Waste in office environments

All employees are responsible for disposing of waste on days without cleaning services.

  • Paper waste must be collected in printer/photocopy rooms or similar.
  • Confidential papers must be disposed of in special containers. You can order one at the maintenance office.
  • Residual waste must be disposed of in kitchen waste bins or similar (it is possible to use special collecting bags to collect residual waste in offices).
  • Electronic waste must be handed over to the local IT support.

Please ask your local maintenance office about how to dispose of glass and bottles, bulky waste and hazardous waste.

Collecting bags

You may obtain collecting bags by asking the cleaning staff or checking the supply in the nearest kitchen. Please direct further questions at your local cleaning staff.

Location of waste stations

Waste stations are large containers that can hold a lot of waste at once. Employees may use a waste station if they need to dispose of more waste than fit for local waste bins.
