Waste management service fees 2022

The Sortti Stations in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and Kirkkonummi are waste sorting stations. When you bring your old furniture, garden waste and scrap metal to our Sortti Stations, they will be processed and recycled into materials or energy. Our goal is to have an even larger amount of waste materials recycled into raw materials for new products. Materials with no existing recycling solutions can be used to generate heat and electricity.

For information on waste subject to a charge or free of charge, see the table below. The stations accept the usual debit and credit cards or an invoice. Sortti Stations are self-service stations and offer the option of advance payment.

When arriving at the Sortti Station, sign up at the service desk. Let the employees know the type and quantity of waste you are bringing in. Unload the waste from the vehicle and place it on the waste skips. Follow our sorting instructions. If necessary, ask the employees for advice. Please note that we cannot offer assistance in unloading the waste.
