More and more people have become accustomed to sorting waste at home. These good habits must be continued as a natural part of the study and working life at AAU. 

Central waste sorting allows you to sort into several categories / waste fractions, such as metal, plastic, bio, cardboard, paper, glass, textile, flamingo and residual waste, as well as food and food cartons and hazardous waste. Several waste categories may apply, which is why it is possible to make separate agreements with Campus Service for collection.

Where can I find waste bins?

The waste bins are located in central locations in each building such as common areas, main entrances, by auditoriums and by kitchens. Plastic, bio and residual waste are sorted in the waste bins in the central areas. The paper waste is sorted for recycling in the printer compartments. The remaining waste categories are sorted at the underground wasrw containers, except for Styrofoam, small electronics, and porcelain, which are disposed of in the waste room.  

Where can I find the rooms or containers dedicated for waste handling?

You must sort and take Styrofoam, small electronics, and porcelain to the waste room yourself; other waste is disposed of at the underground waste containers.

Together we will ensure effective waste sorting at AAU

The increased sorting of our waste enables AAU to send the pure waste categories for recycling. We are constantly expanding categories and guides for sorting on this page.

Please contact us directly by email: bygaalborg@adm.aau.dk for more information or inquiries about the sorting.

We appreciate your contribution

If you find an error in one or more of the sorted categories, e.g. that a paper container has been destroyed with food waste, you can advise Campus Service via the AAU Building Support app - download it HERE.

With your tip, we in Campus Service have the opportunity to save the waste category so that most of it can be recycled - thanks! We appreciate your contribution.
