How to dispose of bulky waste

Leaving bulky waste at unstaffed recycling points pollutes the area and your neighborhood. It's easier to order free collection.

What happens to bulky waste?

Appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, and stoves are sent to recycling facilities where hazardous parts are removed and various metals and plastics are recovered and used in new products.

Furniture that is still usable can be sold at IVAR’s reuse shop. If it's damaged, it goes to energy recovery, which provides district heating in the Stavanger region. Metals are sorted and sent for recycling.
