MinRenovasjon vs Varsom

The app MinRenovasjon gives you an overview of when your waste is collected and an option to get push notifications so that you remember to get the waste containers ready. The app also provides information about waste sorting and recycling stations in your municipality. Several municipalities have activated the messaging function in the app so that you can report deficiencies or needs. If this function is available in your municipality, this will be visible in the app. Some municipalities also offer additional services - including information about your waste containers, waste collection history and fees. The app provides access to emptying calendars in almost 200 of Norway's 356 municipalities.

About Varsom Improve planning for winter trips into the hills and mountains or on frozen lakes. Prevent damage from floods with better knowledge. Report where you have seen avalanches. Together we can save lives and reduce damages due to avalanches, floods, landslides and dangerous ice conditions. This app gathers in one place the most important features from the Varsom Platform needed in the outdoors, for field inspections and for readiness, crisis management and rescue situations. Observations from regobs.no, warnings from varsom.no, and support maps from xgeo.no and iskart.no are included. The app is also available in English, such that visitors from abroad may read and submit observations, as well as receive warnings. As a bonus, the app now works well outside Norway. Varsom and the warning services for avalanches, landslides, ice conditions and floods are services provided by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) in co-operation with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
