Information in English: The waste collection system in Fjellregionen

FIAS helps you dispose your waste for recycling and reuse. With proper sorting, waste can be a valuable resource.

All households in Fjellregionen must subscribe to the waste collection service through the council. The subscription includes regular collection of bins, access to waste points and recycling stations.

Every household or appartments has 4 different bins for sorting garbage. In addition you get a roll of bags for plastic packaging, and a roll of green biobags for food waste.

• Turquoise lid for is for glass and metall packaging (must be put in the bin without a bag)
• Green lid for is for food scraps (must be put in a green biobag that we supply for free)

When you run out of bags you can go and pick up a new roll at these supermarkets, the council costumer service or one of the recycling stations.
