When emptying, the containers should be placed with the handle facing the place where the garbage truck stops to empty the containers. Your containers should be placed at the site boundary on the emptying day, just like before.

The electrical box is included in the home sorting

Elbox för sortering av mindre ljuskällor, småelektronik och batterierIn the included electrical box, you sort smaller light sources, small electronics and batteries. Store the electrical box indoors to facilitate collection and to avoid rainwater in the battery compartment, as this can create a safety risk when emptying and handling the box. Hang the electrical box on any waste container when it needs to be emptied.
