Recycling Centre Likke

Everyone is welcome here. We see diversity as a treasure – just as each item we sell is unique. We do not frown upon diversity, we admire it. We are all a little different and that is exactly as it should be.

Stand out of the masses and be kind. That is what we do.

We accept good-quality recycled items as donations at the Limingantulli Recycling Centre Likke and Rusko Waste Management Centre’s recovery station.

We accept donated items

Donate old treasures from decades ago or brand-new items. We accept different pieces of furniture, household items and construction equipment – items that could become somebody else’s treasure.

Please note that the staff will always decide whether or not the donation is accepted.

Textile donation and collection

Do you have clean, usable textiles that you have no use for? Bring them to the Recycling Centre Likke! Donated textiles and clothes will be sold in Likke’s shop.

Bring us your well-loved and worn textiles for end-of-life textile collection. You may bring 1–4 plastic shopping bags of textile at once to Recycling Centre Likke or Rusko Waste Management Centre’s collection point. Read more about end-of-life textile collection.

Kiertokaari collects approximately 10 000 kilograms of end-of-life textile every month. We recycle all end-of-life textiles and choose the ones that can still be used. Some are utilized as material for new textiles, some are used as garage rags, and some are sold as they are for re-use. Only a fraction is abandoned and utilized in energy production in the Laanila Biopower Plant.

Recycling security documents

In order to ease the everyday life of our customers, we offer some extra services at Likke on top of the shop and loaning. We also accept confidential documents (security documents) at Likke during opening times. The service is subject to a charge. Read more about the recycling of security documents (in Finnish).

We organize different events and campaigns where you can participate in the activities of the Recycling Centre and get excited about recycling.

All the best things have already been made

We get super excited when an item that is useless to someone finds a new life with someone else. We are building the most surprising and beloved recycling centre in Finland together with our customers and businesses.

We believe that the best items are the ones that have already been made. Together we can keep them in use for a long time. With some repairs and cleaning. Patch up and mend them. Cherishing makes items ageless.

Create it to be beautiful and fine and use it until the end before throwing it out. Never mind, do not throw it out, re-use it as material for something new. Recycling and using recycled items is rewarding. With us, you can do it safely. We help you recognize valuable items. We offer guidance and advice – to help you make wise choices.
