At Återbruket, the first large building when you drive into the Falu recycling center. It has the same opening hours as the recycling center.

What do I do with the things that are not coming with me?

Our advice is to sort out what you are not taking with you when you start packing, and take it to a recycling centre before moving day. Then the removal company only carries and drives what is coming along, and the working time gets shorter.
