<strong>SWEDISH</strong> <strong>WASTE</strong> <strong>MANAGEMENT</strong> 2010<br />
The local authorities are free to choose<br />
management mode and municipal undertakings,<br />
separate or joint with other municipalities.<br />
Cooperation is also possible in a joint<br />
committee or a local government federation.<br />
There are also local authorities who cooperate<br />
on specific matters, such as joint procurements.<br />
To many local authorities collaboration<br />
is a natural solution to attain the best possible<br />
environmental and social benefits, to achieve<br />
cost-efficient treatment and to guarantee the<br />
competence required.<br />
In 73 percent of the Swedish municipalities,<br />
the collection of household waste is managed<br />
by external actors, private companies,<br />
while in the rest, it is managed by the municipalities<br />
themselves. In the same way, waste<br />
treatment is effected either by the municipalities<br />
themselves or by an external actor, often<br />
a municipal enterprise or sometimes a private<br />
company.<br />
