In Denmark, sorting and recycling waste and garbage is an everyday practice. By sorting our waste properly, we can contribute towards its reuse. Materials such as glass, plastic, metal, paper and small cardboard items can be recycled and transformed into new products.
Residual waste should always be disposed of in trash bags, securely tied with a knot.
Please ensure that you are familiar with the waste sorting process. If needed, you can ask the caretaker or your dorm mates to locate the appropriate containers.
"Pant" is a Danish system for recycling cans and bottles. Each time you buy drinks in cans or bottles with a deposit mark, you pay a deposit named 'pant'.
You get your deposit back by returning empty cans and bottles using reversed vending machines in your local supermarket.
The Danish deposit mark is a series of dots under two arrows in a circle. The letter in the deposit mark indicates how much you pay and therefore, how much you will get back when returning the bottle.
On top of your bed, there is a top mattress and waterproof cover. In addition to this, you will be provided with a mattress protector when you pick up your keys. These covers are designed to protect your bed and maintain hygiene standards. You can find the names of the covers and their proper order in the image below.
Please note, that for hygienic reasons it is mandatory to use a bed sheet on top of the mattress protector.
Before you move out, please wash the waterproof cover and arrange the covers in the correct order as shown in the image. Furthermore, kindly dispose of the mattress protector or take it with you when you leave. Failure to do so will result in a garbage fee.
