Recycling centres in Kalmar
As a private person in the municipality, you can leave bulk waste without extra cost, since it is included in the basic fee. Empty bags and boxes into the right container. Vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons are referred to the waste facility Moskogen. Melltorp is staffed only on Mondays and Fridays from 9 to 13. The rest of the time it is self-service: after a brief training, you are registered and use your driving licence as a key to the gate.

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.
