Waste must be sorted on delivery to the landfill site in accordance with receiving terms.

Customers pay for waste according to weight (ISK/kg) according to the price list.

Price list

A special surcharge is added, 30% of the fee for a load or a minimum of ISK 45759,00, if the waste and/or delivery is not in accordance with acceptance requirements.

Odour polluting waste is not accepted after 12:00 (noon).

Baled waste is not accepted if it is covered with plastic or other material.

Waste is accepted in exchange for cash payment or on presentation of a business card. The processing fee at the landfill site at Álfsnes is a minimum of ISK 3605,00 including VAT.

Service process

On arrival to the SORPA landfill site, an examination is made of the weight where the employee of the landfill site greets the customer.
The customer is under obligation to provide information about the nature and origin of the waste.
The SORPA employee escorts the customer to the dumping site and verifies the sorting.
On the way out, the weight is reviewed and the procedure completed.
