Ekologinen vastuu

Haluamme tarjota Tampereen seudun kotitalouksille ja yhteisöille vaivattoman ja luotettavan foorumin ylimääräiseksi jääneen tavaran kierrättämiselle ja ekologisesti kestävien edullisten ostosten tekemiselle. Yhteistyökumppaniemme kanssa pyrimme jatkuvasti kehittämään uusia tapoja hyödyntää kierrätysmateriaaleja ja luomaan kiertotaloutta edistävää liiketoimintaa.

Vuonna 2022 noin 512 000 tavaraa ja vaatetta löysi kauttamme uuden kodin ja pääsi uudelleenkäyttöön. Tämä luku pitää sisällään kaikki myydyt tuotteet eli huonekalut, sähkö- ja elektroniikkalaitteet, astiat ja muut kodin esineet sekä vaatteet ja tekstiilit. Kiertotaloustoiminnassa ympäristöä säästävin keino on tuotteen käyttäminen uudelleen sen alkuperäisessä käyttötarkoituksessa, eli vaikkapa tuoli käytetään tuolina.

Uudelleenkäyttö 65 % 650 000 kg

Kierrätys materiaaliksi 20 % 200 000 kg

Lämmöksi ja energiaksi 15 % 150 000 kg

MATERIAALIVIRTOJEN JAKAUTUMINEN VUONNA 2022

What goods can you give as a gift?

We accept intact, clean and recyclable furniture from homes and offices. We ask that clothes, shoes, accessories, textiles and handicraft and craft supplies be delivered primarily to Nextiil, which operates in the same commercial building as the Lielahti recycling center. If Lielahti is not on your trip, you can of course also bring your donation to the Nekala and Lentola recycling centers.
Can you come and empty an entire apartment or office space?

Yes. We pack and empty estates, business premises, offices and warehouses inexpensively. We always evaluate larger batches of goods in advance - contact us to make an agreement by phone on 045 882 4066 or by e-mail at kuvesti@pirkanmaankierratys.fi. Our website also has a collection form for contacting us.
What happens to the donated item?

The goods are carefully sorted and everything usable is tried to find a new owner through recycling stores or partners. All usable material is separated from unsalable goods and delivered for reuse. Material unsuitable for reuse as energy fraction is delivered to Tammervoima's utility power plant to produce electricity and district heating.
Where can I take the non-recyclable item?

We offer a paid waste station service for goods that are not salable or for which there is no demand through recycling centers. You can also deliver non-recyclable items sorted to local waste stations or waste points. You can order the waste station service using the pick-up form or kuvetis@pirkanmaankierratys.fi. You can also call the transport directly at P. 045 882 4066.
Do you accept building materials and supplies?

Unfortunately, at the moment we can only accept building materials and
Why is recycling worth it?

The environmental footprint of a used object is minimal compared to a new one. The reuse of materials, on the other hand, saves the environment by reducing the need for virgin raw materials and energy, and at the same time it also creates new products, services and technology and thus creates new jobs. Since a large part of the industry's raw materials are imported goods, recycling materials is also an investment in the Finnish national economy.
Where can I find more information about recycling and sorting?

It is possible to recycle most of the objects in households as well as the waste generated in households. Read here what all household movables are accepted by recycling centers. Pirkanmaa Jätehuolto's sorting guide, on the other hand, tells you which garbage belongs where. You can conveniently find the nearest recycling point for your sorted waste on the Internet at krýrtys.info.
How do I donate stuff for recycling?

You can bring donations to our stores during their opening hours or order a collection service for larger batches of goods using the form on our website or by phone 045 882 4066. In connection with the transport, if necessary, we offer a low-cost waste station service for goods that are not suitable for the stores or the association's utilization. In this case, the customer can effortlessly get rid of the entire batch of goods at the same time.
