The municipality of Hafnarfjörður draws attention to the fact that fireworks debris has no place in the garbage containers at home. But we are lucky, because special containers will be set up to receive all the bursting joy.
After the New Year, fireworks debris is often prominent in town. It is imperative to take this rubbish to recycling centres, because it must not go into the correct bins. The same goes for unexploded fireworks, they should go into the hazardous waste container at Sorpa. Information on the sorting of substances from the holiday season can be found on Sorpa’s website.
Two special containers for fireworks debris will be set up here in Hafnarfjörður on December the 30th. One at the nearby station at Tjarnarvellir 15. The other one in the center of town, by Fjarðarkaup. They will be there until January the 9th.
SORPA’s recycling centres will open again on the 2nd of January. Further information here.
Happy Clean Year!
