Dispose of the card

How to dispose of your physical Rejsekort Recommendation: dispose of the card in residual waste

As a starting point, your Rejsekort must be disposed of in residual waste, both at home and at the recycling station (small combustible waste). If you are in doubt, you must follow the waste rules in your municipality. The Rejsekort consists of plastic with a built-in chip that contains metal. The materials cannot be separated, and therefore the card cannot be sorted as plastic.
