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

Pharmacy
If medicine remains
Apotek

Residual waste
If empty and made of mixed materials
Restaffald
Nasal spray with medicine residue or expired contents should be returned to a pharmacy. Empty mixed-material packaging normally goes in residual waste unless local rules say otherwise.
If your municipality does not collect this category at your home, you can do this.
There is no general substitute category. The municipality must provide a residual-waste scheme; contact it if you cannot access one.
