Utvärdering av insamlingssystem för hushållens farliga avfall

<p>The collection of hazardous waste from the household around Swedish municipalities varies. 1% of the households waste is hazardous waste. It has hazardous features that can give bad consequences for the nature and human health if we don’t collect it and treat it. Therefore the law controls it, the municipalities have responsibility for the household waste. The municipalities are supposed to raising it and treating it, even if the producers have responsibility for some kind of hazardous waste.</p><p> </p><p>Common systems that municipalities use are:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Recycling centre</li><li>Hazardous waste collection point</li><li>Collection at the gate</li><li>Clean vehicle</li><li>Collection at house by a caretaker</li><li>Collection at shopping centre</li></ul><p> </p><p>Kalmarsundsregionens renhållare wants to increase the quantity by increasing the collection. The systems that Swedish municipalities use for hazardous waste from households have therefore been evaluated. The systems have been investigated in regard to<strong> </strong>the security, how useable they are for clients and above all what quantity of waste it gives. There seams not to be an ultimate system that can fill all the criterions.<strong> </strong>The information about the systems and the possibilities for the households to leave the hazardous waste seams to be the most important for an increased collected quantity of waste.</p><p> </p>
