Find a recycling station

Frequently asked questions

• Is FTI responsible for cleaning the recycling stations?

  Yes. Our assignment includes cleaning the bins and the surrounding area if the litter is associated with the recycling station. If material or incorrect waste has been dumped outside the bins, normal cleaning is not enough and the cleaners might not be able to remove it. Then we have to order an extra operation from a contractor who will come and remove it. Would you like to know when we clean or empty a recycling station? Search for the station, and you will find information about when it was last cleaned and emptied, as well as the next date for cleaning and emptying.

• I lost something in a bin – what can I do?

  If the bin has already been emptied, there is not much you can do unfortunately. Call FTI’s Service Center on 08-566 144 00. After office hours, call 0200-88 03 11. You will need to give the station’s ID number and the type of material that was in the bin where you lost your item. That information is needed to connect you with the right collector.

• What is the difference between a recycling station and a recycling center?

  You only drop off packaging at a recycling station. The packaging can be plastic, paper, glass or metal. You can also drop off newspapers there in most municipalities. Recycling stations are for consumers and run by FTI. At staffed municipal recycling centers, you can drop off bulky waste such as green garden waste, household appliances, furniture, electronics and similar.

• What can I do if I would like a recycling station in a certain area?

  To establish a new recycling station, we have to collaborate with the municipality or landowner. A suitable site has to be identified first. Then we need to obtain permission to set up a station on the site, as well as a building permit. Contact your municipality if you have a request.
