The town is divided into 14 neighbourhoods.
As before, the town is divided into 14 wards, which are signposted the day before collection with a notice of the planned collection. The spring clean begins in the centre of Hafnarfjörður on Friday, 1 April, and concludes with the collection of streets in Völlunum on Friday, 29 April.
Let's take an active part and ensure a good sweep!
We ask residents to take an active part in the spring clean so that it is as successful as possible. It is essential to have the streets clear of cars on the day of the sweep so that the kerb edges can be swept. Residents and staff of businesses in Hafnarfjörður can take the opportunity to sweep around their own premises at the same time. This will make the whole area look much tidier.
Zonal redistribution of suction
A specific work schedule is followed, which involves sweeping all neighbourhoods between 1 April and 29 April. The schedule is shown on the map below, and residents can use it to plan for the sweeping of their properties and immediate surroundings. The work plan is subject to change, primarily due to weather (frost) and delays with the contractor responsible for the sweeping.
