Water & sewer Tip Jobs & school Fees Customer service About us My pages Tip Waste grinder Waste grinders are not allowed Waste grinders are not allowed in our municipalities. The reason is that it entails a risk of stoppage in the pipe network. Our treatment plants are also not built to receive organic household waste. Gästrike Vatten does not grant a permit to install a waste grinder to the municipal sewer. This means that a waste grinder is not permitted in any of the municipalities of Gävle, Hofors, Ockelbo or Älvkarleby. Our treatment plants are only built to receive and purify wastewater from toilets, laundry, and sinks. It is therefore not permitted to flush down organic household waste. If you have a waste grinder installed, we ask you to remove it. The property owner may be liable for damages if the waste gets stuck in the pipe network and basement flooding occurs or if it drains untreated wastewater into nature. Gästrike Återvinnare is responsible for the collection and source sorting of organic household waste. This is composted and reused as nutrient-rich compost soil.
