Envac, proud system supplier, is arranging the inauguration ceremony at Strömkajen on Wednesday morning at 10.15 AM, on the quay in front of the Grand Hotel at Blasieholmen in Stockholm.
The automated waste and litter collection system is owned by Stockholms Hamnar, and the ribbon will be cut by Ulla Hamilton (M), Vice Mayor of Stockholm.
The system consists of:
- 14 self-emptying litter bins along Strömkajen
- 5 waste inlets for commercial waste from the archipelago boats
- 3 indoor waste inlets in Grand Hotell
- 1 indoor waste inlet in Bolinderska Palatset
When complete, the system will have a capacity to handle 50 tons of waste per week
At the moment, Envac is installing self-emptying litter bins in Henriksdalshamnen (Hammarby Sjöstad), Norra Djurgårdsstaden, Barkarbystaden and Bergen, Norway.
Since earlier, self-emptying litter bins have been in operation at Mariatorget (Stockholm), Kvillebäcken in Gothenburg, Nissastrand in Halmstad, Nyhavn and Odense Havn in Denmark, and Almere in Holland.
