Vordingborg Municipality in South Zealand is known for Gåsetårnet and the Danish Castle Centre, reflecting the area’s historical significance. It offers coastal areas, island life and cultural activities for residents and tourists.
See the postal cities and postcodes associated with the municipality.
In Vordingborg 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. Households receive three containers and an environmental box for hazardous waste and small electronics. The municipality cooperates with AffaldPlus on sorting and recycling, and sorting guides and collection schedules are updated regularly. Waste should be scraped free of residue to reduce odour and improve recycling quality.

Municipal digital self-service is used for questions and changes concerning residual waste, food waste, recycling bins and bulky waste. It shows address-specific collection days, reports missed collections and books relevant services.
Vordingborg's and AffaldPlus' Affalds-ABC shows whether an item belongs in a household bin, bulky-waste collection or a recycling centre. Guidance is also available for local bins and recycling points for glass, paper and small cardboard.
Bulky waste can be booked up to 12 times a year. Twelve separated units may be placed out per collection; each may normally weigh no more than 25 kg and measure no more than 2 x 1 metres, while manageable furniture and appliances may be heavier.
Hazardous waste is delivered through the red environmental box or at a recycling centre. Private residents may deliver no more than two units of 25 kg or litres each per day at a site; medicine and leftovers can be returned to a pharmacy.
Garden waste and branches are not collected as bulky waste. They can be composted at home or delivered to a recycling centre or local garden-waste site; the material must be free of plastic, soil, stones and other contaminants.
