Sorting waste is a common practice in Sweden. All items must be recycled correctly, otherwise the recycling system won’t work. More information about recycling can be found at juneavfall.se External link, opens in new window..


Most of our accommodations have recycling bins for most of the waste we produce in a normal household. The recycling room at Delta is located in the basement. There are containers for: residual waste, plastic and food waste.


We collaborate with SSA (students for sustainable actions) to make sure we do the best we can for the environment with the help from you the students. If you want to help either with the accommodation or SSA please let us know.


Food waste is disposed of in paper (never plastic!) bags that are provided by the accommodation office or can be acquired at supermarkets free of charge.

 

There can not be any plastic bags or non-organic waste in the food waste. The company who collects the waste will not collect the waste and you risk getting a fine from the waste company. Please make sure that you take out food waste as often as possible. In summer times when its warm it attracts flies and bugs.

Beverage cans and plastic bottles are sorted as PANT and can be exchanged for money. PANT-stations can be found in most supermarkets and at Sortergård.

It is your individual responsibility to sort the waste properly! Waste that you are unable to sort (batteries, light bulbs, furniture, PANT), can be disposed of at Sortergård or selected supermarkets.

Every Tuesday the accommodations office inspects your house. In the kitchen you have a schedule over your responsibility the following week. It´s important that you clean and follow the rules and guidelines. If you can not do your chore that week it is your responsibility to change the week with another student. Please let the caretaker know if you change the week. The accommodation office will provide you with basic cleaning equipment. If you are missing any tools or chemicals let the contact person know about it and they will ask us for it. We do this just to make sure you will live in a clean house and are able to fully enjoy your stay in Jönköping.


As a thank you for this we also provide treats. You can ask for a treat when you have 6 stars. You will get one star for each week that you cleaned, and the inspections are ok. The treat could be stuff like toilet paper, mixer, coffee maker etc. It is important to understand that we have the right to decline the request. If it cost to much or we are unable to purchase the product. The treat must be something that most of the tenants can use.


If we are not satisfied with the cleaning, we have the possibility too call a cleaning company and send you the bill.
