JOENSUU REGIONAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Puhas Ltd

Puhas Ltd is a Finnish enterprise established to provide waste management services, and jointly owned by five municipalities: Joensuu, Ilomantsi, Kontiolahti, Liperi and Polvijärvi. The catchment area of Puhas Ltd comprises approximately 112 000 inhabitants. 

The primary business activity of the company is to render waste collection and waste processing services throughout the aforementioned region. Puhas Ltd has contracted out its waste transportation services to private transport companies selected on a competitive basis.

Join waste management

Puhas Ltd is the established waste management service provider in the area, rendering a waste service contract for single houses and summer cottages; this covers combustible waste with a regular emptying frequency of the bin. The buyers and builders of a summer cottage or a single house must contact Puhas Ltd themselves to organize the waste management in their new premises.

The billing party is Puhas Ltd. Puhas Ltd also provides an option to draw up a joint-contract on sharing a waste collection bin with neighbours. The waste management fee is then split equally among the service subscribers. 

To make a contract or discuss further details, please call our customer service number +358 13 318 198.

For row houses and apartment buildings, the waste management fees are usually included in the building maintenance fee.

From biowaste to energy and fertilizers

Biowaste is organic and degradable waste generated by households. Food leftovers can be composted in a composter on your own yard. Puhas Ltd also provides an optional service contract for biowaste in urban areas. Instead of composting your biowaste in your own yard, you can take advantage of our biowaste management service.

To make a contract or discuss further details, please call our customer service number +358 13 318 198.
