Sorting of waste
All household waste is recycled. The recycling is done in two different kings of thrash bins. Biowaste to its own container and energy waste (dry waste) to its separate container.
Glass, metal, paper and card board are recycled separately and SHOULD NOT be put among household garbage. Look for the eco-points near by you, usually these can be found e.g. near schools or in supermarket parking areas.
Biowaste / organic waste (Biological waste)
