Cabin waste collection

In Arendal and Grimstad, cabin waste is collected from Easter (no later than April 1st) until October 31st.
In Froland, waste is collected year-round.

Cabin waste is charged at 60% of the full waste fee, but the fee is divided into four invoices throughout the year.

Waste collection setup

Most cabins are connected to shared waste collection points.
Cabins located along roads accessible year-round may have individual bins.
Cabins with individual bins have a light grey lid on the residual waste bin.
These cabins may opt for year-round waste collection by choosing either:

Standard subscription (black lid on residual waste bin)
Mini subscription (yellow lid on residual waste bin)

Cabins connected to shared collection points cannot order individual bins to be placed alongside shared containers.
