Mancomunidad del Nordeste de Tenerife

What Mancomunidad del Nordeste de Tenerife does

Mancomunidad del Nordeste de Tenerife is a public supramunicipal consortium (mancomunidad) under Spanish law, formed by six municipalities in the northeastern comarca of Tenerife — Santa Úrsula, La Victoria de Acentejo, La Matanza de Acentejo, El Sauzal, Tacoronte, and El Rosario — serving a population of approximately 83,363 inhabitants (INE 2019). The entity's core function is the integrated management of municipal solid waste collection and street cleaning across its territory. Services are delivered under a €50.6 million, seven-year concession contract awarded in 2024 to UTE Mancomunidad del Nordeste, a temporary joint venture of Urbaser S.A. and Martínez Cano S.A., which is operating a newly renewed fleet of 63 vehicles acquired for €13.5 million. The consortium is funded through member-municipal contributions and service fees.

Beyond the core waste mandate, the consortium operates selective waste collection infrastructure (color-coded containers for packaging, paper, glass, organic matter, and textiles), eight fixed and two mobile clean points (funded by European Next Generation funds), a free bulky-waste and furniture hotline (900 11 11 24), and an environmental education program including an in-house environmental educator role that reached 734 students across 15 schools in 2024. Adjacent product lines include an agricultural training program (viticulture, winemaking, chestnut cultivation), a waste statistics database, a transparency portal, and regional events such as the Saborea Acentejo gastronomic festival. The consortium is chaired by Escolástico Gil, Mayor of El Rosario, and is embedded with strategic partners including Ecoembes, the Gobierno de Canarias, the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, and the EU.

Others

• Ecoembes: Ecoembes is the Spanish packaging-waste recovery system and a strategic partner of the Mancomunidad on recycling campaigns ('La Ruleta del Reciclaje'). It is comparable as an ecosystem participant enabling the consortium's selective collection economics.
• Cabildo Insular de Tenerife: The Island Council of Tenerife is the supramunicipal island authority collaborating with the Mancomunidad on agricultural training, rural development, and environmental programs. Comparable as a higher-tier public body co-funding and co-coordinating local services on Tenerife.

Direct peers

• Urbaser: Urbaser is one of Spain's largest private urban services and waste management operators and a 50% partner in the UTE Mancomunidad del Nordeste that actually delivers the consortium's services. It is directly comparable as the concessionaire counterpart on the €50.6M / 7-year contract.
• Mancomunidad de la Comarca de Pamplona: Another Spanish supramunicipal consortium providing integrated waste collection, selective collection, and bulky waste services to multiple municipalities in Navarra. It is structurally analogous as a publicly owned inter-municipal waste authority.

Broad incumbents

• Acciona Servicios Urbanos: Acciona's urban services line provides municipal waste collection, street cleaning, and green-area maintenance in Spain and internationally. It is a comparable large-scale bidder for integrated municipal service concessions.
• Valoriza Servicios Medioambientales (Sacyr): Valoriza operates municipal solid waste collection, selective collection, and street cleaning services across Spain and Latin America, making it a direct competitor for the type of 7-year supramunicipal concession held by Mancomunidad del Nordeste.
• FCC Servicios Ciudadanos (FCC Medio Ambiente): FCC's environmental services division operates municipal waste collection, street cleaning, and recycling for hundreds of Spanish and Latin American municipalities. It competes for the same concession contracts that the Mancomunidad tenders and is a benchmark for the consortium's outsourced service model.
• Cespa (Ferrovial Servicios): Cespa is Ferrovial's waste management subsidiary and one of the leading Spanish municipal waste collection and street cleaning operators. It would be a natural competing bidder for supramunicipal contracts of the type awarded by Mancomunidad del Nordeste.
• Prezero (Suez): Prezero is Suez's Spanish waste management arm offering municipal collection, recycling, and clean-point operations. It competes directly with Urbaser/FCC/Cespa for the kind of comprehensive integrated contract awarded to the Mancomunidad's UTE.

Regional players

• EMULSA (Empresa Municipal de Limpieza de Gijón): EMULSA is a publicly owned municipal company providing waste collection, street cleaning, and selective collection for Gijón. Comparable to the Mancomunidad as a public-sector operator running the same service portfolio at city scale.
