Recycling Stations

Odense Waste Management Company Ltd. operates 8 recycling stations for private households and smaller enterprises, so each neighbourhood has a station within only a few minutes drive. More than 35 categories of waste are collected – from bulky waste (furniture, refrigerators, electronic waste, and garden waste) to hazardous waste (batteries, oil, paint) and to bricks, rockwool, pvc etc.

85 % is recycled

The inhabitants of Odense have reached one of the country's highest levels of recycling: 85% of the bulky waste is recycled. The rest is incinerated and only a small percentage is landfilled.

All recycling stations are layed out as a horse shoe. The containers are always placed in the same order, which makes it easy to plan the order of unloading before entering the station.
