Sign up for waste management by contacting our customer serviceSuitable bin and emptying interval
When you sign up as a waste management customer, we will bring a mixed-waste bin to your property. Bin rent is included in the emptying price. You can also agree on sharing a waste bin with your neighbours.
In general, waste bins emptied on a certain day of the week. The emptying interval is based on the size of household and amount of waste. It can vary from one to six weeks.
The price of waste management partly depends on the size of the waste container and the emptying frequency.

Biowaste
Biowaste is sorted in all residential properties, including summer cottages, in urban areas with over 10 000 inhabitants starting from 1 September 2023 in Tampere, Kangasala, Lempäälä, Nokia, Pirkkala and Ylöjärvi.
In urban areas, you can order a biowaste bin for your own yard. We will deliver a rental bin for biowaste, the price of which is included in the bin emptying fee.
Biowaste bins are emptied every two weeks between 1 May and 30 September. A winter-period (1 October to 30 April) emptying interval of four weeks can be agreed for biowaste bins. The emptying price includes washing the bin twice a year.
You can also order a biowaste bin shared with your neighbours.
Waste management in sparsely populated areas
In sparsely populated areas, waste is taken to your own bin, a shared bin with your neighbours or to the regional waste points. Regional waste points can be used by residents of both permanent and recreational residencies. An annual fee is charged for using regional waste points.
