This means for you that you should have waste containers for organic waste, paper, glas and metal and residual waste. We also collect plastic, this is delivered in designated plastic sacks.
There is a waste calander that tells you when which waste will be collected in your area at what time. There is also an app: MinRevovasjon (Google Play) and (Appstore)
So in Årdal we recycle all that we can.
In Årdal you have to divide your waste into three catagories; paper waste, household waste and environmental waste. These catagories are either collected by our wastemanagment crew and you delivering it yourself.
- Household waste, bin with black lid, is collected once a week.
- Paper waste, bin with a blue lid, is collected once a month.
- Environmental waste, small red bin and on its own, can be delivered during opening hours at Geithus and/or Sunde resirk (depending on the waste).
