Let's clean up Hafnarfjörður – let's clean up our local environment

From 11 April to 20 May, clean-up days are taking place in Hafnarfjörður under the heading
CLEAN UP HAFNARFJÖRÐUR. 

Residents in all neighbourhoods of Hafnarfjörður are encouraged to take an active part in the clean-up of
Hafnarfjörður. A clean-up day in the street or neighbourhood offers a fun
togetherness. A request for bags to be collected after neighbourhood cleaning should be sent to
hafnarfjordur@hafnarfjordur.is – some neighbourhoods have already got started! We encourage residents to share photos using the hashtags: #hreinsumhafnarfjörð #hreinnhafnarfjörður #flokkumogplokkum 

^{These brilliant girls got stuck in in their local area in Áslandið. The future is bright with these!}

Spring cleaning on streets, pavements and footpaths

Spring sweeping begins on Tuesday, 9th April. The town is divided into 15 neighbourhoods, which are signposted the day before sweeping with a notice of the planned schedule. We encourage families and businesses to sweep the area around them before the sweeper arrives! 

CLEARANCE OF VEGETATION AND PLOTS 

Now is the right time for tree and shrub pruning. While Clean-up Days are underway, it is an ideal opportunity to get busy in the garden. Special attention is drawn to the fact that landowners are required to keep the growth of trees and shrubs on their property within the property boundaries. Tree growth can cause inconvenience and even danger to pedestrians and motorists.

Garden waste collected at home

Garden waste will be collected from 6th – 20th May. On 6th May in the north and west boroughs, Hraunum and the town centre. On 13th May in Setberg, Kinnum and Hvammar, and on 20th May in Ásland, Völlum and Holti. All waste must be in reasonably heavy-duty bags.
