Recycling Collection Center

Vopnafjordur has offered a comprehensive and thorough recycling service for some years. We encourage you to take part in protecting the environment by sorting refuse with us.

Mjúkt plast (soft plastic), hart plast (hard plastic), gler (glass), batterí (batteries), kerti (candles), þunnur pappi (thin paper), þykkur pappi (thick paper), málmar (metal), pappír (paper).

When the collection center is open, these items should be delivered inside: 

Stones, yard waste, concrete and plaster, hazardous waste, electrical items, tires, fishing or trawler nets, rope, and timber, to name a few.
