What happens to the material?
The material is ground up at the receiving and sorting plant at Gufunes.
This makes it possible to retrieve metal parts in mechanical sorting. The rest is baled and buried in the landfill at Álfsnes, where the landfill gas formed when the organic material decomposes is collected. The gas is refined and used as fuel for vehicles.
It is important to sort out waste that belongs to other categories, such as paper and paperboard, gypsum, plastic, hazardous waste, etc.
