Sortavixa
Households across Switzerland have used Sortavixa to simplify their waste sorting routines and stay compliant with local regulations. Here is what some of our users have shared about their experience with the platform. We are proud to have made a practical difference to families, flatshares, and individuals managing waste across different cantons.
“I moved from Bern to a small commune near Lucerne last year and had absolutely no idea how the local waste system worked. The rules were completely different from what I was used to. Sortavixa explained everything clearly — the bag types required, where to take glass, and when the organic collection runs. Within a week I felt fully on top of it, which was a real relief after a stressful move.”— Miriam Stebler
“As someone who cares about sustainability, I always tried to sort correctly, but I was genuinely unsure about things like aluminium foil and blister packs from medication. Sortavixa answered those questions with specific, local guidance rather than vague generalities. I also appreciated that the information is kept up to date — I noticed a change in my commune's organic waste rules was reflected on the site within a few weeks of the official announcement.”— Davide Ferretti
“The collection schedule reminders have been very useful for our household. We used to miss the paper collection regularly because it only comes once a month and the date shifts slightly. Getting a notification the evening before has completely solved that problem. The site itself is clean and easy to navigate even for my parents, who are not particularly comfortable with technology.”— Petra Vonderschmidt
“I used the hazardous waste section when I had leftover paint and old fluorescent tubes to dispose of after a renovation. Sortavixa told me exactly where the nearest collection points were and confirmed which items my commune accepts on its mobile collection day. That saved me a lot of time searching through the municipal website, which is frankly quite difficult to follow in places.”— Samuel Aubry
“The COâ‚‚ savings tracker is a small but motivating feature. It is nice to see a number attached to what would otherwise feel like an invisible contribution. I showed it to my flatmates and it sparked a genuine conversation about reducing our overall waste, not just sorting what we already generate. We have since switched to a local veg box to cut down on packaging, which Sortavixa also prompted us to consider.”— Leonie Brunschwig
Sortavixa helps Swiss residents sort household waste correctly, follow recycling schedules, and adopt sustainable disposal habits across all cantons.
