Do you have hazardous waste?

Your company is responsible for sorting and delivering the company's waste correctly. This applies not least to hazardous waste. Here's how to do it:

Fill in the form

Before you hand in your company's hazardous waste at a recycling centre, you must fill in and sign a form. When you have handed in your hazardous waste correctly, we will sign the form. It thus serves as your documentation to the municipality that you have delivered your company's hazardous waste correctly. If you are not able to print and bring the form, we can hand it out to you at the recycling centre.
