About this app

Waste Guide Denmark helps you find out how waste should be sorted in Denmark. The app is designed as a simple and practical sorting guide for everyday use, so you can quickly look up an item and see which type of waste it usually belongs to.

Search for, for example, pizza trays, batteries, coffee filters, glass, plastic packaging, electronics or food waste, and get a quick answer on how it should be sorted. The app also contains information on the most important waste fractions, common sorting errors and practical advice on, for example, clean, dirty or hazardous waste.

You can also find guidance information for Danish municipalities, including local waste regulations, contact information, official links and recycling centers. This makes the app useful, regardless of whether you want to check a single waste item, read about waste sorting in general or find information about your municipality.

The app is available in both Danish and English, and can be used by citizens, newcomers, students, tourists and others who would like to understand the Danish sorting rules better.

The app is an independent guide and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or operated by any public authority, municipality or public waste company. The information in the app is for guidance only. Local waste schemes, containers, recycling points and sorting rules may vary from municipality to municipality and may change over time. If in doubt, you should always check the rules with your municipality, your local recycling point or relevant official sources.
