Hi! The English site is only a beta for now and still has many errors (especially in names and locations).
We are working hard to fix them and making more content available than ever before so expect constant updates.
Reykjavík City's Waste Collection handles waste from the city’s households. All households are required to have containers for four categories. Residents can increase or decrease the number of bins at their home as needed. When we sort, we handle resources better and positively impact the environment.
When we contribute and sort correctly, we are helping to ensure that we can continue to recycle and reuse what is no longer useful to us. Are you throwing your waste in the right bin?
In multi-family residences, residents need to consult each other about changes to the number and types of bins. This is because these changes affect the fees residents pay for waste collection.
It is important that waste collectors get to waste bins safely and unhindered. It saves time during collection, reduces damage, impacts the health of workers, and ensures your home receives better and cheaper services. Is access to your bins adequate?
It is cheaper to throw away less and sort more! If there are changes in the number of waste containers, or the frequency of unloading, the change in fees is based on the week in which the change is requested.
