Waste management for holiday homes

‍

Waste from your holiday home can be managed in different ways:‍

1. own waste bin
^‍

If you spend a lot of time at the summer cottage and there is a road to the cottage, it is most convenient to get your own waste bin. An agreement on emptying is entered into with a waste transport company for the time you stay at the holiday home. The waste bin must be emptied according to the waste management regulations.

Contact details for the waste transport companies

2. shared waste bin

Two or more neighboring properties can agree on a common waste bin.

In some areas where holiday homes are densely located, there might be common waste bins under the auspices of holiday homes associations, road administrative committees or village committees.

A written notification about shared containers is submitted to the Suupohja's waste committee.
