What to do with Christmas trees and firework debris?

Christmas trees

On the occasion, Hafnarfjörður would like to draw attention to the fact that the town staff do not collect Christmas trees from residents after the Christmas season. It should be noted that sports clubs and NGOs are offering the service of picking up Christmas trees at your doorstep on certain day´s for a fee as part of their fundraising effort.

• The Haukar basketball team are offering to pick up Christmas trees, from the doorstep of Hafnarfjörður´s resident´s, after 6 p.m (18:00) on Saturday, January 6th. All trees will be recycled in collaboration with Terra. To register, you must order and pay for the service on their website, before midnight, the 5th of January. The tree should be placed outside the perimeter of your lot or in your garden, around 6 p.m. (18:00) on January the 6th, and Haukar will pick it up later that same evening. For more information, call Stefán; 525-8703 during office hours.
• ÍH (sports association of Hafnarfjörður) also offers this service, where residents are asked to order through a Facebook post. Two dates are available, January 6th and January 7th, from 12 p.m to 4 p.m (12:00-16:00).

We welcome any information about other sports clubs that offer this service. Please send such information to hafnarfjordur@hafnarfjordur.is.

You can as well discard of your Christmas tree at Sorpa´s recycling center – Sorpa’s opening hours can be found here.

Firework debris

After the New Year, firework debris is often prominent around the town. It is imperative for the townspeople to get this trash to recycling centres, but it must not go into the household bins. The same applies with unexploded fireworks, they should only go into the hazardous waste container at Sorpa. Information about the classification of waste from the Christmas season can be found on Sorpa’s website.
