Sortti station reception fees for private customers

  2. Enter your car’s registration number in the web service; your car will then be recognised at the gate of the Sortti Station and it will open automatically. Alternatively, the gate can be opened using the QR code you received.

​Thank you for sorting your waste, let’s recycle together! Click here to access the eSortti.fi service.​


Waste free of charge and liable to a charge

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’.

  • We charge for individual items, such as an armchair, spring mattress or sofa, according to volume.
  • You can pay at eSortti.fi, with the most common payment cards or by invoice, either as self-service or at the service desk. We do not accept cash.
  • How much will your waste load cost? You can enter the details of the waste you are taking to a Sortti Station in our eSortti.fi web service. You will be informed about the costs and you can also pay the invoice in advance.

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-and-other-sortti-recycling-services​

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.
