Residual waste is the least desirable choice
We will take a look in your residual waste containers and count the number of materials
that could have been placed in one of the containers for recycling. We pep up one of
your residual waste containers. This is to remind you that residual waste is the least
desirable choice when there is no more to separate for recycling. We enclose a guideline
that informs you about separation. All you should do is separate all you can.
9 of 10 already separate for recycling
Nine of ten already separate for recycling to some extent, but we still see around 25% of
the recyclable waste ending up in the residual waste bin and thereby in the flames at the
incineration plant. With Operation Recycling we wish to put even more focus on separation. We will gather all the experience gained in Operation Recycling so other housing
associations can get inspiration for how to improve the separation efforts in the blocks.
Want to know more?
You can follow the project on www.operationgenbrug.dk (Danish only), see who else is
participating and follow the overall results and experience from the operation.
If you already separate enthusiastically, please keep up this fine work and tell others
how you go about it in order that separation of waste becomes a natural part of your
everyday life. We would be very pleased to receive your tips and advice at
genbrug@frederiksberg.dk.
Yours faithfully
Waste & Recycling
City of Frederiksberg
We have sent out the recycling guides to see
how good you are at separating waste for
recycling.
We will take a look in your residual waste
containers three times in the period from
February to October. We will count recyclables, but do not remove waste.
You can see the result of the first check in the
enclosed status report.

Container for small electronic items
As part of the campaign of Operation Recycling you now have a container for small electronics. This is a trial that will continue throughout 2014.
The container will be located next to the other recycling containers or where you normally dispose of your bulky waste items. You can ask the person responsible for waste in
the block if you cannot find the container.
Generally, you can drop all types of electronics in the container as long as it fits in; but
please do not use it for television sets and computer screens. Screens may break during
collection and they should therefore be disposed of as bulky waste as hitherto. In the
enclosed guideline you can see what goes in the container for small electronics.
If the electronics container is full you must drop the rest of your electronics as bulky
waste or at the recycling centre - no matter how small they are.
Yours faithfully
Waste & Recycling
City of Frederiksberg
You will get a special container for small electronics in
your block.
