About a seven-day delay in rubbish collection
The collection of all waste streams, from both the green and blue bins, is now seven days behind schedule in parts of Hafnarfjörður. Garbage collection in Vogar, Setberg, Ásland, Álfaskeið and on the remaining streets in Holt is expected to be completed before the weekend. Service providers are working outside of their usual service hours at the moment and will continue to do so over the next few days and week to catch up on the delay.
Collection of kerbside bins is also behind schedule
The emptying of all waste collections, for both the green and blue bins, is now seven days behind schedule in parts of Hafnarfjörður. The rubbish collection in Vogar, Setberg, Ásland, Álfaskeið and on some of the remaining streets in Holt is expected to be completed before the weekend. Service providers are working outside of their usual service hours at the moment and will continue to do so over the next few days and week to catch up on the delay. Under the contract, the grey bin is to be emptied every 14 days and the blue bin every 28 days. We thank residents for their understanding of the situation and hope that the refuse collection will be back on track as soon as possible.

Please note that today, these seven days must be added to the dates shown. If the results do not meet the standard, residents are encouraged to submit a report so that these cases can be reviewed separately.
Working outside of normal service hours to catch up on delays.
Residents have not been spared the significant disruption and delays to rubbish collection in recent days. Initially, snowfall and the condition of the roads, as well as the bank holidays over the Christmas period, caused the delays. Additionally, technical issues and equipment failures have had a significant impact, making it more difficult to catch up on the delays. Residents are still urged to ensure their bins are accessible so that collection crews can empty them when the lorry passes through the area.
Collection of kerbside bins according to schedule
Due to the weather and breakdowns, the collection of kerbside bins has also fallen behind schedule, and bins at most neighbourhood sites are already full. Contractors are working on the collections and it is hoped that everything will be back on schedule before the weekend. While the collections are being carried out, residents, particularly in Hafnarfjörður, are asked to refrain from using the kerbside containers and to use SORPA's recycling centres instead.
