Terms and conditions
GAJA is SORPA´s biogas- and composting plant where pre-sorted organic household waste is processed and recycled into compost and biogas.
Organic waste cannot be delivered directly to GAJA. Organic waste must first go through the pre-processing facility in the receiving plant in Gufunes. An exception to this is organic pumpable household waste that meets the conditions of receipt for pumpable bio-waste.
Customers pay for waste according to weight (ISK/kg) according to the price list.
A special surcharge is added, 30% of the fee for a load or a minimum of ISK 47590,00, if the waste and/or delivery is not in accordance with acceptance requirements.
Waste is accepted in exchange for cash payment or on presentation of a business card. The processing fee at the landfill site at Álfsnes is a minimum of ISK 3750,00 including VAT.
