Skräp is Swedish for trash. It is also the title of what I am told (by my friend Victor who is Swedish and half way through it) is a rad book in which this guy Mattias Hagberg tracks his own waste then follows it all the way to Ghana, which is where Sweden exports some of its solid waste. Swedish speakers, here’s the link to the publisher. The rest of us will sadly have to wait for Victor to finish reading and/or the commercial release of an English translation.
