\nThe recycling station across the road from Coop in Sp\u00e5nga has disappeared. Maybe it has moved, I haven’t checked. I guess I should.<\/p>\n

Instead I’ve just gone to the other recycling station nearby, next to Sp\u00e5nga Folkets Hus. Which I think might technically be marginally closer to us. But because it lies in the wrong direction and doesn’t have a supermarket next to it, those 20 metres that I could possibly save by going there are useless. I can walk 700 metres to the recycling station and to the supermarket, and the same back again – or I can walk 650 metres to the recycling station, and the same back again, but still need to make the whole trip to the supermarket in the exact opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally there are DHL and Schenker parcel pickup points very close to each of the recycling stations. The algorithms usually pre-select the one next to the Folkets Hus, because I guess it appears closer. And I always override their choice and pick the one in central Sp\u00e5nga instead, because then I can pick up my parcel on my way from somewhere else. Technically closer does not mean better.<\/p>\n

I still end up walking to the “wrong” pickup point regularly, though, because many online shops don’t let me choose and leave it to the algorithm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
