If its paper like:Newspapers, letters, brochures, books, advertising newspapers, office paper.It gets sorted to it self, and then send to private paper mill and reused.

Horsens Recycling place

If you have something you want to get rid of, but its to big for the ordinary garbage bin, you take it to the recycling place, and dump it in the container that’s specific to your garbage material.

Horsens Recycling place

Each container on the site, is intended for a particular type of waste. Such as: • Concrete/bricks • House

appliances( washing machine, dryer and stove)

• Iron and metals (bicycles, cans, pots and pipes.)

White goods are specially difficult to get rid of.

So the appliances are covered by producer responsibility, which means that it is the producers who must jointly ensure proper disposal of the equipment.
