Electronic Waste   

Electronic waste can contain metals, flame retardants and other substances harmful to man or to the environment. This is why electronic waste must not be sorted in any type of container together with your ordinary household waste or bulky refuse.

Electronic waste is anything with a plug or battery. That is, everything from battery-operated toys to blow-driers to white goods. Electronic waste should always be left intact and not taken apart. Then they will be better protected in the sorting process.

At the electronic waste recycling at Sysav, metals and other materials are separated and taken care of in an eco-friendly process. 

WHERE DO I DISPOSE OF ELECTRONIC WASTE?

Electronic waste can be disposed of at one of Sysav's manned Recycling Centres. In Malmö, there are two Recycling Centres: 

• Sjölunda Återvinningscentral, Borrgatan in Malmö
• Bunkeflo Återvinningscentral, Gottorpsvägen in Bunkeflostrand
