REWAG Disposal

What REWAG Disposal does

REWAG Entsorgung AG is a privately held Swiss waste management and recycling company headquartered in Kaiseraugst, operating three Entsorgungscenter (disposal centers) in Kaiseraugst, Münchenstein, and Sissach across Northwestern Switzerland. Founded in the mid-1990s, the company has built over 30 years of operating history and processes approximately 100,000 tonnes of material per year, serving more than 100 companies alongside tradespeople and private households. Its core service portfolio comprises drop-off disposal and recycling at the three centers, a Muldentransporte container rental and delivery/pickup service with a formalized Muldensortiment product line, and a Bahnverlad rail-loading service linked to its on-site railway connection. Underlying technology is industrial rather than digital: conveyor belt sorting lines, Sennebogen material-grabbing excavators, and rail-linked logistics infrastructure for sustainable long-distance transport. The company employs approximately 25 people and runs a process-optimized, circular-economy-oriented operation.

The business model is fundamentally transaction-fee based. Revenue is generated through per-unit tipping and disposal fees at the Entsorgungscenters (with a free disposal window of Mo-Sa 6-20 Uhr at Kaiseraugst and Sissach to drive volume), rental and transport charges for Muldentransporte containers delivered to customer sites, and rail-loading logistics services. Pricing is publicly undisclosed at the unit level but described as fee-based and varying by location, material, and quantity. The go-to-market is direct-to-customer across both business segments (Firmen, Gewerbetreibende) and consumer segments (Privathaushalte), with no intermediaries; customer acquisition relies on the corporate website, direct phone contact, and the physical presence of the three centers. Commercial activity is concentrated in the Nordwestschweiz (Northwestern Switzerland) region, with no disclosed international or digital-channel operations.
