Sorting your Waste
Do you know how to sort your household waste or what you can dispose of at our recycling stations?
Your waste must be sorted in five types:
- Other waste
- Food waste
- Paper/cardboard
- Packaging waste (Metal, plastic and glass packaging)
- Environmentally harmful waste (only for single-family houses)
If you are in any doubt about which container to use, then please use the 'other waste' container.
How often do we collect your waste?
We will collect your “other waste” and “food waste” every two weeks and your recycling container (the one for paper/cardboard and packaging waste) will be collected every four weeks.

The Recycling Center sells the things that you put for recycling at the recycling site on Endelavevej in Horsens. A House have been set up on Endelavevej where you can put your things instead of throwing them in the containers or for incineration/destruction. The clothes that are handed in for recycling are also sold by the Recycling Center.
In the Recycling Center, we get help from a number of unemployed and sick citizens, who prepare and sell the goods in our shop. It is part of them getting ready to start work or start an education.
