Mixed waste

We recommend getting a rental bin from HSY for waste collection. Broken rental bins will be replaced without any extra cost. See rental bin fees in section Rent waste bins from HSY.

It is allowed to use own waste containers instead of the rental bins, but it must be possible to empty them appropriately. Functional waste management requires that the property has a sufficient number of waste collection containers that are suited for the collection system used in the area as well as for mechanical collection.

Regional collection points of mixed waste

The regional collection points of mixed waste are intended for the daily mixed waste produced by households. It is not allowed to dispose of hazardous waste or waste that is not suitable for mixed waste due to its large size, exceptional quality or large amount in the mixed waste collection points. All waste taken to the collection point must be appropriately sorted and packed.

An amount of no more than 660 litres of mixed household waste can be brought in during one visit to the Sortti Station with the annual fee card. A charge in line with the valid rates shall be charged for other waste brought to the Sortti Station, such as furniture. Read more about the Sortti Stations.
