Sweden’s largest vacuum cleaner is being built in Brunnshög

Forget smelly bins and smelly trash cans. Now the trash is descending into underground lines where it is flying towards recycling at breakneck speeds.
Sweden’s largest vacuum cleaner for collecting waste, food, cardboard and plastic is in full expansion in Brunnshög.

Next autumn the Brunnshög vacuum cleaner will go into operation. The garbage then goes to containers below ground level and is sucked through a pipe to the terminal.

Lund’s director of wastewater Therese Fällman seems pleased when she looks at the large sections of black pipe that will be buried at Brunnshögsmarken. Through a line of more than one kilometer, the garbage will fly at more than 70 kilometers per hour towards the terminal that is currently being built.
