Reykjanesbær, Grindavíkurbær, Suðurnesjabær and Sveitarfélagið Vogar own and operate together, a partnership with unlimited liability under the name Kalka sorpeyðingarstöð sf (Suðurnes Incinerator Authority). Its home and venue is in Reykjanesbær. The purpose of the company is to own and operate the reception-sorting and waste incineration plant Kalka in Helguvík. Furthermore, to provide services in the field of waste management and waste reception in the municipalities and other tasks that the municipalities may entrust to the company, in the field of waste and recycling.

As of April 1, 2004, the company moved its operations to a new reception sorting and incineration plant in Helguvík called Kalka. All waste is received from the municipalities, residents and companies in the plant's area of ​​operation according to a tariff. There is also a container area for the public as well as in Grindavík and Vogar, where the residents of the area can bring waste from homes for recycling and destruction.

The Kalka incineration plant is declared to be able to incinerate up to 12,300 tonnes of waste per year and has very perfect smoke purification equipment to keep pollution from the plant to a minimum.

Other waste generated in the Suðurnes region is partly sent for recycling and / or landfilling. The aim is to increase the recycling rate here in Suðurnes.

The incineration plant is also equipped to dispose of contaminated waste as well as various categories of hazardous waste that fall into this country.

When the Kalka incineration plant was taken into use in 2004, the company's then board decided to work on a new image of the plant, including a new name for the new plant and the company's new logo. The name refers to a guard called Kalka and divided countries among the 4 municipalities in Suðurnes but has now disappeared under runways at Keflavík Airport. It was whitewashed in color and was a landmark of the sea. It will also guide us into the future of the environment. The logo consists of several broken yellow circles that are supposed to represent the continuous cycle of life, but the yellow color represents the harvest of going well with natural riches.

The old station by Hafnavegur, which was built in 1979 and was in many ways perfect in its time and a great revolution in the waste management of the people of Suðurnes, but has ended its role after almost 25 years of successful service. The Kalka incineration plant is no less a major breakthrough and brings the people of Suðurnes to the forefront in the field of waste treatment, recycling and disposal.
