal, textiles, food and beverage cartons and hazardous waste. The municipality provides household containers, and the AffaldsVejen app helps residents track collection dates and find sorting guidance. Recycling centres accept larger waste and hazardous waste, and extra collection can be ordered when needed. The waste plan focuses on recycling and waste reduction through effective sorting.

Municipal waste service information
Sorting guidance
AffaldsVejen can search for items or scan barcodes and shows text, an image and a pictogram for the local solution. If a product is missing, the user can submit a photo for municipal review; recycling centres also have interactive container maps.
Bulky waste
Vejen does not have an ordinary mixed bulky-waste collection service. Sofas, furniture, appliances and other large items should be dismantled where possible and delivered sorted to the Vejen, Brørup or Rødding sites; use clear sacks when packaging waste.
Hazardous waste
Small hazardous items are collected in the environmental box, which is labelled with the address and exchanged according to municipal instructions. At recycling centres, oil, chemicals and other hazardous waste must be handed directly to staff in closed, labelled containers of no more than 5 litres or 5 kg.
Garden waste and composting
Garden waste must be delivered sorted at recycling centres or composted at home. Branches, leaves and grass must be kept free of soil, stones, plastic and plant pots so the material can be recycled; larger composite items should be dismantled before delivery.
