THE CITY OF STAVANGER BRINGS THE HOUSEHOLD WASTE UNDERGROUND
© IWWG International Waste Working Group (10/2007)
Each inhabitant in Stavanger produces an annual amount of about 430 kg of household waste (see table 1). More than 80% of this is collected at the household from a 3-bin system. In addition hazardous waste and smaller WEEE-goods are collected from each household twice a year. Almost all other types of waste can be delivered to one of the 48 unmanned recycling points or at the manned recycling station. The level of source separation amounts to the quite high portion of 65%. The separated waste is mainly recycled into new materials, including compost. (Session A6: Waste collection)
