Operational waste at Rödsta recycling centre

As a waste depositor/transporter, you should know what you are depositing in order to be able to register the load on the correct type of waste. We check the waste you have left regularly. If we see that a load does not correspond to what was declared at the time of weighing in, we will reclassify it and you will be charged for the correct type of waste. This usually applies to waste that is classified as combustible, but turns out to contain non-combustible waste and metal as well. It is then reclassified as unsorted waste, which is more expensive.

At the bottom of the page is a leaflet with tips and information on what to think about when dropping off your waste. It is also available in printed form at Rödsta ÅVC.

In case of misplacement

Hazardous waste and electrical waste must not be mixed with other waste. If such waste is detected, a fee of SEK 2,476/litre excluding VAT will be charged for incorrect sorting and the litre will also be charged after the fee for unsorted waste.

We accept a wide range of waste. Below are examples of the most common types of waste. See detailed price list at the bottom.

From 1 November 2020, establishments must start reporting recorded data on hazardous waste to the new waste register at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

This means that when you, as a business owner, come to Rödsta ÅVC with hazardous waste, you must know what it is and how much it is so that we, in turn, as recipients, can report it to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket). We are also able to weigh the waste if necessary.

More information is available at the links at the bottom.

In the case of electrical waste, which is always classified as hazardous waste, the Electricity Circuit has developed a system for registering it. El-Kretsen is the organisation that collects electrical waste on behalf of the producers and the collectors of electrical waste at Rödsta ÅVC.

Before you bring your electrical waste to Rödsta ÅVC, you must create a delivery certificate. You can do this on this page: Create a delivery certificate
Or via the Electricity District's "Operational waste" app. Read more here. External link, opens in new window.

There you can fill in the type of electrical waste you want to deliver, its estimated weight, where the waste was generated and contact and company details. Then show this certificate to the staff at Rödsta ÅVC.
