Garbage Disposal
Garbage can
The garbage can is located on the side of the street at the entrance of the house property. The white identification tag on the side of the garbage states “Segelvägen 27” (not to be mistaken by the neighbor’s garbage can standing next to it(!)).
Garbage disposal
We Swedes are crazy about sorting our garbage…
Oskarshamn’s Municipality has issued ordinances governing waste management, to which you must adapt and follow to the letter(!).
Plastic, paper, glass and metal must be separated from other household waste and must then be sorted separately.
We provide 4 containers in which you must dispose the respective plastic, paper, glass and metal objects to be discarded.
We will empty these 4 containers after the end of the your stay, or once a week, if you stay for a longer period.
The containers for sorting waste are located in the Utility Room on the far short side of the house, which has an external door.
You must put organic food waste in green colored plastic bags, which must be tied before placed in the garbage can belonging to the house.
You must put all remaining household waste in red colored plastic bags with a tie before placing in the garbage can belonging to the house.
We will provide the house with colored plastic bags for household waste disposal.
VERY IMPORTANT: NO LOOSE GARBAGE, TRASH, GARDEN WASTE, FISH GUTS/BONES, GLASS, METAL, PAPER, PLASTIC OR OTHER LOOSE ITEMS MAY BE THROWN IN THE GARBAGE CAN BELONGING TO THE HOUSE! The municipality will not empty the garbage can unless ALL garbage, which is allowed to be thrown in the garbage can, is packaged in tied colored plastic bags.
-Remember: Everything always in a colored plastic bag with a knot on it! NOTHING ELSE in the garbage can!
Toilet disposal
Please, do NOT flush tampons, pads, cotton swabs or diapers in the toilet! The sewage system simply cannot handle such items.
Dog poop
When walking dogs in the area, as well as on the property around the house, the you must pick up any possible dog poop left by your dog, tie it up in a plastic bag and throw it in the garbage can that belongs to the house.
