Garbage Chute (Household & Food Waste)
-
Location: Available on all floors in the stairwells. Ground-floor residents use the garbage chute in the nearest entrance.
-
Food waste: Must be disposed of in green bags. These are available in the laundry room, in a cardboard box to the left of the drying cabinets. The bags are free and must only contain food waste.
-
Household garbage: Dispose of in your own securely tied plastic bags.
-
Close the hatch: Always close the hatch properly after use, otherwise the vacuum system will stop working.
-
System blockages: Never throw large items or pizza boxes into the chute. Every blockage costs the association a 1,300 SEK call-out fee.
The Association's Recycling & Bulky Waste Rooms (Archway at port 14)
-
Bulky waste: Large and dry waste from your apartment and storage unit can be disposed of here after sorting (no construction waste or food waste).
-
Important regarding full containers: Trash must not be placed on the floor next to the containers. The association is charged an extra fee every time this happens. If the containers are full, you must wait a few days and try again. The bulky waste is normally emptied twice a week on weekdays (may be reduced to once during short weeks/holidays).
-
Electronics recycling: Located in the basement area of the archway. Leave batteries, lightbulbs, small electronics, and small household appliances here.

Forbidden (Large appliances): Stoves, washing machines, and similar large white goods may not be left here. These must be transported to the recycling center.
