Waste and recycling
Where to put general waste, paper and plastic – and where to take glass, metal, electronics, textiles and hazardous waste.
The waste room is by the ramp down to the garage. This is where general waste, paper and plastic packaging go.
General waste
Put it in the bins marked for general waste in the waste room. General waste is currently collected on Mondays.
Paper and plastic packaging
Use the bins with blue lids in the waste room. Plastic packaging is sorted and put in a plastic bag from BIR. Paper and plastic are currently collected every fourth Wednesday.
The next collection dates for our address are on BIR’s page for Vågedalen 31–35 (in Norwegian).
Glass and metal
There are glass and metal containers at Laksevåg senter – by the exit from the covered car park, right above Rema 1000.
Hazardous waste
Take it to the nearest recycling centre. Hazardous waste must never go in general waste – the housing cooperative can be fined for it.
Electrical and electronic waste
Small electronics such as cables, chargers and old phones can be dropped off at the collection point outside Europris at Laksevåg senter. Larger items such as white goods and vacuum cleaners go to a recycling centre.
Fluorescent tubes
Can be dropped off at the collection point outside Europris at Laksevåg senter.
Textiles
Clean, whole and dry clothes, shoes and belts can go in the clothing containers next to the glass and metal containers at Laksevåg senter, or to the nearest recycling centre.
Nearest recycling centre
The nearest recycling centre is at Møllendalsveien 31. BIR also runs mobile recycling stations that are sometimes closer. Places and times change, so check BIR’s website (in Norwegian) for the latest information.
