Halmstad introduces new waste bag system from end of March
Key Points
  • Halmstad's new waste bag system starts at the end of March with green bags for apartments and a tie-on method for villas.
  • A new dotted bag for metal waste will also be introduced to improve sorting machine detection.
  • The changes address issues with gray bags from stores that sorting machines struggle to identify.

According to sources, the new arrangement applies from the end of March, though the specific date has not been announced. For those who live in an apartment, it is the property owner who orders the green bags for residents in the property. For villa owners, it applies to tie a bag, with the color they are missing, on the waste bin to get a new roll.

At the end of March, there will also be a new, dotted bag for metal waste. The changes come as many gray bags are sold in stores today, and the sorting machines can have difficulty detecting them. " It remains unclear how residents will be informed about these changes or whether there are any costs associated with obtaining the new bags.

It is because many gray bags are sold in stores today and the sorting machines can have difficulty detecting them.
