Grass Share
Only grass without foreign materials.
No plastic bags!
Note that over the summertime reception of garden waste in Kópavogur is in Arnarnesvegur/Álalind.
What happens to the material?
Grass and hay is mixed with chopped tree branches at the landfill site at Álfsnes and the material allowed to decompose. This creates compost, which is an organic soil supplement, as well as reduces the volume of buried organic waste.
Home soil production from organic waste provides excellent compost for the garden for those who have the facilities to do so. This maintains nutrients within nature’s cycle as well as reduces the transport of waste materials and thereby negative environmental effects.
