Your guide to waste sorting in Denmark
2 followers
Mit Affald helps you sort household waste in Denmark. Search for an item, choose your municipality, and see which bin it belongs in. Find nearby recycling centres, check upcoming waste collections for supported addresses, and explore practical guides on recycling, bulky waste, and moving home. The website is available in Danish, English, and Arabic. You can also download the companion app, Affaldsguide Danmark, to search by photo and set reminders for upcoming collections.
I built the website and app because even a simple question like “Which bin does this go in?” can send you through several pages, and the answer can change depending on where you live in Denmark. I wanted one place to look up an item, check your local rules, and see when your bins are collected. I also wanted it to be easier for newcomers to get started, so the site is available in Danish, English, and Arabic.
I’d love for you to try it with something you’ve hesitated to throw away. Did you find a clear answer? Was any local guidance missing or confusing? If you try the collection calendar, I’d also like to know whether finding your address and next pickup felt straightforward.
