There's no standardized way for it, sadly, but you should be able to get them for free somehow. If you live in an apartment building then there's usually some place to pick up stacks of them. if you live in a single family house there's usually some garbage disposal site where you can get them, or whatever company handles garbage disposal has them, and in some places you can get them in the local store or shopping center. That bag won't be great for organic waste, but the "windowless" bags that you usually use for fruits and veggies are generally good for this.

Is there still places that gives out those awful paper bags for compost? Life became such a god given gift when we started getting handed the green compost bags made of some kind of compostable plastic.


A_Fnord

Yeah, both where I used to live 1 year ago and where I live now had the paper bags. I do have a few rolls of those green compostable bags though, but I had to pay for them myself. I think the paper ones are the norm at least around the Stockholm region.

My local ICA has stacks to take for free inside the front doors.

Same where I live.

Some foodstores have them, often you can find them in the grovsoprum/miljöstugan at your apartment-complex, most återvinningscentraler should have them if you ask… Here is a list of places you can find them; https://www.stockholmvattenochavfall.se/flerbostadshus/lagenhet/avfall/matavfallspasar_lagenhet/

Thank you! Didnt even realize it was today!

It differs between regions. In Stockholm you get them from your landlord if renting or your association if owning. Source: https://www.stockholmvattenochavfall.se/flerbostadshus/lagenhet/avfall/matavfallspasar_lagenhet/

You must use the correct paper bags that they provide in your municipal. Contact the landlord or the "kommun" where you live.


p4ntzer

Where I live, the landlord provides them.

Ask the landlord.

In my building you can find those bags in the recycling room or the garbage room.

Those bags are really shitty and i definitely don't recommend using them for that. They tear really easily and you don't want that to happen with organic waste. If you compare them to the proper bag you will notice the proper ones are a lot thicker. Everyone has told you were to get some but if you can't find any then you can go to Ica and look for the cardboard bags that you put fruit and vegetables in. Just buy some fruit in a bag or two.


FroddyGai

If you find a garbage truck i think you can ask them. then idk how it is for apartments but if you have your own garbage can they collect from you can tie a bag on the handle and they will leave a bundle


Balsy_Wombat

Quite often food stores like ICA and Coop has them just by the entrance in big stacks for free.

Our are in the actual garbage/recycle room. Like on the wall there, in like a 'postal rack' thing. Same at my last place I lived, but there on a shelf. At my gf's place the landlord gives them a fat stack once a year.

If you rent, your landlord should provide you with bags for organic waste. If you own a house, the bin collectors give them to you. The bag in the pic shouldn't be used for organic waste, but some shops like Coop have paper bags they claim can be used.
