Sortti containers for domestic hazardous waste

HSY’s container for household hazardous waste.

In addition to Sortti Stations, we accept almost all hazardous waste from households free of charge at Sortti containers for hazardous waste. The collection is for private individuals only. Hazardous waste from companies is accepted at Kivikko and is subject to a charge.

The exact locations of the Sortti containers:

Sortti containers for hazardous waste are usually located in the yards of service stations or stores and are accessible during their opening hours. Fill in the customer information form at the service point, providing both your own information and the waste you are delivering. The purpose, grounds and conditions of the processing of the personal data on the customer information form are described in the privacy statement of HSY’s waste management information systems.

Bring hazardous waste in original containers or label your container with what it contains. Please note that the containers must be intact and closed. Always leave the containers in the boxes in an upright position.
