Waste collection — Brf Råcksta Glimten
Reviewed 12 October 2026. Based on the supplied handover documents, including both Outlook messages in folder 4.05, selected accounting/payment records, the economic plan and the site drawing. Stockholm Vatten och Avfall (SVOA) public guidance was checked for expansion options and 2026 prices. Supplier confirmation is still needed for current contractual terms and a complete cost breakdown.
Existing arrangements and included services
| Provider | Evidence of arrangement | Collection | Known cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stockholm Avfall AB, billed through Stockholm Vatten AB/SVOA | Customer 273368; waste agreement 710163417; invoice 1079176606 for Vemdalsgatan 17 | Residual household waste: three 660-litre bins, once weekly. SVOA's 27 August 2026 email confirms Tuesdays. | Invoice estimates SEK 47,231/year including VAT. Invoice for 3 April–30 June 2026: SEK 9,262 excluding VAT, SEK 11,577.50 including VAT, rounded payable SEK 11,578. |
| SVOA food waste | Same customer; 27 August email confirms food-waste collection | Fridays. Bin count and sizes are not established by this email. | No separate food-waste price identified in the handover waste folder. SVOA's published 2026 tariff provides free once-weekly food-waste collection for properties under its flerbostadshus service; confirm the association's account classification and any extras. |
| Remondis Sweden AB | Customer 553898; February 2026 email confirms association rents the bins and supplier has the triangular key; August email confirms collection scope | Plastic packaging only, Wednesdays in even-numbered weeks (approximately every other week). | Payment records show SEK 697 paid 4 June, SEK 696 paid 2 July and SEK 696 paid 31 July. An earlier payment was SEK 1,183 on 7 May; an August invoice entry is SEK 693. These records do not establish the billing periods or split between rental, collection and extras. |
The Remondis PDF is an email exchange, not a complete signed contract. Besqab requested a written agreement for handover on 25 February 2026; no complete signed Remondis agreement or price schedule was identified in these four waste-folder files. The two MSG files contain collection-schedule replies, not a contract attachment. The SVOA subscription number is evidenced by an invoice, but the complete active subscription/order specification is absent from the waste-folder pack.
Neither provider's supplied waste-folder documents establish a fixed term, cancellation notice, automatic renewal, amendment fee or guaranteed lead time for adding services. Do not assume additions are free or that cancellation can take place immediately.
There is no documented current collection arrangement for paper/cardboard packaging, metal packaging, coloured glass or clear glass in the reviewed waste evidence. The 20 May 2026 site drawing labels its waste cabinets for food waste, residual waste and plastic, consistent with the supplier emails. The final building approval covers eight waste containers but does not establish spare capacity or collection scope.
Cost interpretation
- SEK 47,231/year including VAT is SVOA's own invoice estimate for the billed household-waste subscription, not a verified total for all waste services or a 2027 quotation. The invoice's annual tariff line is SEK 37,890 excluding VAT. Use the invoice's stated estimate rather than multiplying the shortened April–June billing period by four.
- If the recurring Remondis charges around SEK 696 represent monthly normal service, a rough annual allowance is SEK 8,352 (696 × 12). This is an inference from payment patterns, not an established contractual annual price.
- Combining those figures gives an indicative existing-service allowance of about SEK 55,600/year, before unidentified extras, changes, subsidies or other charges. For 22 homes that is roughly SEK 211/home/month. This is not an audited annual total.
- The registered economic plan budgets SEK 73,000/year for avfallshantering, approximately SEK 277/home/month. This is a planning allowance, not an invoice or evidence that every recycling stream is included. The apparent SEK 17,400 difference from the indicative service allowance is not confirmed available funding.
- The August settlement separately refers to a Remondis adjustment of SEK 882 involving the outgoing developer. That is not evidence of the ongoing annual tariff and should not be added as a recurring cost.
Adding cardboard, metal and glass
Administratively, Remondis is a practical first supplier to ask: it already collects the association's plastic packaging and appears on SVOA's list of approved packaging collectors. This does not establish a contractual right to add streams at the current price. Request an amended service specification and itemised quotation, with a second approved supplier quotation for comparison.
The physical layout is the main unresolved issue. The drawing identifies cabinets for the existing three waste types; it does not prove spare room for four additional streams: paper/cardboard packaging, metal packaging, coloured glass and clear glass. A bin count/site measurement is needed to determine whether existing cabinets can be rearranged or whether additional cabinets/space are needed. Paper/cardboard generally needs more volume than metal and glass. Changing residual-waste capacity may be possible after sorting improves, but should be based on actual fill levels.
SVOA states that building permission often is not needed for bins within the property's own land, although a large number of bins can require permission. New enclosures or a materially changed arrangement should be checked with the city before ordering works.
The packaging service is for packaging: cardboard boxes, cans, bottles and jars. It does not establish collection of arbitrary metal objects, window glass, electrical waste, furniture or other bulky waste. These need separate arrangements or the relevant public recycling service.
SVOA states that property-near collection of paper, plastic, metal and glass packaging must be in place by 1 January 2027. If collection on the property cannot be provided, an alternative recycling-station arrangement requires agreement with SVOA under its criteria. Since Glimten comprises townhouses with shared collection, ask SVOA to confirm the applicable shared-property service and account classification when confirming the expansion plan.
Expansion pricing — 2026 reference, not a supplier quote
SVOA's 2026 maximum price for collection in bins is SEK 321 including VAT per collection occasion and per waste fraction, regardless of bin count or volume within that collection. Bins are excluded and additional services can cost extra. Prices for 2027 must be obtained separately.
| Frequency for one additional fraction | Illustrative annual collection ceiling using 2026 price |
|---|---|
| Monthly, 12 occasions | SEK 3,852 |
| Every other week, 26 occasions | SEK 8,346 |
| Weekly, 52 occasions | SEK 16,692 |
An illustration with paper/cardboard every other week and metal, coloured glass and clear glass monthly gives 62 collection occasions across the four fractions: SEK 19,902/year at the 2026 ceiling, before bin rental, setup/extra services and before subsidy. This is a calculation, not a recommended capacity plan or binding price.
SVOA offers a packaging-collection subsidy based on connected homes and collected packaging categories, with at least quarterly collection. It generally does not cover all costs and does not fund reconstruction. Existing plastic collection may already be eligible: confirm whether the association has applied, received credits and registered its bank account. Update the application when fractions or connected properties change; Glimten comprises Häftklammern 2 and 3, so confirm that both properties and all 22 homes are recorded correctly.
Concrete next steps
- Ask Remondis, customer 553898, for the current agreement, all annexes, bin inventory, rental/collection prices, extra fees, billing periods, contract term and notice provisions. Request a site visit and an itemised quote for paper/cardboard, metal, coloured glass and clear glass, including cabinet requirements, proposed intervals and startup date.
- Ask SVOA, customer 273368, agreement 710163417, for the complete active subscription and bin list. Confirm Tuesday residual collection, Friday food collection, the food-waste tariff and why the invoice describes the waste agreement as “Hushållsavfall verksamheter” despite this being a residential association. Confirm the correct service classification and the 2027 packaging plan.
- Measure cabinets and access routes, record bin sizes and fill levels, and obtain the project's Avfalls-PM referenced in the building-permission decision. The actual Avfalls-PM was not located in the inventory by filename.
- Confirm packaging subsidy registration/credits for existing plastic collection and how adding the other fractions affects the net cost. Compare gross supplier prices, rental/setup costs, subsidy and potential residual-service reductions.
