Hafnarfjörður municipality reminds everyone that fireworks waste does not belong in household trash bins. Fortunately, special containers will be set up to collect the remnants of the celebrations.
After the New Year, fireworks waste is often noticeable around town. It is important to bring this waste to recycling stations, as it must not go into household bins. The same applies to unused fireworks, they should be placed in the hazardous waste containers at SORPA. Information on sorting holiday-related materials can be found on SORPA’s website.
Two containers for fireworks waste will be set up in Hafnarfjörður on December 30th. One will be at the neighborhood station at Tjarnarvellir 15, and the other in the town center near Fjarðarkaup. They will remain in place until January 9th.
SORPA’s recycling stations reopen on January 2nd. More detailed information can also be found here.
And the Christmas trees! Sports clubs, Haukar, and ÍH have been driving around town collecting trees for a fee as a fundraiser.
