Waste services
AffaldsVejen
The AffaldsVejen app can be used to scan or search for waste, see collection dates, receive notifications, report problems with collection or bins and find recycling-centre addresses and opening hours.
Sorting at home
Vejen Municipality sorts into 10 waste types using divided bins for food/residual waste, plastic/food and beverage cartons, and glass/metal with cardboard/paper.
Environmental box and textile waste
Hazardous waste is handled using an environmental box, and textile waste is handed in using special bags. The schemes help keep hazardous and recyclable waste out of residual waste.
Recycling centres
Vejen Municipality has recycling centres in Vejen, Brørup and Rødding. Residents can hand in recyclable waste and get guidance on correct sorting at the recycling centres.
Separate mixed items
The municipality encourages residents to separate mixed items before handing them in at recycling centres, so materials such as metal, wood, plastic and electronics can go into the correct containers.
