Waste and recycling
Sorting your household waste is part of everyday life in Denmark. Much waste is reused which make a difference for the environment and climate.
The City of Aarhus adopts the rules for the waste schemes, the fees for the schemes and enforces laws and regulations in the area.
It is the utility company Kredsløb who is in charge of collecting your waste.
