What is the Waste Collection Service?
Need to get rid of waste quickly? This waste collection service is designed to make the process smooth and efficient, especially when using a crane truck. It’s all about making sure the collection happens without a hitch, so the waste is picked up fast and hassle-free. The service focuses on clear guidelines to ensure the crane truck can do its job properly, avoiding delays or extra fees. Whether it’s a residential area or a tricky spot, the goal is to keep things moving and waste off your hands.
Main Benefits of the Crane Truck Collection
Here’s what makes this service stand out:
- Access road must be at least 3 meters wide, no sharp turns or obstacles.
- If the road is narrow, an extra fee of 1500 NOK applies for special vehicle use.
- Bags should be placed at ground level within 8 meters from the crane truck for easy lifting.
- Optimal placement is on the walkway by the road, parking lot near the road, or as close to the roadside as possible.
- The crane must have clear access—no power lines, obstacles, or vegetation in the way.
- Roads must be cleared during winter months to ensure access.
- Avoid placing bags on steep or slippery slopes.
- Bags should be filled to the top but not overfilled, and waste must be sorted according to the waste guide.
Important Guidelines to Follow
Following the guidelines is key to avoiding extra charges. If the rules aren’t met, fees can add up quickly. For example, lifting bags down from heights costs 299 NOK per bag, and incorrectly placed bags that the crane can’t reach also cost 299 NOK each. Overfilled bags come with a 379 NOK fee, and failed trips or switching to a smaller crane truck will set you back 995 NOK. Sorting errors? That’s 1695 NOK minimum. And mixing batteries with waste? That’s a hefty 10,000 NOK fee. So, sticking to the rules really pays off.
Handling Challenging Locations
Sometimes, waste collection spots aren’t perfect. But don’t worry—this service is flexible. They’re happy to try collecting from more difficult locations, just give them a heads-up in advance at kundeservice@avfallsekk.no. This way, they can prepare and avoid surprises. It’s all about making sure the collection goes smoothly, no matter the challenge.
Collection Without a Crane in Eastern Norway
In some parts of Eastern Norway, there’s an option to collect waste without using a crane. This is great news because the usual access restrictions don’t apply here. Small sprinter vans can get almost anywhere, making it easier to collect waste from spots that might be tricky for bigger vehicles. So, if you’re in that area, this could be a convenient alternative.
