Customers come to the recycling centers (ÅVC) to leave what they do not want anymore. As an employee at the recycling center, you have an important role in the meeting with customers. By increasing reuse and recycling in the first place, we work together for a sustainable future. In Boden municipality, we receive large amounts of food waste from most municipalities. The food waste is recycled into biogas, and the first step is to make a slurry of the food waste. The slurry plant is located at Brännkläppen, and from there the slurry is transported to the biogas plant.

You provide information and guidance with a high level of service regarding waste management to the municipality's citizens, both private individuals and entrepreneurs. Our customers should always feel confident that we take care of their waste in the best possible way for the environment. At ÅVC, we must work to prevent waste, i.e. stop things before they become waste. We must inform and encourage customers to recycle as far as possible instead of sending it to incineration or landfill. Reuse is also better than recycling. This is why we need to be very active in our customer meetings on the ramp. The work also includes reception control of hazardous waste, snow removal, keeping order and tidiness, sorting and reloading, handling of waste containers, etc. Other independent tasks outside the recycling center are also included, such as distributing bio bags, replacing broken waste containers, etc. The waste service vehicle is assigned the tasks via a tablet and after good planning, the day's / week's assignment is carried out in a time and environmentally efficient manner. In addition to the tasks at the Recycling Center, work in the slurry plant is also included.
