The European parliament and the council produced the directive 2008/97/EC to reach a circular society, reducing the use of recourses, and to increase recycling. Not using natural gravel is one way to reach the goals in the directive (2008/98/EC), this will lead to more use of recycled materials, such as concrete from demolished buildings. The purpose of this study was to establish if there is any discrepancy between different waste facilities in Sweden, regarding their management of waste from the construction and demolition industry. For example, reception and routines regarding asbestos and PCB (Polychlorinated biphenyl) in windows was examined. Interviews were held with 8 municipalities in Sweden, 4 municipalities in the north of Sweden and 4 in the south. In almost every question, differences between the north and the south of Sweden were shown. Among the differences, the facilities in the south of Sweden had more developed routines regarding PCB in windows. This may be due to a difference regarding for example economics and the size of the city. In conclusion these differences between the waste facilities regarding their management of waste may be due to resources, time, knowledge, social factors, economic and local climate. The significance of these differences may for example be that substances are more easily dispersed in the environment due to different handling of the waste.
