Dear residents of
Æblehaven
In Roskilde, as in the rest of Denmark, we are going to recycle and
re-use more garbage and burn less. We therefore need to get a lot
better at sorting our garbage.
Experiment with segregating plastic and metal
You are, as residents, going to start to segregate plastic and metal. At the same time, you are
going to continue to segregate paper, glass and cardboard as a part of this experiment.
The old garbage sheds at the end of the long tenements in Æblehaven, are going to be used for
plastic and metal. We hope that you will help us learn how to get better at sorting our garbage.
Successful garbage segregating starts at home
Good segregating starts at home and therefore we have created a small guidance for you to
hang on your refrigerator or your notice board at home. Here you will find examples on how to
sort you garbage and where you can deliver it once it is sorted.
During this experiment, there will be local events to find out, how you are getting along with
sorting your garbage.
If you have any questions regarding the experiment, you are welcome to e-mail us at:
[email protected] eller til [email protected]
This project is sponsored by the Danish environment board.
Best regards
Roskilde Kommune and Boligselskabet Sjælland
