Waste guide,
Remember these things when visiting the Sortti Stations
- Reserve enough time for your visit to the Sortti Station and wear clothes suitable for unloading your waste yourself.
- Pay special attention to safety at the Sortti Station. Keep pets in the car, follow the speed limit (10 km/h), and watch out for other customers. Please note that for children, the safest place at the Sortti Station is inside the car.
- Do not climb onto containers or compactors.
- Wear protective clothing. Work gloves protect your hands from sharp waste, and closed shoes are a safer choice than sandals, as there may be nails or other sharp objects on the ground. Even though we clean the area regularly, caution is still important. We also recommenr protective eyewear when handling waste.
- Protect your hearing, as throwing waste and working machinery may cause loud noise. Free earplugs are available at the Sortti Station service point.
- Please note that even empty aerosol cans are classified as hazardous waste at the Sortti Stations. Asbestos is only accepted at the Ämmässuo Sortti Station. Asbestos may be found in old construction materials, such as fibre cement boards and roof coverings.
