Waste Sorting at Roskilde Festival

Here you can find an overview of the new waste sorting

As something new, participants at Roskilde Festival 2024 have to sort their waste in the camping areas. 

Four categories 

The waste should be sorted into the following four categories (fractions): 

  • Glass 
  • Metal 
  • Plastic and food and beverage cartons 
  • Residual waste 

The new garbage bags 

The bags are printed with a colored pictogram and a short text that guides which waste should be in the respective bag. 

Camping hosts will distribute bags to the camps in the camping areas. Participants can get more garbage bags at the sorting stations and at the towers. 

Handing in of bags 

Filled garbage bags are closed and handed in to the nearest recycling station. The closed bags can also be placed on the road by the camp, where it will be picked up by volunteers. 

Handing in of larger and hazardous waste 

At the sorting stations in all camping areas, participants can, in addition to the four fractions, also dispose paper and hazardous waste such as electronics and batteries (Saturday and Wednesday), as well as larger items such as broken tents and chairs.
