Biowaste (biojäte)
Biowaste is all biological, decomposable waste. All houses with at least five apartments must have their own biowaste collection bin (in the municipalities of Hämeenkyrö, Ikaalinen, Kangasala, Lempäälä, Mänttä-Vilppula, Nokia, Orivesi, Parkano, Pirkkala, Tampere and Ylöjärvi). Others can use their own composter for composting biowaste.

Biowaste: 

  • food leftovers
  • coffee filters and teabags
  • kitchen paper, napkins
  • fruit and vegetable peels
  • eggshells, egg cartons
  • gardening wastes: twigs, leaves, grass cuttings, bits of plants 

Please pack biowaste in a newspaper, paper bag or in a bio-decomposable bag.

This is NOT biowaste:

  • liquids (to the sewer)
  • hazardous waste
  • cigarette stubs, ash, disposable dust bag of the vacuum cleaner (dry residual waste)
  • plastic bags, dipers (dry residual waste)
  • textils, rubber, leather (dry residual waste)

Biowaste is transported to Tarastenjärvi solid waste management site, where it is composted in the composting plant. The ready compost is used for landscaping the landfill site at Tarastenjärvi.
