Kuva RE-pisteestä

Etappi’s new service, RE-point, is located next to the old Seinäjoki waste station at Laulateentie 111. RE-point serves all the residents living in Etappi’s operating area, which means that people from Etappi’s other partner municipalities besides Seinäjoki are also welcome.

RE-point offers many ways of taking care of waste disposal, and you can dispose of domestic waste there also as self-service using the RE-appi mobile app. In short, you can take waste there whenever it suits you, regardless of opening hours. The mobile app is only available in Finnish. Please use RE-point during service hours if you don’t speak Finnish.

The staff are available in the Hubi customer service area during service hours and are happy to guide you. During service hours, you can choose to have the staff help you or dispose of your waste as self-service. Companies can only dispose of their waste during service hours.

Three-point RE-point – the different areas

The way it works is that you sort your waste at home and unload it at Tarha or the covered sorting shed known as Tuubi, depending on the sort of waste you have and following the sorting instructions. There are signs to show you what type of waste goes where. To help you sort your waste, the mobile app (in Finnish) and our website have a Waste search function where you can check what category of waste a certain item belongs to.

RE-appi-mobiilisovellus

  • Download the RE-appi application from your application store.
  • Register into the application using your email address. Check your email account for a confirmation email (in Finnish) and confirm your account according to the instructions. Please note: The confirmation email will come from noreply@materialport.com.
  • Log in to the application using the password you have created.
  • Prepare your load at home and enter what type of waste you are going to bring to RE-point by choosing “uusi käynti” (“new visit”).
  • Each type of waste must be entered separately. After you have chosen a type, the text for the waste type will turn orange and will be transferred to the shopping basket.
  • If you don’t know what type your waste is, check it in the waste search using a search word.
  • If your load contains waste that is subject to a charge, please choose the correct waste amount, and you will be charged according to the amount.
  • After you have entered all the waste in your load, scroll to the end of the page and click “jatka” (“continue”).
  • Your screen will then show a summary of your registration entries.
  • Please add your vehicle’s registration number to your account information, because it will be used to allow you entry to the facilities. You can add more than one registration number into the app.
  • Choose your preferred payment method or add another payment card and click “maksa” (“pay”). No changes can be made after this. For this reason, make sure to pay only after you have entered all your waste.
  • Now you have two days to take your waste to RE-point. If you don’t, your account will not be charged.
