Keräyspäivän

Keräyspäivän is a Finnish term that translates to "collection day" or "pickup day". It most commonly refers to the scheduled day when waste and recycling bins are emptied by municipal or private waste management services. The specific keräyspäivä can vary depending on the type of waste, such as mixed waste, paper, cardboard, glass, metal, or biowaste, and also on the residential area. Residents are typically expected to place their bins on the curb or at a designated collection point by a certain time on their keräyspäivä to ensure pickup.

Beyond waste collection, the term keräyspäivän can also be used in other contexts involving scheduled collections. For example, it might refer to days designated for collecting specific items for donation or reuse, such as clothes drives or electronics recycling events. In these instances, keräyspäivän signifies the operational period for these particular collection efforts. Understanding the local keräyspäivä is important for proper household management and participation in municipal services. Information about specific collection schedules is usually provided by local authorities or waste management companies through mail, websites, or mobile applications.
