We, the people of Hafnarfjörður, can collect compost. the recycling centre at Breidhellu.

Free mulch for you!

We, the residents of Hafnarfjörður, have done a great job of sorting food.the residues and can therefore enjoy the results and receive compost from GAJU, SORPA's gasification and anaerobic digestion plant, free of charge.

The compost is available at the recycling centre in Breiðhellu. Muck is a powerful and nutritious soil improver that feeds the soil. It is unlike soil in that it does not contain any inorganic materials, such as sand or gravel.

Compost in a wheelbarrow or a bucket – you decide! If you need compost in smaller quantities, you can get compost at to all recycling centres until 5 September. Just remember to bring a shovel and a bucket. Compost is available at all recycling centres.

The cycle starts in the kitchen

As SORPA puts it, GAJA compost is intended for outdoor use. It is well suited for use on fields, plots, urban green spaces, flowerbeds and vegetable gardens. The compost is strong, and direct contact of the unadulterated compost with plant roots is not advisable.
GAJA compost is produced in accordance with a licence from the Food Standards Agency and is registered as an organic fertiliser. Yes, the cycle starts in the kitchen. Those of you who travel further afield in the capital region can also collect compost from other locations. It is also available at the SORPA recycling centres at Sævarhöfði and Ánanaust.
Thank you for sorting food waste. It's truly worth it!
