Lack of waste disposal stations

Despite a law requiring municipalities to provide waste disposal stations for motorhomes, enacted 30 years ago, there is still a shortage. The Norwegian Motorhome Association highlights the lack of funding for such facilities.

Legal consequences

The law was tightened in 1996, but many municipalities have yet to meet the requirements. Citizens have the right to file complaints against local authorities with regional administrations.

The editor of Bobilverden.no suggests municipalities reserve some regular parking spaces for motorhomes, adding signs and ensuring access to dump stations.
