Hazardous waste

Hazardous waste (also known as toxic waste) refers to an unused substance or item that may cause a health hazard or an environmental hazard.

It is extremely important to not place hazardous waste in mixed waste or in the sewer; all hazardous waste must be delivered to the appropriate collection point.

Hazardous waste delivered by households is accepted free of charge, with the following exceptions: Construction and demolition waste containing hazardous waste are subject to a charge for households as well and we charge for them

as indicated below. Asbestos and pressure-treated wood are also subject to a charge, see the ‘Sortti Stations’ section of the price list.

Commercial hazardous waste
