What Komunalac d.o.o. Bjelovar does

Komunalac d.o.o. Bjelovar is a municipally owned Croatian utility company (komunalno društvo d.o.o.) wholly owned by the City of Bjelovar, operating from its headquarters at Ferde Livadića 14a, Bjelovar, Croatia. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of communal services to the City of Bjelovar and eight surrounding municipalities in Bjelovar-Bilogora County (Kapela, Nova Rača, Rovišće, Severin, Šandrovac, Velika Pisanica, Veliko Trojstvo, Zrinski Topolovac). Its core offerings include municipal waste collection (with separate collection streams for paper, plastic, bio-waste, and bulky waste), street cleaning (Čistoća), public green-space maintenance, cemetery management and funeral organization, parking services (on-street and public garage), market operations (Gradska tržnica), a seasonal ice rink, and ancillary online grave-maintenance services.

The underlying technical platform is a network of physical waste-management and service assets: two recycling yards (Bjelovar at Tomaša Garika Masaryka 4b and Prespa), a sorting facility (Sortirnica Bjelovar), a biological bio-waste treatment plant (Kompostana) with a designed capacity of 4,000 tonnes/year of bio-waste producing up to 1,600 tonnes/year of compost, the non-hazardous waste landfill 'Doline', and a digital layer consisting of the KOM.NET customer portal and the Bmove mobile/web parking application (rebranded from PayDo and active across 77 Croatian cities). Major capital expenditure has been substantially de-risked through non-reimbursable EU Cohesion Fund and Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund co-financing.

The business model is a municipal concession under public service contracts, with revenue generated through (a) recurring municipal service contracts with the City of Bjelovar and eight surrounding municipalities, (b) recurring household/business fees for organized waste collection (monthly billing, published price lists per municipality), (c) recurring cemetery and grave-maintenance fees, (d) usage-based parking fees via the Bmove app and on-street meters, and (e) market-rental income from agricultural producers, craftsmen, and trading companies (daily, seasonal, and annual lease options at the city market). The company is led by President of the Management Board Ivan Ivančić, dipl. oec., with Natalija Vuković, mag.ing.agr., heading green public spaces.
