Waste electrical/electronic equipment

The KSJ operates collection points at recycling centers to take back old appliances. In accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, disused electrical and electronic equipment must be handed in at the collection points set up (recycling centers or similar).

Electrical and electronic waste does not belong in the waste garbage cans at your home!

Electrical appliances are sorted, partially dismantled and prepared for recycling directly at the KSJ.
