♻️ Recycling & Trash Bins
For LifeX Homes in Denmark
All LifeX homes are equipped with recycling containers in the kitchen to help you sort your waste correctly and sustainably 🌍🗑️
In some homes with Regular Services, you might only see the most common bins — typically bio waste and general waste — to save space. However, recycling is still required, and it’s everyone’s responsibility to follow local waste separation guidelines. More information👉 here.
🔎 How to Recycle
Please refer to the recycling symbols and signs specific to your city. These show you how to separate items like:
♻️ Plastic & packaging
🗞️ Paper & cardboard
🍎 Bio waste
🗑️ Residual/general waste
🍾 Glass & metal containers
👉 You can find helpful guides and official resources here: [Insert city-specific recycling website]
🧴 How to Return Pant Bottles & Cans
The Danish Deposit System
In Denmark, many bottles and cans are part of the Pant system, which is a deposit-return scheme designed to reduce waste and encourage recycling.
💰 What is Pant?
When you buy a product in a bottle or can, you pay a deposit (Pant). When you return the empty item, you get your deposit back — either as a voucher or cash. The returned items are recycled or reused, helping the environment 🌿
🔍 How to Identify Pant Items
Look near the barcode for these labels:
Pant A
Pant B
Pant C
These indicate that the item is part of the return system.
🏪 Where to Return Pant
Supermarkets:
Most stores have Pant return machines (usually at the entrance or back of the store). Insert your items, and the machine prints a coupon 💳 that you can redeem at the register.Reminder:
If a bottle/can does not have a Pant symbol, please place it in the correct bin — for glass, metal, or containers, depending on the material.
🚮 Who Takes Care of the Trash?
✅ LifeX members are responsible for sorting all waste correctly into the designated bins.
❌ The housekeeper will not re-sort trash that is incorrectly separated. If waste is not sorted properly, the bins may not be taken out.
🗓️ Housekeepers take the trash out only on their scheduled cleaning days, and bins must be completely full to be emptied.
📦 If the bins become full before cleaning day, please bring them down to the courtyard trash containers yourself.
⚠️ Please Note
Housekeepers do not handle Pant returns.
They also do not manage:
Overflowing trash bins
Extra or too-heavy trash bags
Cleaning after private parties or events
