What Eesti Keskkonnateenused does

Eesti Keskkonnateenused (EKT), founded in 1998 and headquartered in Tallinn, is Estonia's largest waste management group. The company provides comprehensive municipal waste management services across Estonia, including organized waste collection under contract with local governments, construction and demolition waste handling, hazardous waste processing (with incineration capacity currently being expanded), recycling services, and waste station operations. EKT handles more than 300,000 tonnes of waste annually for over 250,000 customers through a network of waste stations in nine counties and customer service points in multiple cities (Tallinn, Tartu, Viljandi, Saaremaa), supplemented by a digital self-service portal (eteenindus.keskkonnateenused.ee). The company's consolidated revenue was EUR 77 million in 2024 and headcount is approximately 800.

EKT's core offering is its organized municipal waste collection service (Korraldatud jäätmevedu), provided under exclusive contracts with 10 Estonian municipalities, which grant the company exclusive service territories. Revenue is generated primarily through container rental fees, emptying fees, and transportation charges per municipality region, with pricing varying publicly by municipality and container size (0.08 m³ to 4.5 m³ for residential; 5 m³ to 30 m³ for construction). Additional revenue streams include construction waste container rental, Big-Bag collection services, waste station reception fees, municipal waste and environmental station operations, compost and fertilizer sales under the Ecobio brand, bulk material sales, and specialized services such as electronic waste collection (in partnership with OÜ Eesti Elektroonikaromu), fecal transport (Saaremaa and Hiiumaa), road and street maintenance, document destruction, crane truck collection, and container washing.

The company employs approximately 800 people across field operations, regional sales, customer service, and administrative functions. In September 2025, INVL Private Equity Fund II — the largest private equity fund in the Baltics — signed an agreement to acquire a 75% majority stake in EKT, with completion expected by end of 2025 subject to Estonian Competition Authority approval. This represents INVL Private Equity Fund II's first investment in Estonia and aligns with its strategy of backing leading Baltic platform companies. Management has set a 2027 strategic goal of becoming Estonia's leading material recycler, signaling a planned shift up the recycling value chain beyond traditional collection.
