Hazardous waste

Hazardous waste (formerly problem waste) includes materials and items that have been removed from use and that pose a particular threat to or harm people’s health or the environment.

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.

Household hazardous waste

Hazardous waste delivered by households is accepted free of charge, with the following exceptions:

  • Construction  and demolition waste containing hazardous waste is subject to a charge also for households. See the Commercial hazardous waste section of the price list.
  • Asbestos and pressure-treated wood are subject to a charge, see the Sortti Stations for private customers section of the price list.

Commercial hazardous waste

We charge a fee for commercial hazardous waste based on total weight. The total weight includes the IBC container, barrel or pallet used to store the waste. We also charge a separate treatment fee for IBCs.

Kivikko Hazardous Waste Reception Station, Kivikonlaita 5, Helsinki, opening hours Mon–Fri from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

We accept a maximum of 800 kg of each type of hazardous waste, except

  • a maximum of 50 kg of waste oil and fluorescent tubes/lamps;
  • up to five gas cylinders or 25 litres per customer; and
  • lead-acid batteries are accepted without restriction.

Corporate customers are required to provide a Waste Transportation Document, as specified in the Waste Act, for any hazardous waste brought to the Kivikko Hazardous Waste Reception Station.

We collect a fee from companies, institutions and similar corporations as stated below.
