Get your bulky waste picked up - it's easy and free
Bulky waste is your broken household goods.
Your bulky waste will be picked up for free at your front door. You just have to book a pick-up in advance on this page. And you need to have an address in the city of Aarhus.
If your stuff can be reused by others, then please pass them on.
Note: The booking system is in Danish.
Bulky waste is your broken household goods like for example:
Furniture
E.g. tables, chairs, beds, and rugs.

E.g. pots, cutlery, barbecues, and bikes.

Residual waste
You can hand in these items at the recycling station - except for residual waste. Your residual waste must be disposed in the waste container by your home.
Your bulky waste will not be reused. It's waste.
The more we reuse, the less natural resources we need to produce something new. Reuse is good for the planet.
If you have bits and bobs which others can make use of, then consider handing it in for Genbrug (Reuse) at the recycling station, at one of the two Nærgenbrugsstationer in Aarhus C, in Bytteboxen or at a thrift store.
Or give it away on the internet.
Bulky waste is waste and is handled as such.
It is crushed to bits and pieces. Then valuable materials, for example metals, are sorted out and used for making new metal.
The rest of it is incinerated and becomes district heating in your radiator.
Bulky waste is recycled, but not reused.
When you give your bike to your neighbour, then your neighbour will use it again as a bike. The bike is reused.
However, when you give your bike for recycling, for example by giving it away as bulky waste, then it will be divided in all its elements, for example aluminium, iron, and plastic. Those materials will then be melted down and used to make completely different items of.
Therefore, recycling is more demanding than reusing and this is why we must reuse as much as possible.
However, when bits and bobs cannot be (re)used anymore, it is important that we recycle as much as possible.
