The waste collection services provided by Salpakierro are operating normally, but there are also households in the area that buy from the companies on strike.

The transport strike also affects waste management. In Päijät-Häme, the majority of property owners have direct contracts with companies for waste transport. The companies covered by the strike include Lassila

However, waste transport organised by the municipal waste management company Salpakierro is operating normally. The contractors used by Salpakierro are not covered by the strike which started today, Wednesday.

Salpakierto takes care of mixed and energy waste transport in, for example, the urban agglomerations of Heinola and Orimattila.
