Waste management

In Finland there are strict rules about household waste sorting and utilization. Biowaste (food leftovers, outdated food products and the like) will be put in special bioconsumable packets and thrown into the compost hole on the cottage territory. This hole is located near the road, where the last electric pole is:

NO WASTE OTHER THAN BIOWASTE in special packets should be thrown into the compost hole!

Special biowaste packets are stored in the uppermost removable box above the sink in the kitchen. On these packets you can see following text, which is easy to understand, e.g.: “Biojatepussi”, “Bioavfallspase”, “BioBag”, “OK compost”.

Attention: for biowaste you may use only these type of packets. The usual polyethylene packets are NOT ALLOWED to be thrown into the compost hole!

The bucket for biowaste is the smallest one with a green lid, located on the table to the right of the sink.
For all other waste, you will have to go to a recycling place in Savonranta.
Start from the beginning to properly sort your waste.

You must separate waste into four (4) separate packets, which you can then put in the free place under the kitchen table:

• Paper
• Glass
• Metallic objects
• Packaging material and other similar items (this means: all remaining waste). 

Upon departure, please take these sorted waste packets with you and throw them into bins at the nearest municipal waste site for the different kinds of waste (excluding biowaste!):
