Salerno Pulita

What Salerno Pulita does

Salerno Pulita S.p.A. is a fully publicly owned municipal waste management and environmental hygiene utility headquartered at Via Tiberio Claudio Felice 18/bis, Salerno, Italy. Founded in 1997 by the Comune di Salerno and local cooperatives, the company has been wholly publicly owned since 2004, when the Comune di Salerno acquired 98.83% of share capital and the company subsequently absorbed the residual 1.17% held by Comune di Baronissi. It provides integrated waste management services — door-to-door collection (porta a porta), fixed collection points, mechanical and manual street sweeping, public area washing, beach cleaning (including the seasonal Spazzamare service), weekly market cleaning, and cleaning of municipal buildings (theaters, nurseries, stadium, pools, cemeteries) — to all households and commercial establishments within the Salerno municipal territory.

Operationally, the company runs a vertically integrated chain comprising the FORSU composting plant (assigned 2016), the Ostaglio waste transfer station, the Arechi and Fratte collection centers (assigned 2018), and dedicated sweeping fleets. It is registered in Italy's National Register of Waste Managers across multiple classes and categories, holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 27001 certifications, and operates under Unified Environmental Authorizations issued by the Province of Salerno. Channels include a citizen portal (Portale Utenti), an economic operators portal, a citizen CARD system, and active social media presence, with AI-assisted text processing supporting customer care and contact center operations.

The business model is a managed-services contract structure: Salerno Pulita delivers services under formal affidamento (service contracts) from the Comune di Salerno, which is simultaneously its sole shareholder and primary — effectively sole — contracting counterparty. Service pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is not publicly reported, and the company's scope is strictly confined to the Salerno municipal territory, with no visible geographic expansion strategy. Strategic partnerships with Comieco (paper/cardboard) and Corepla (plastic packaging) date to 2000 and support the differentiated collection program.
