Renovation, Spring cleaning | All homeowners in Larvik should be aware of this: – It is no longer possible to use plastic bags

After a long and cold winter, there is no doubt that spring is here in earnest. Then the larvikings go out into their respective gardens and outdoor areas to rake, mow, clean and groom the property so that it will be nice and inviting for the wonderful time we have ahead of us.

But when the job is done, you must of course have a place to dispose of all the garden waste.

Fortunately, the municipality has a system for that.

Must be ready

Next week, i.e. starting next Monday, the garden waste will be collected around, or rather: outside, the thousand homes. Collection takes place on the same day as plastic and metal waste is emptied, Larvik municipality states on its website.

– The bags must be ready for collection from 06.00 on the collection day. This year, garden waste is also included in the collection calendar in the MinRenovasjon app for those who use it, writes the municipality.

For those who have emptying day on Thursdays, it is important to remember to put out both containers and garden waste the day before, because of Ascension Day.

Paper sacks

Previously, garden waste could be delivered in plastic bags. This is no longer possible, and such bags will not be collected.

– Have you forgotten to order paper bags? The service square is unfortunately empty of paper bags. These are available for sale in various shops, writes the municipality.

Garden waste is defined as twigs, bark and leaves/grass. Stone, gravel, soil, larger roots and branches are not collected.
