We see waste as a resource, and we would like to tell you about it. Throughout the year, ARGO offers tours and educational courses for children, young people, and adults at our recycling centres and at the Energy Tower in Roskilde.
In 2025, ARGO welcomed a total of 6,421 visitors. Almost 5,000 children, young people, and adults explored the Energy Tower, while 1,449 visited one of our 14 recycling centres.

In 2024, the total number of visitors was 6,175, meaning that ARGO's visitor and school services have experienced growth.

"We offer professional insight into waste management. Because it does make a difference to sort your waste when the cardboard box from your Christmas present is turned into an egg box. When I take school classes to our recycling centre or to the Energy Tower, where they can smell the residual waste and feel the heat from the furnace where we burn residual waste, the learning sticks better. The kids use their senses, and we take them right up close to where it happens," says Mette Lynge Nielsen, coordinator and communicator in ARGO's school service.
At the recycling centres and in the Energy Tower, we teach based on the waste hierarchy. Why is it important to sort your waste, and how can we make new products from our waste? We discuss waste prevention, reuse, recycling, energy recovery, and landfill.
We have four facilitators, including our student assistant Sebastian Hjort Jørgensen, who is studying to become a teacher.
During a visit to the Energy Tower in Roskilde , we also talk about waste incineration, energy generation, and the greenhouse effect. Visitors are given a tour of the combined heat and power plant and see everything from the large waste pit to the flames in the furnace, which reach temperatures of around 1,000 degrees Celsius when the waste is incinerated.
ARGO's team of communicators explains:
"We also hope to spark children's and young people's interest in subjects and education within science and technology. To stimulate students' curiosity, collaboration, and academic thinking, we are currently working on developing a new teaching programme for upper elementary school students, which is designed with inspiration from escape rooms."
Our facilitators create new activities for teaching with second-hand items.
We offer educational programmes for institutions, school classes, companies, and associations. We look forward to providing you with an educational and inspiring experience at the Energy Tower or at one of our recycling centres.
