Regiun Surselva

What Regiun Surselva does

Regiun Surselva is a public-law corporation of the Swiss Canton of Graubünden, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Ilanz/Glion. It serves as the inter-municipal administrative body for 15–16 member municipalities in the Surselva region, delivering a portfolio of statutorily mandated public services: civil registry (Stadi civil), waste management under the Recicladi Surselva brand, guardianship (Curatella), debt collection (Stumadira), regional development, and spatial planning. Operationally, the organisation combines roughly 100 employees with the affiliated Center da formaziun Surselva and operates physical assets including the Plaun Grond regional landfill in Rueun, which has been in service since 1986 and is currently in its third expansion phase.

The underlying technology stack is standard public-sector web infrastructure: a TYPO3-based content management system for the customer-facing portal, with third-party integrations such as Google Maps and Outdooractive for geographic and tourism-related content. The organisation's strategic positioning is reinforced by Swisstainable Level I certification and a research-oriented partnership with the Fachhochschule Graubünden (FHGR) through the Surselva LAB. Its business model is non-commercial: funding flows from cantonal and municipal contributions, statutory user fees (waste disposal tariffs, civil registry fees, guardianship and debt-collection charges), and programme co-funding tied to regional development and sustainability initiatives. There is no venture or commercial revenue base — the entity operates as a publicly mandated utility with a fixed territorial remit.

• Regiun Engiadina Bassa Val Müstair: Another Cantonal Graubünden regional inter-municipal corporation offering similar administrative coordination, regional development, and municipal service consolidation across member municipalities in the Lower Engadine.
• Regiun Viamala: Regiun Viamala is another regional inter-municipal corporation under cantonal public law in the Canton of Graubünden, serving a different set of member municipalities with comparable administrative, waste, and regional development services. Structurally and operationally near-identical to Regiun Surselva.
• KEBAG AG: KEBAG operates waste incineration and recycling facilities serving multiple municipalities in the Solothurn region. Comparable to Recicladi Surselva as a multi-municipal waste management operator in Switzerland, though KEBAG uses incineration rather than landfilling.
• Müve Biberist AG: Müve Biberist is a regional waste management company owned by municipalities in the Biberist area, operating disposal and recycling services. Directly comparable to Recicladi Surselva's inter-municipal waste management model.
• Regiun Albula: Regiun Albula is a similarly structured public-law regional body in Graubünden providing regional coordination, civil-registry-adjacent services, and development planning across its member municipalities. Directly comparable as a Swiss regional administration peer.

Broad incumbents

• Kanton Graubünden: The Canton of Graubünden is the parent jurisdiction under which Regiun Surselva operates as a public law corporation. Comparable as a Swiss public-sector administrative authority, though operating at a higher jurisdictional level.
• ERZ Stadtreinigung Zürich: ERZ is the municipal waste management and street cleaning utility of the City of Zurich, a much larger public-sector waste operator. Comparable business function (municipal waste/recycling) though serving an urban rather than alpine-rural geography.
