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 - 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.
