Read more about the waste management regulations

According to the waste management regulations, biowaste as well as plastic, glass and carton packages and small metal items will be separately collected from properties that have at least five apartments from 2021 onwards. The properties can already order containers for the sorting of different waste. The location of the property will have some impact on the availability.

Sorting obligations

The waste management regulations of the city define which waste the property has to sort and collect. HSY’s waste management regulations are valid in the Helsinki metropolitan area (Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo, Kauniainen) and Kirkkonummi.

In residential properties, the sorting obligation is defined by the number of apartments and, in other properties, the amount of generated waste. Usually, the more inhabitants, the more waste types is recommended to collect within the property.

Rent bins from HSY

We recommend a rental bin for waste collection. We deliver the rental bins to the properties, free of charge. Broken rental bins will be replaced without extra cost.

Please note that after the new waste management regulations became effective in March 2019, the bin colour codes for waste types were redefined. Although some of the bin colours changed, we will not replace an old waste bin until it is broken.

It is allowed to use own waste containers instead of the rental bins, but it must be possible to empty them appropriately.

Ämmässuo Treatment Centre

Weighed waste loads

Waste loads transported by truck or other large vehicle are accepted at the Ämmässuo Waste Treatment Centre in Espoo.

The customer (the producer and the holder of the waste) must be aware of the quality, characteristics and origin of the waste in their possession as well as its suitability for landfill use. This information is provided upon delivery. A Waste Transportation Document is required for certain types of waste in accordance with current legislation.

The treatment fee is determined by the weight, type and quality of the waste load. The load is assessed at the reception. If a load includes several different types of waste, the fee is determined based on the most expensive type of waste.

We will charge the customer for any additional costs incurred from waste being directed to in correct treatment as a result of missing or inadequately filled documentation, such as a missing Waste Transportation Document or incorrect waste type declaration.
