Temporary Position at Recycling Centers

Dala Vatten och Avfall is responsible for the operation, development, coordination, administration, and planning of water, sewage, and waste management services in Gagnef, Leksand, Rättvik, and Vansbro. The main office is located in Leksand.

Much of the work we do is neither seen nor heard, but it would be immediately noticeable if it ceased. Through planning, analysis, and development, we deliver the critical infrastructure that is a prerequisite for us to live and thrive in our municipalities. Our mission is to ensure that our customers have access to clean water and environmentally friendly sewage and waste management.

Our mission is also to create conditions for our customers to make more sustainable choices. We manage our operations with the customer in focus and with a heart for the environment and sustainable development for our communities. Our goal is to make it easy for our customers to do the right thing in all water, waste, and sewage matters. One of the tasks of the waste management operation is to run the municipalities' recycling centers.
