Stadtentsorgung Rostock Gmbh

What Stadtentsorgung Rostock Gmbh does

Stadtentsorgung Rostock GmbH (SR) is a municipal waste management company headquartered at Petridamm 26, 18146 Rostock, Germany, providing integrated disposal services to the Hanse- und Universitätsstadt Rostock under municipal service contracts. Founded in 1953 and operating as a privately held GmbH, the company delivers household waste, bio-waste, paper, glass, light packaging, bulky waste (Sperrmüll), and electronic waste collection, together with street cleaning and winter maintenance. Its service infrastructure comprises four recycling centers in Lütten Klein, Südstadt, Reutershagen, and Toitenwinkel, and an owned composting facility (Kompostwerk Parkentin) that processes approximately 10,000 tons of bio-waste and 13,000 tons of green waste per year into certified compost carrying the Bundesgütegemeinschaft Kompost e.V. quality seal. The company holds Entsorgungsfachbetrieb (certified disposal specialist) status.

The company operates through three wholly owned subsidiaries: SR Service GmbH, which handles commercial container services (1 cbm Big Bags to 35 cbm roll-off containers), bio-waste disposal, and paper/cardboard collection from households and commercial customers; SR Technik GmbH, which runs the vehicle workshop, winter services, and street cleaning for commercial clients; and Marieneher Umweltschutz & Recycling GmbH (MUR), focused on demolition, disposal, and recycling of construction and demolition waste. Commercial customers are served via direct container rental, while residential customers access four recycling yards for self-delivery of problem wastes. The HanseSchatz Rückkonsumzentrum, a reuse center at Recyclinghof Lütten Klein, sells donated second-hand goods at flea markets and operates as a joint project with the city.

Revenue is generated primarily through fees collected by the municipal government for residential waste services (embedded in city-set waste fees), supplemented by transactional revenue from commercial container services, recycling yard fees, certified compost sales, and reuse center retail. The company has been a member of the #wirfuerbio campaign since 2018, a network of over 80 waste management companies across 12 German states focused on reducing plastic contamination in bio-waste. Management is led by Managing Directors Henning Möbius and Birger Bludszuweit, supported by Technical Manager Andreas Kühn and Compost Plant Manager Dr. Stefan König. The company does not disclose revenue publicly, and operates in a mature, regulated sector with a stable single-anchor municipal customer relationship.
