Waste from holiday homes is sorted in the same way as at home and there are a number of options available for dealing with combustible waste in your holiday home:
If you spend a lot of time at your holiday home and there is a road leading to it, most convenient is to have your own waste container for the property. An emptying contract must be made with a waste transport company for the duration of your sta and the waste container must be emptied in accordance with the waste management regulations. The waste transport companies invoice the transport and treatment fee for the combustible waste container.
Contact details of the waste transport companies
Emptying intervals according to waste management regulations
The waste container for combustible waste must be emptied at least once every two weeks according to the waste management regulations. In winter (October to the end of April), the emptying interval can be a maximum of four weeks if the waste can fit into the waste container. For one- and two-person households, that produce little waste, the emptying interval can be four weeks all year round.
Composting biowaste
If biowaste is composted at the residence, the South Ostrobothnia Waste Board must be notified. If you compost biowaste in a heat-insulated compost bin, the Waste Board may grant upon an an extended emptying interval. The emptying interval can then be a maximum of eight weeks.

Two or more neighboring properties can agree on a common waste bin. In some areas where holiday homes are densely located, there might be common waste bins under the auspices of holiday homes associations, road administrative committees or village committees. A written notification about shared containers is submitted to the Suupohja's waste committee.

Holiday homeowners can obtain a key for locked containers for combustible waste. There are locked containers located at more than 20 eco-points in Botniarosk's area. These bins are primarily used when it is difficult to maintain your own waste bin, for example due to poor road connections. A usage fee is charged for the use of the locked containers.
How to start using the locked bins
Combustible waste from holiday homes can be delivered to recycling stations all year round during their opening hours. A fee is charged for the combustible waste.
Price list for recycling stations
Addresses and opening hours of recycling stations
If the journey home is shorter than to the recycling station or if the waste container at home is a more natural alternative due to other connections, the combustible waste can be placed in the waste container of your permanent residence. The waste container at home must be emptied in accordance with the waste management regulations.
Daily waste from the holiday home that cannot be recycled is sorted as combustible waste and taken to your preferred collection point.
Waste sorted as combustible waste
Hazardous waste, electrical and electronic waste, landfill waste, recyclable waste and larger objects, such as furniture, are taken to a recycling station.
If the residential building is in a rural area or is located in an urban area, but consists of less than 5 apartments, separate collection of paper and packaging waste is not required, these types of waste can be taken to the nearest ecopoint.
Waste paper, metal and glass packaging can be taken to the nearest Botniarosk or Rinki ecopoint. In addition to paper, metal and glass packaging, Rinki ecopoints also collect carton packaging as well as plastic packaging at some of their ecopoints.
Large quantities of waste are delivered to the waste center in Teuva. Household waste, that does not belong in the waste bin at the residential building or at the ecopoints, is mainly delivered to the recycling station. As a rule of thumb, a car trailer with waste belongs at the recycling station, while a tractor trailer with a single type of waste is left at the waste centre.
