Waste collection: Information in English
The residents of Säter Municipality have contributed to the efforts to ensure a sustainable societyin a number of ways. We help each other safeguard our environment, climate and living conditions!
By sorting and disposing of food waste separately, you facilitate a natural cycle. You are part of creating good conditions for your own and future generations. Our environment is valuable and you make a difference.
Be kind to the environment – we have to live in it: sort your waste!
Waste is collected and taken away by a collection vehicle with two compartments. One for food waste and one for residual waste. Combustible residual waste is anything that cannot be sorted and sent for recycling.
All households, organizations, and businesses should sort their food waste instead of mixing it with the residual waste in the normal waste bin.
The food waste is then converted into biogas and organic biofertiliser. We use biogas in our cars and other vehicles, and we use biofertiliser to fertilise crops. You do some good with every banana peel. Every kilo of food waste makes a difference. One bag of food waste generates enough fuel for a biogas car to drive 4 kilometres. Together we will do great things for the environment.
Where and how should the bin be placed?
- Put out your waste bin no later than 05:00 AM on the collection day or the evening before.
- The bin must be placed in clear sight on a flat and solid surface and without any obstacles that would hinder the collectors in their work.
- The food waste bin should be placed beside the residual waste bin in the same way, with the opening towards the road.
- There must be free space of half a metre around the bin and a clear height of 4.5 metres above it.
- Park any vehicles so they do not obstruct waste collection.
- If you only have collection during part of the year, you should store your bins in a sheltered space during the months when you are not staying at the property. This is to avoid them being damaged by, for example, a plow or another vehicle if they blow over.
Food waste and combustible residual waste
The food waste bin offered holds 140 litres and is emptied every other week. For residual waste, the choice is either to have the bin emptied every other week or once a
month.
To cover the costs of fixed expenditures, such as transporting sorted bulky waste to the recycling center (applies to households), customer service, and administration, households must pay a basic fee of 1,436 SEK (2024).
Food waste
What exactly counts as food waste? Basically you can say that food waste is what is left on the cutting board when you have cooked your food and whatever is left on the plate after you have eaten. It also includes food that is expired and inedible in your fridge or pantry.
Combustible residual waste
Combustible residual waste is the waste leftover after you have sorted packaging, food waste, bulky waste, electrical waste and hazardous waste. Examples of what you can throw in the residual waste container: cigarette butts, tobacco and snus, candle stumps and shoes envelopes, post-it notes, toothbrushes, ear buds, diapers and sanitary pads.
Recycling stations
At recycling stations, you can dispose of packaging and newspapers. These are found at several locations in the municipality.
The recycling centre
At the recycling centre in Jönshyttan you can dispose of waste such as plastics, paper, garden waste, environmentally hazardous waste, metal, stone and ceramics, glass and much more. Our staff will be happy to help answer any question and show you how to sort correctly.
