Search for an item and see which Danish waste category it should be sorted into. Try pizza box, coffee filter or battery.
Belt should be sorted as:

Reuse
If not broken
Genbrug

Residual waste
If broken
Restaffald
Donate a belt if it can still be used. Sort a worn-out or broken belt as residual waste or take it to a recycling centre, not textile waste. A buckle can go with metal if it is easy to remove.
If your municipality does not collect this category at your home, you can do this.
Alternative: Municipal recycling centre, local collection point or shared collection station. Do not automatically use residual waste.
There is no general substitute category. The municipality must provide a residual-waste scheme; contact it if you cannot access one.
Mit Affald helps you understand waste sorting in Denmark, whether you need to look up a single item, read about a waste category or find local information for a municipality. Choose a municipality to see local sorting rules, and use the collection calendar to see upcoming pickups at your address if supported.
Use the search field above to see how an item should be sorted, browse the main Danish waste categories, find municipality contact details and local waste rules, or locate recycling centres across Denmark.
