🎄 Christmas Sorting Tips
Christmas is approaching, and at the same time, waste bins fill up faster than usual. By preparing for sorting in advance, the holidays can go smoothly without unnecessary problems. Here are the most important tips for recycling during Christmas:
🍗 Cooking fats
Do not pour ham or other Christmas food fats down the drain – they solidify and cause blockages. Let them cool and scrape into bio-waste or absorb with kitchen paper.
✨ Wrapping paper and ribbons
Shiny and plastic-coated wrapping paper and ribbons do not belong in paper recycling. Dispose of them in mixed waste.
🍽️ Foil trays and metal waste
Cleaned foil trays, drink cans, and tealight aluminum cups → metal recycling. Remove the wicks.
📦 Packaging materials
Clean cardboard packaging → cardboard recycling.
Food plastics and other plastics → plastic recycling.
🌲 Christmas tree
Used Christmas trees can be taken after the holidays to the Hopeakivenlahti garden waste point (Hopeakivenlahdentie 55), where they are composted.
💚 Small actions make Christmas smoother
Proper sorting keeps the environment tidy and the holidays stress-free.
