- Where can I find the recycling sites in Sønderborg Municipality and their opening hours?
-
You have the opportunity to come to the recycling sites outside normal opening hours if you are registered access365 scheme.
- What should I do with construction waste?
-
In Denmark, you as a client must report your construction and demolition waste no later than two weeks before embarking on a renovation or demolition project if:
- A project produces more than 1 ton of waste
- The construction project includes the replacement of double glazing from the period 1950 to 1977
If the work produces dust or noise, you should too report the temporary activity.
All notifications must be accompanied by a building survey, which before the start of the project reviews the building for content of problematic substances, eg PCBs, chlorinated paraffins, PAHs, asbestos and heavy metals in paints and building parts. Most painted surfaces contain contaminants and should be examined, preferably by a professional consultant.
When demolishing carports, greenhouses or buildings with untreated masonry, mapping may not be necessary.
