What Innherred Renovasjon does

Revenue is generated through subscription-based waste collection fees billed to households (annual cadence, shifting to quarterly from 2025) and commercial customers (Næring, monthly cadence), supplemented by fees for specialized services and free-of-charge access to recycling stations for items not fitting household bins. The firm is privately held by its nine municipal owners, is not listed on any exchange, and was recognized in 2024 by Sirkel as Norway's best supplier of glass and metal packaging. Headcount is reported in the 51–100 range, and the company participates in the EcoPro AS umbrella organization for Central Norway waste companies.
