Eco charge
The eco charge is the annual residence-specific charge. For the eco charge, the waste company offers waste sorting possibilities for municipal residents:
- eco points located in each municipality within the operating area
- waste stations that accept sorted recyclable and hazardous waste free of charge
- battery collection points at shops, schools or eco points
- pharmacies that accept medical products and mercury-containing thermometers free of charge
- the eco charge is collected from all households within the operating area of Lakeuden Etappi, and it is invoiced in connection with the regular waste invoice.
Eco points
Eco points accept paper, glass and small metal from households.
Waste Stations
Waste stations serve households and companies. Sorted recyclable waste is accepted free of charge from households. Combustible and landfill waste is subject to a separate charge according to our price list. The waste station accepts waste volumes of no higher than 2 m3 (car trailer load). Larger waste volumes are accepted at the Etappi waste management centre in Ilmajoki.
