DAKA Entsorgungsunternehmen

What DAKA Entsorgungsunternehmen does

DAKA Entsorgungsunternehmen GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned environmental services company headquartered in Schwaz, Tyrol, Austria, operating since 1972. The company delivers an integrated portfolio across four divisions — Entsorgung (waste disposal and collection), Recycling (material recovery and composting), Reinigung (industrial, ventilation, oil-separator, tank, and street cleaning, plus disinfection), and Sanierung (fire, water, and mold remediation, leak detection, drying) — supplemented by specialized services such as mobile groundwater purification, grease-separator maintenance, and event sanitation rental. Its owned infrastructure includes a modern collection fleet, the Erdenwerk Radfeld composting facility that produces the Toni's Kompost brand, and seven operational sites spanning the Kitzbühel, Kufstein, Schwaz, and Innsbruck-Land districts.

Underlying the service portfolio is a physical and digital technology stack: electronic identification and weighing systems enabling cause-based municipal billing, mobile on-site groundwater purification units, hot-water container cleaning integrated into collection vehicles, hydrogen-peroxide/silver-ion cold-nebulization room disinfection, dry-ice blasting, and multi-modal leak detection (thermography, gas, acoustic, endoscopy, pressure, and density testing). Digital channels include the kundenportal.daka.tirol customer portal, the container.daka.tirol online container shop, and a mobile Müll-App for waste-collection information.

DAKA generates revenue primarily through transaction-based fees for disposal, container rental, and recycling processing, supplemented by professional-services fees for cleaning, remediation, and event services, and managed-services contracts for municipal waste collection. The customer base is segmented into municipalities and public-sector associations (80+ Tyrolean municipal contracts), commercial and industrial enterprises (with dedicated industry concepts for healthcare, hospitality, gas stations/workshops, and agriculture), and private households served through both field operations and the online container shop. Distribution combines seven regional branches, a self-serve e-commerce channel, a B2B customer portal, and a 24-hour emergency hotline. The company is privately held, with no external institutional investors; Barbara Zitterbart and Matthias Zitterbart serve as managing directors of the parent DAKA Unternehmensfamilie GmbH.
