Kraków gains a state-of-the-art Household Waste Recycling Centre
The construction of a modern Household Waste Recycling Centre has been completed in Kraków, which will facilitate waste segregation for residents and contribute to better environmental protection. The investment project, delivered by the NDI Group on behalf of the Municipal Waste Management Company (MPO), has already successfully passed the handover process, and the facility has been officially opened.
The project, which the NDI Group has delivered once again in Kraków, involved the construction of a Household Waste Recycling Centre, a so-called HWRC, for the Municipal Waste Management Company. ‘This is a facility where Kraków residents will be able to bring waste for disposal, as well as materials for reuse. The facility will streamline waste management and create a space conducive to the recycling and reuse of raw materials,’ says Alina Wojnarowska, Project Manager at NDI Group.
The HWRC is part of a larger investment master plan, namely the construction of the Municipal Waste Recycling Centre in Kraków. This includes the halls built by NDI in previous years (the Plastics Recycling Facility), the Household Waste Recycling Centre building, and projects planned for the future, such as the Bulky and Municipal Waste Recycling Facility.
In addition to the main building, the entire external infrastructure necessary for its operation has been constructed. The greatest challenge during the construction of the Household Waste Recycling Centre was the delivery timeframe, as works commenced as early as July 2025. The project encompassed a comprehensive scope of works – from preparing the documentation and demolishing an old attenuation tank, through earthworks, reinforced concrete and masonry works, to roof installation, finishing works, fit-out, electrical and drainage systems complete with air conditioning, as well as external utility networks. The project also included the construction of roads, associated infrastructure, and the supply of equipment, including waste containers.
The facility is over 120 metres long, nearly 16 metres wide and approximately 11.5 metres high. The total area of the investment is nearly 4,000 m2, of which over 3,300 m2 constitutes usable floor area. Kraków has gained a modern waste segregation facility that will make it easier for residents to protect the environment.
