Extra bags for general rubbish
In December and January, the City of Hafnarfjörður will be offering extra bags for general rubbish for sale. These bags can be placed next to the rubbish bin and will be collected during the regular rubbish collection in the town during this period.
Major holidays also generate more rubbish than is usual in other months of the year. In December and into January, the City of Hafnarfjörður plans to offer extra bags for general waste for sale. These bags can be placed next to your rubbish bin and will be collected during the regular waste collection service in the town during this period. The bags are made of biodegradable plastic and are specially marked for this project.
Orkutunna – extra eco-friendly bags
The extra bags are only intended for general household waste and will be collected at the next kerbside collection of your green bin. The green bin is for general household waste such as food scraps, nappies and food-soiled packaging, as well as metals. No recyclable paper or hazardous waste should be placed in this bin; in such cases, the blue bin should be used, or you should take your waste to the nearest local recycling centre or to SORPA. The grey bin is emptied every 14 days and the green bin every 28 days. A refuse collection calendar for all areas of Hafnarfjörður and further information can be found on the Hafnarfjörður municipality website or here
The bags can be purchased at the Hafnarfjörður Customer Service Centre at Strandgata 6 and at the Service Centre on Norðurhellu. The price per bag is kr. 549, which covers the cost of collection and disposal.
