Where to discard of the waste

In bins at the end of the driveway

The organic and the residual waste is discarded in the bins at the end of the driveway, with the organic waste disposed of in special green bags, and the residual waste disposed of in black bags or leftover shopping bags. Please note that, counterintuitively, the green bags go in the black bin and the residual waste goes into the green bin.

At the local recycling station 400 meters away

The plastic, food & beverage cartons, paper, cardboard, glass, and metal is discarded in bins at the local recycling station, a 400 meter walk or drive, right next to the camping resort, although slightly hidden from the street. See map above for directions.

At the local supermarket

Finally, the bottles with the bottle deposit symbols on them are returned at any supermarket in Otterup or anywhere else in Denmark.

Residual Waste

Residual waste is thrown into any plastic bag and then discarded in the green 600 liter bin at the end of the driveway.

Organic Waste

Organic waste is thrown into special purpose green bags which are then discarded in the dark 240 liter bin at the end of the driveway.

Plastic and Food & Beverage Cartons

Plastic and food & beverage cartons can be thrown into one of the compartments in the trash sorting station by the entrance.
