What Servizi Comunali does

Servizi Comunali SpA is an Italian multi-municipal public utility company that provides integrated urban solid waste collection and treatment services to 122 municipalities across the provinces of Bergamo, Brescia, Milan, and Cremona in Lombardy, covering a service area of more than 500,000 inhabitants. Founded in April 1997 and headquartered in Sarnico, the company is jointly owned by 127 public entities under the Italian 'In-House' model, which is recognized under Italian law and governed by a dual assembly system with shareholder voting independent of shares held.

The company operates a fleet of 287 vehicles and employs 390 staff across four sites (Sarnico administrative HQ, Chiuduno environmental division, Limbiate, and Antegnate). Its service offering centers on urban solid waste collection and differentiated door-to-door recycling (Raccolta Puntuale), achieving a 76% differentiated collection rate. Adjacent service lines include local municipal tax management (Tributi Locali), waste collection center facilities (Centro di Raccolta), a dedicated municipal services portal, and the Rumentologo educational platform for citizen waste-sorting guidance. Sportello Online provides a self-serve web portal for citizens to manage services.

The company holds EMAS, SA 8000:2014, ISO 45001:2018, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, and received Comuni Ricicloni recognition in 2025 for top environmental performance in Bergamo province. Revenue and contract pricing are not publicly disclosed; the business model is contract-based service delivery to public municipalities under the In-House framework, with no external private equity, venture capital, or M&A activity documented in the source material. A new waste treatment plant was under construction as of February 2024, indicating active infrastructure expansion within the existing Lombardy footprint.
