What Juko does

JUKO Sp. z o.o. (operating as Juko) is a privately held Polish limited liability company founded in 1993 and headquartered at ul. Topolowa 1, 97-300 Piotrków Trybunalski. The company provides comprehensive waste management services to municipalities, residential communities, and industrial enterprises across the Łódź Voivodeship, operating in seven gminas: Budziszewice, Moszczenica, Rzgów, Sulejów, Tuszyn, Andrespol, and Będków. It was among the first enterprises in Poland and the first in the former Piotrków Voivodeship to introduce selective waste collection from households and workplaces.

The business is organized into three service pillars: Basic Services (municipal waste collection, selective collection, container rental/sale, construction/rubble, electronic, bulky, industrial, hazardous, and post-production waste streams); Secondary Raw Materials (purchase, sale, and recycling of paper/cardboard, glass, and plastics including PET and films); and Additional Services (settling tank/separator cleaning, document destruction, promotional package destruction, sanitation, facility maintenance for summer/winter seasons, waste management program development, and landfill/illegal dump remediation). Since 2002, the company has fulfilled packaging recovery and recycling obligations under Polish entrepreneurial waste law.

The commercial model combines recurring contracted municipal collections with transactional container sales and rentals (120L and 240L units priced between 90 and 140 PLN brutto per unit) and secondary materials trading. Customer acquisition runs through direct municipal partnerships and long-standing institutional relationships, with specialized staff designing customized segregation systems and training for over 400 companies and institutions. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, public listing, or parent company have been disclosed; the company operates independently and is currently active, with published 2024 collection schedules and job postings.
