In 1980 the Kristiansand region, wich contains Kristiansand, Vennesla, Søgne and Sogndalen, founded a renovation council that was working with several detailed statements and enterprises in the renovation-section.

 The first missions for the board was to work out a status for the renovation-solutions in the region. The Randesund industrial waste ground was established in 1982 by private businesses in the industrial area, for regaining of paper, metal, plastic, glass, wood and so forth.

 During 1983-1984 it was made detailed statements project for different sizes and shapes for burningplant in Vennesla. However, the plans stranded when Vennesla county in September 1984 went against the proposal of establishing a new burningplant at Hunsfos factory. It was the fear of increasing air pollution that was behind this resistans.
When the plans for the burningplant was shelved in –85, was an "Actionplan for increased regaining in the Kristiansandregion" confirmed.

 Even with increased reuse, they assumed that the two rubbish heaps in the Kristiansand-region, wasn’t enough. After 35 different alternatives for a new rubbish-heap had been evaluated, the decision was Stöleheia.

The waste-quantity prognosis for deposit is going to increase from 39.000 tonns/year in 1990, to 45.400 tonns/year in 2010. This corresponds to a yearly rate of filling from 65.000 m³ in 1990 to 75.500 m³ in 2010. It’s also received 7.800m³ sludge for composting, in a separate area of the waste-ground. This corresponds to a 46 year operating time.

  The facility's planned cost was about 80 million crowns, with a 7 million crowns yearly operating cost. The final result was closer to 140 million crowns, with an operating cost nearly 60 percent higher than budgeted. 5 million crowns has uptodate been used for consulting.

The facility opened in 1996.
