*In Sweden, the weeks begin on a Monday and end on a Sunday. Each week is given a number. For example, the first week of the year is week 1, and the last week of the year is week 52. Therefore, an 'even week' is a week with an even number. Many online calendars can be adjusted to show week numbers, or you can look this up online.

Private individuals can bring bulky waste free of charge using their own vehicle, up to approximately 3 cubic meters per visit. Building waste may also be left here. For a map and opening hours, see: https://www.sorab.se/start/hushall/besok-en-avc/
