Information
Thank you for sorting your waste, let’s recycle together! Click here to access the eSortti.fi service.
For information on waste liable to a charge or free of charge, see the table below. Sorting instructions are provided in connection with the types of waste. ‘Private customers’ means ‘household customers’.
Please note that Sortti Stations cannot be accessed with lorries or combination vehicles that are more than two metres wide or more than 10 metres long. Such loads should be transported to the Ämmässuo eco-industrial centre.
The locations and opening hours of the Sortti Stations as well as instructions for visiting are available on our website at www.hsy.fi/en/waste-and-recycling/sortti-stations.
The Sortti Stations in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and Kirkkonummi are waste recycling stations.
When you bring your old furniture, garden and renovation waste as well as 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.
Private customers can rent a trailer from a Sortti Station for transporting waste to the station. One rental period is three hours. The trailer cannot be used for transporting the topsoil sold at the Sortti Stations. Waste reception is subject to a fee according to our price list.
