In Västerbotten, garbage collection is organized in the areas of Nordmaling, Umeå and Skellefteå, among other places.
Frida Tengvar is chairman of the 4H farm Moröbacke in Skellefteå.
- It is important to keep a low level of acceptance because as soon as there is some rubbish, it is easy for people to start thinking that it is okay to throw on the ground, she says.
At the same time, Frida Tengvar states that what is thrown away the most is small rubbish of a troublesome kind.
- There are a lot of cigarette butts.
It is an image that is confirmed by Keep Sweden Clean.
According to the association, the small rubbish (snus, fimpar, chewing gum and plastic) accounts for up to 80 percent of what is thrown away in nature.
But after Wednesday, that may change.
- Yes, we hope that the Riksdag will finally vote for it to be forbidden to throw even small rubbish as fimper, says the association's communications manager Pontus Tengby.
Think voting counts
He says that when a littering fine was introduced in Sweden just over ten years ago, an exception was made for smaller rubbish that was considered small, such as snus, charcoal paper and cigarette butts.
Keep Sweden clean has since tried to get politicians to change that.
- We will see how it goes, we have been reached by both positive and negative signals and therefore believe that it will be the vote count that decides, says Pontus Tengby.
If the Riksdag on Wednesday votes to remove this exception, it will start to cost 800 kronor in fines for those who are caught red-handed throwing a pimp on the ground.
This is something Frida Tengvar, who has been involved in arranging today's garbage collection in Skellefteå, also hopes for.
- We want the children and future generations to never throw rubbish directly on the ground.
