PIK Sp. z o.o. provides solid waste collection services to 5,700 households and 600 other customers in the area of Pszyczyna and Gocza?kowice. The annual average volume of collected waste is about 26,000 m3. The waste, which differs in its qualities and properties, goes to the municipal landfill site, which has been managed by our company since 1997. Since 1998 in order to reduce the negative environmental influence land reclamation has been also carried out at the site.

A new piece of equipment has been installed at Pszczyna`s municipal landfill site this year. The compacting machine made by Bomag from Canada is used for compacting refuse at its target disposal location. The compacting machine is a gift from the German company WEGE-ZWECKVERBAND from Bad Segeberg, with which PIK has had friendly contacts since July 2000. Thanks to the 36.7 tonne machine refuse can be compacted decreasing its volume by as much as two thirds. The use of this equipment enables us to have increased storage volumes and helps to achieve the target shape of the site before reclamation is started.
