### Turn festive food fat into fuel

If you’re roasting Christmas ham, turkey or fish, you can put your waste fat in a milk or juice carton and take it into the nearest [Kinkkutemppu collection point](https://www.kinkkutemppu.com/). They’ll turn the fat into biofuel! Whatever you do, please keep in mind you shouldn’t pour the fat down the drain.

### Wrapping paper sorted as mixed waste

Colourful wrapping paper is sorted as either mixed waste or energy waste. Any kraft paper or recycled brown paper, which has been used to wrap Christmas presents, can be put in cardboard recycling.

### Where should you put your tree after Christmas?

In many municipalities Christmas trees can be left next to the rubbish collection point where they’ll be picked up for free. This varies across Finland, however, so please check your local waste management practices online:
