Hand in sources for recycling / radioactive waste

If you are a user of radioactive materials, you are legally obligated to deliver the radioactive waste to Danish Decommissioning. We are responsible for processing and storing the waste.

We accept smoke alarms, solid and liquid radioactive material, and open and closed radioactive sources. The waste must be of Danish origin. We do not accept NORM waste (NORM refers to material containing naturally occurring radioactive substances that exceed the exemption levels set by The Danish Health Authority and comes from the English term Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material).

The process for transferring waste to us is as follows:

1. 1. You register the waste items via this website – see more information below.
   2. We prepare internally for the acceptance of the waste and will contact you with any questions.
   3. You will receive an acknowledgment confirming that the waste can be transferred to us, along with contact information.
   4. You contact us to arrange the date and time for the transfer.
   5. You are responsible for transporting and delivering the waste on the agreed date and at the agreed time (usually between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.)

Notification of Waste Items
To notify a delivery, you must log in here on the page and complete an online form where you describe the waste and document its contents as thoroughly as possible.

The first time you register radioactive waste, you must create a user profile to log in. During the process of creating your user profile and registering waste, you will receive emails from our website system.

If you have any questions, please contact us by email at affald@dekom.dk or by phone at 46 33 63 58 on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
