Winter and waste transports

Stormossen and garbage truck drivers appreciate your efforts as a homeowner to ensure that waste collection runs smoothly and safely, even during winter.

• Remember to plow and sand your driveway and the area in front of the waste bin.
• Ensure that doors, hooks, or locks on garbage sheds can be opened – even with thick gloves on.
• If waste becomes frozen inside the bin, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to thaw the bin so that the waste can be emptied. You can prevent biowaste from freezing by first letting the bag freeze separately, e.g. in a lidded bucket to avoid pests. Then place the frozen bag into the bin.

If the waste transporter has visited your property but could not empty the bin for a reason that falls under the homeowner’s responsibility, the homeowner will still be charged for the transport fee (excluding the treatment fee) according to the current waste tariff.

Waste collections may be delayed in challenging weather conditions, such as ice, cold, or heavy snowfall. We do our best to catch up with the schedule.
