    Refuse Centers for Housing Cooperatives

    BRFs have special needs for waste solutions.

    How large a refuse center is needed?

    Depends on: number of households (calculate 0.5-1 sqm per 10 households), emptying frequency, number of fractions.

    Placement

    Accessibility for residents (max 50m from the entrance), accessibility for waste collection (turning radius for trucks), aesthetics (not directly by the entrance).

    Aesthetics and Facade

    Choose facade materials that match existing buildings. Cembrit, wood paneling, or plaster.

    Economy

    Initial cost: 200,000 - 400,000 kr. Long-term investment that increases value. Possible municipal grants.
