suurjätettä

Suurjätettä, a Finnish term, refers to bulky waste or large household items that do not fit into regular garbage bins. These are typically items that consumers discard at the end of their lifespan, such as old furniture, appliances, mattresses, and large electronic devices. Proper disposal of suurjätettä is important for environmental reasons and to maintain the cleanliness of urban areas.

Many municipalities in Finland organize regular collection days for suurjätettä, or provide designated collection points where residents can bring their bulky waste. These collection services are often free or offered at a minimal charge to encourage proper disposal. The collected items are then sorted for recycling, reuse, or appropriate disposal, often at specialized waste management facilities.

Items commonly considered suurjätettä include sofas, tables, chairs, refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, and large plastic items. Smaller items that can fit into standard waste bins are not categorized as suurjätettä. Some waste management providers may have specific guidelines on what constitutes suurjätettä and how it should be prepared for collection, such as dismantling certain items or placing them in a designated area. The goal of managing suurjätettä is to divert as much material as possible from landfills and to recover valuable resources through recycling and reuse.
