Environmental Services

Waste Collection

Over 100 million people in more than 5,000 municipalities around the world benefit from the services we provide. Employing the most advanced technologies we continuously improve our ability to manage the thousands of tonnes of solid waste collected every day in some of the world’s most important cities. More than 25 million tonnes of refuse are collected per year. We employ a variety of collection systems according to each city’s needs, using a combination of vehicles and containers designed to maximize efficiency and minimize the environmental footprint in terms of noise and emissions.

Street Cleaning

Over 100 years of experience has taught us what factors most impact a community’s quality of life, what 13 million men and women require to enjoy their towns and cities. For that reason we make every effort to keep the streets, plazas and avenues of thousands of towns and cities as clean as possible. It’s also why invest in the development of real-world solutions such as clean-energy vehicles that can move through city centres with a minimum of noise and emissions. Street Cleaning is carried out in a number of different ways, with sweeping or washing of public areas being done manually, with mechanised equipment or a combination of both.
