Waste services for properties - HSY

Sorting problems? The waste guide helps you!

On the property, waste can be sorted into plastic, manually movable waste containers or various containers that are emptied by refuse truck. You can rent plastic waste containers or metal front-loading containers for larger amounts of waste (not biowaste) for your property from us. The choice of the appropriate number of waste containers and the collection frequency depend on the property’s size, resident structure and number of waste collection points. You can use the sizing table found (in finnish) on our website as an aid for planning. We deliver the waste containers to the property free of charge within seven business days, we charge separately for express delivery.

All our containers are rentals – why and what are the benefits?

Using uniform waste containers improves the occupational safety of refuse truck drivers and makes collection smoother. If the property has a self-purchased, plastic waste container that complies with HSY’s standards and is suitable for mechanical collection, you can continue to use it. When the container breaks, you have to rent a new plastic waste container from HSY.

We replace rental containers that have been worn out or broken in use free of charge. We charge a fee for the replacement of burned or otherwise damaged or lost waste containers.

The rental fee also includes rinsing of the waste container 1–2 times a year depending on the type of waste. If the waste container becomes very dirty before its annual washing, you can order a replacement for a clean container subject to a charge from our customer service. For biowaste containers, it is possible to order a lining bag separately to keep the container cleaner. The refuse truck driver replaces the bags in connection with collection.

‍

Larger, built-in deep containers and containers installed on the ground surface are sold and rented by private companies. However, collection is carried out by HSY.
