Recycling trash bins
All our homes have recycling containers at your disposal in the kitchen.
In order to gain space, we have put three bins for you: general waste, plastic and organic waste. Paper, cardboard and milk/juice cartons go into a separate bin.
You need to recycle following these instructions from the Municipality of Oslo: Sort food waste in green bags, plastic in purple, and residual waste in ordinary waste bags or grocery bags.
Please take a look at the basic illustrations for the recycling signs in your city below and visit the websites provided for more information before you take action. You can find out more 👉 here.
Who takes care of sorting and taking the trash out?
Members have the full responsibility to properly sort the waste in the correct trash bins. The housekeeper will not re-sort if it is not properly done beforehand, and that could lead to trash bins not being taken out.
Housekeepers take out the trash on their designated cleaning days only.
When the trash is full outside of those days, please take it down to the courtyard into the trash containers yourself.
Housekeepers will not take care of overflowing trash bins, full bags/bins, or too heavy bags, extra cleaning due to private parties. Please reach out to us if you have more questions.
