Gunnarsbyn recycling center

What you can leave

At the Gunnarsbyn recycling center you leave waste that cannot go into the household bins or is too large to fit. The site is staffed, but you do the sorting yourself with advice and support from the staff.

Households can leave waste free of charge if it fits in a car or small trailer. Businesses always pay according to the current fee schedule.

Examples of accepted waste

• Energy recovery waste (e.g. foam mattresses without springs, plastic furniture)
• Wood and timber waste
• Metal (e.g. bicycles, spades, outdoor grills)
