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

If made of metal
Metal / Metal

If large or heavy
Recycling centre / Genbrugsplads

If small and mixed material
Residual waste / Restaffald
Dumbbells should be sorted by material and size. A plain metal dumbbell can be sorted as metal if heavy metal items are accepted locally. Large or heavy dumbbells should go to a recycling centre. Dumbbells with fixed rubber, vinyl or plastic coating may be mixed material and should follow local guidance.
