Handling cardboard, paper, metal and glass waste

The Forskningsparken waste room is located in the basement and all ordinary waste can be disposed of there; see details below.

  • Paper is put in dedicated containers for paper waste.
  • Cardboard is put in the compactor.
  • Glass is put in dedicated containers. All glass waste have to be rinsed and empty of any chemicals they may have contained. Lids should be removed before the glass is thrown out. Any contaminated glassware should be disposed as hazardous waste.
  • Metal is put in dedicated containers for metal waste.
  • Plastic is put in bags for plastic waste and soft and hard plastic should be separated.
  • Styrofoam/ ESP (expanded polystyrene) is put in the stationary compactor for remaining ordinary waste since it is not recycled.
  • Batteries are put in a small dedicated container for batteries.
  • Light tubes and light bulbs are put in a dedicated container. They contain around 10-30 mg mercury so they should be handled with care to avoid breakage, and they need to be treated as special waste.
  • Computers are taken care of by the IT team (Including hard drive clean up).
