The selection varies
Please note that the available items may vary depending on what has been borrowed or donated recently
Everything you can borrow from Fritidsbanken and Kulturbanken is donated by individuals, organizations or companies. We are involved in reuse and do not buy any equipment ourselves.
You can leave stuff to both Fritidsbanken and Kulturbanken at Rondellen secondhand and at any recycling center in Skellefteå municipality. Leave in the designated place for reuse and we will make sure it ends up right.
Right now it is also possible to leave stuff in the bathhouse Eddahallen's entrance and in the City Hall Brinken.
Unfortunately, at present we do not have the opportunity to pick up gadgets and equipment that someone wants to donate.
What happens if what I borrow breaks?
If something is broken, we will try to repair it. If this is not possible, we will pass it on for recycling after picking any spare parts that can be reused.
På grund av elsäkerhetslagen får vi inte ta emot prylar som kräver elektricitet.
Vi kan inte heller ta emot större och otympliga prylar och instrument, till exempel pianon. Det beror på att vi har begränsade lokaler och att det ska vara enkelt att bära hem för den som lånar något.
