The work of the administration is permeated by cooperation, holistic approach and efficient use of resources. Through good planning, the administration contributes to an attractive living environment that is sustainable in the long term from an ecological, social and economic point of view. Customers come to the recycling centers (ÅVC) to leave what they do not want anymore. Encouraging customers to recycle in the first place reduces the amount of waste and the need to make new items, saving both natural resources and energy. What cannot be reused should be sorted into the right fraction so that as much as possible can be recycled in the best possible way. As an employee at the recycling center, you have an important role in the meeting with customers. Our ambition is to develop the business in such a way that we contribute to a better environment and a higher degree of service to the citizens of the municipality. With us, you will be able to contribute to environmentally sustainable development and a more efficient use of the earth's resources. You will be part of our environmental work. In Boden municipality, we receive large amounts of food waste from most municipalities. The food waste is recycled into biogas, and the first step is to make a slurry of the food waste. The slurry plant is located at Brännkläppen, and from there the slurry is transported to the biogas plant.

You provide information and guidance with a high level of service regarding waste management to the municipality's citizens, both private individuals and entrepreneurs. At ÅVC, we will work on waste prevention, that is, stop things before they become waste. We will inform customers to recycle instead of sending it to incineration or landfill. Reusing is also better than recycling. That's why we need to be very active in our customer meetings on the ramp. The work also includes reception control of hazardous waste, snow removal, keeping order and tidiness, sorting and reloading, handling of waste containers, etc. Other independent tasks outside the recycling center are also included, such as distributing bio bags, replacing broken waste containers, etc. The work is partly independent and partly in groups, can be physically demanding and the work is mostly done outdoors.

We manage the daily operations, which includes loading food waste into the plant with a wheel loader, changing containers for coarse cleaning and monitoring the process from food waste to slurry.
