KOSIT

KOSIT (business name KOSIT, a.s.) is a Slovak waste-management company headquartered in Košice. It is engaged in the collection and processing of waste and operates one of Slovakia's waste-to-energy facilities. The company serves both municipal and business customers: according to its Slovak Wikipedia entry it provides services to 220 municipal customers and roughly 2,000 business entities, and it has 13 subsidiaries and employs 700 workers. KOSIT's operational footprint is substantial. It operates 26,000 containers and 242 vehicles, and recovers 195,000 tonnes of waste annually. Through its waste-to-energy plant it produces up to 48,000 MWh of electricity, enough for 20,000 households, and in winter it supplies heating for 2,400 households. In 2017 the company recovered more than 223,000 tonnes of waste, producing 45 GWh of electricity and 150,000 GJ of heat, supplying heat to more than 2,400 households and electricity to 19,200 households. Beyond waste management, KOSIT also manages part of the green-space maintenance and winter road maintenance in Košice, with more than 657 kilometres of roads under its administration. In 2020 it had €3.4 million allocated for road maintenance. The company operates six collection yards in Košice, in the city districts of Juh, Západ, Staré Mesto, Ťahanovce, Šaca and Nad jazerom. KOSIT has been a member of the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants (CEWEP) since September 2018, becoming the first member of that association from Slovakia. In June 2018, in connection with reducing the amount of landfilled waste, all cities were obliged to provide composting bins to residents; following a change to the generally binding regulation of the City of Košice No. 168, a project was launched allowing owners of family houses to request a free composter, with KOSIT as the supplier of the composters. Recent news from the company's website includes a 15-year heat supply contract signed with MH Teplárenský holding for Košice, a bank financing of €226 million obtained in June 2026, and ongoing optimisation of mixed municipal waste collection districts in the Košice – Juh city district. The company positions itself around the slogan 'Za čistejší Východ' (For a cleaner East) and offers services for residents, businesses, municipalities, schools and the ESG area.
