At the recycling centre

Do you have waste to dispose of? Welcome to our recycling centres. In December Sysav will be introducing an acess system for all visitors. Individuals insert drivers licence and companies use a customer card.

At the recycling centre, you can dispose of your bulky waste, your garden waste, and your hazardous waste free of charge. Individuals have already paid for this service through the waste fee (renhållningstaxan). All companies, associations and organisations have to pay for their visits. 

Remember to bring someone with you to help carry heavy goods. The staff on site will be happy to help you with advice on how to sort your waste, but is not allowed to help with unloading and lifting due to legislative and insurance reasons.

Access system for Sysav's recycling centres

All those who spend time at Sysav’s recycling centres have a right to feel safe, including our staff. This is why we have an access system. From 3 March 2023, 26 free visits per individual (private customer) per year apply. 

The municipal authority has already charged you as a private customer a fee for your visit to Sysav’s recycling centres, so you don't have to pay upon arival. Business customers have to pay on each visit, but not all of them do. They enter using their personal driving licence or a private customer card. To try and prevent businesses entering as private customers, we are now introducing a limit of 26 free visits per person per year. 

How does it work?

  • The maximum of 26 free visits per adult private customer per calendar year applies from March 2023.
  • From the 27th visit, the cost is SEK 325 including VAT each time.
  • Businesses and organisations should pay on each visit, as usual

Private customers insert driver's licence

This is how the system works: Private customers insert their Swedish driver’s licence* at a barrier in front of the entrance.

*Private customers who don't have a Swedish driver’s licence?  You can order a customer card if you are registered at an address (or have a holiday home) in one of Sysav’s owner municipalities: Burlöv, Kävlinge, Lomma, Lund, Malmö, Simrishamn, Sjöbo, Skurup, Staffanstorp, Svedala, Tomelilla, Trelleborg, Vellinge or Ystad.

Companies, associations and organisations insert customer card.

This is how the system works: Companies, associations and organisations insert customer card. Payment is then made upon receipt of an invoice.
Order customer card for companies here

Companies - prices and payment

All companies, associations and organisations have to pay for their visits - with customer cards and payment by invoice or on site.

With customer cards (for Swedish-registered companies) you pay SEK 260 per visit, regardless if you pay on site or with customer card.

Prices above exclude VAT.

Why an access system?

Sysav wishes to improve the working environment for its employees, who have occasionally experienced instances of theft and threatening situations. Among other benefits, the access system makes it easier to follow up on such incidents. We hope that this will also make visits safer and more enjoyable for our customers.

Sysav also collects statistics on recycling centre flows and allocation of visits across county lines. Moreover, it is now easier for companies to pay for their visits. 

Sysav not the first to have an access system

Many recycling companies in Sweden have introduced some kind of access system. 

What personal data is being stored?

Sysav collect and process personal data in connection with your visit to the recycling centre. The personal data collected is your name, national identity number and registered address.

We process personal data for statistical purposes, to make it easier to follow up on threatening and violent situations and to prevent misuse of the recycling centre.

The Sysav Concept

Sysav consider waste to be a resource that should, as far as possible, be reused and recycled.

Sysav applies an eco-cycle perspective and the operations are based on know-how and expertise, and combine several methods in order to treat each type of waste in the most environment-friendly and sustainable way possible.

Waste is a resource and should, as far as possible, be reused and recycled. Sysav strongly encourages waste sorting at the source. The waste is either reused, recycled into new materials or energy or biologically treated. Only a very small fraction is landfilled.
