HSY pricing encourages waste sorting

HSY uses the pricing of waste management services to encourage people to sort and recycle. In future, reusable sorted waste can be brought to Sortti Stations for less than half the fee of waste that is not reusable.

The waste management fees of properties depend on the size and emptying frequency of the waste containers. This encourages properties to move to less frequent emptying of waste containers, recycle their waste or decrease the amount of created waste. Read more
