Recycling Stations
Odense Waste Management Company Ltd. operates 8 recycling stations for private households, so each neighbourhood has a station within only a few minutes drive. More than 25 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.
75% is recycled
The inhabitants of Odense have reached one of the country's highest levels of recycling: 75% 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.
