Recycling and waste disposal
Recycling of usable items
It is strictly prohibited to leave items in stairwells. This causes a fire safety hazard and the storing of items in the corridors is prohibited by the Rescue Act.
Potential ways to recycle your goods on social media in the Otaniemi area include Teekkari Village’s Market on facebook and Giving away free stuff and Otaniemi buy/sell groups in Telegram messaging service. In addition, there is a Food giveaway group specialising in food waste reduction.
At Aalto Marketplace you can also try to sell or give away items.
Recycling of clothes
Re-usable and clean clothes can be delivered in plastic bags to the UFF container in the yard of Otakaari 20. Clothes must be clean and packed in closed plastic bags. More information about the clothes collection organisation can be found on the UFF website .
Waste management
Our aim is to provide residents with the opportunity to recycle as much as they like in AYY properties. Recycling instructions can be found next to the recycling bins and the ground floor lobbies in the staircases. You can also find current instructions on the HSY site. The map of recycling points in Otaniemi can be found at the bottom of the page.
Special waste
Dumpsters
AYY dumpsters are located at Servin Maijan tie 8 and Jämeräntaival 6, when the month changes. To these dumpsters you can bring larger waste, which is too big to fit in the normal bin. Please recycle electrical appliances to electronic waste instead of dumpsters.
Electronic waste
Electronic recycling is located in the courtyard of Otakaari 20. The recycling point is located in a separate building in the courtyard. Enter using the door on the right.
