We are happy to deliver waste containers from our waste container service to your property free of charge. The customer only pays for the waste collection, that is to say each time a waste container is emptied and the waste removed.

The waste containers are owned by Puhas Oy and may not be sold or removed from the property. The customer is responsible for waste container maintenance, including washing the container, snow removal and anti-slip measures.

Area waste collection points are intended for collection of combustible waste.

They mainly serve leisure homes and holiday apartments. Additionally, permanent homes may also be signed up to utilising an area waste collection point, if they generate a small amount of waste, the property is situated in a very remote location or sharing a waste container with others is not feasible. In such cases, please contact our customer service.

The area waste collection points are locked, and you will get the first access key to your nearest area waste collection point free of charge.
