Waste
Rubbish chutes can easily be clogged if they are not used as they should; causing considerable inconvenience to all residents and the janitor. Therefore, all waste needs to be packed in waste bags which are tied knot. Please do not force any larger items through the chute as this increases the risk of it clogging. There are high costs associated with a clogged rubbish chute and if this occurs frequently, it can result in an increase of common expenses. Rubbish chutes are only to be used for household waste. Empty waste bags must not be thrown in the chutes as they can damage the ventilation.
Newspapers, magazines and advertisements must be placed in the special paper containers at the end of the building. Cardboard must be left in the containers inside the wooden shed in front of the building.
Bottles and glass also have to be placed in the special containers in the wooden shed. Please only throw away bottles and glass between 9:00 to 22:00 o’clock to minimize the noise for the residents living close to the glass containers.
Bulky waste can be thrown away in the large container which is placed in the parking area twice a month. If you need to throw away bulky rubbish at other times of the month, please use the nearest recycling center at Vermlandsgade Recycling, Herjedalgade 2-4, 2300 Copenhagen S.
