In Denmark the municipality is responsible for taking care of the waste disposal. In Copenhagen The Waste Disposal Company of 1898 is granted the concession regarding collection of the household waste from the citizens of the municipality. According to R98 the tenants in Copenhagen (and Denmark) are focused on separating and recycling waste because of the impact the waste has on the environment. In Copenhagen 29 per cent of the total household waste is recycled (for more information in English see www.r98.dk/english).
