Objectives: To seek for the optimum economic model for public utility services in the sector of municipal waste management; to present the results of studies regarding the efficiency of companies in the sector of management of municipal waste and the systems that such companies function within. Research Design & Methods: Multi-criterion rankings with the use of synthetic variable, the structure of which has been based on zeroed unitarisation (method of zeroed unitarisation – MZU). Owing to general financial data, technical and operational data, as well as output data, it was possible to determine rankings of effectiveness for companies in the system of municipal waste management and communes. What is more, a correlation diagram was created – the dependency between the aggregated effectiveness of companies and the aggregated effectiveness of waste management in communes. Findings: Communes which entrust municipal companies with management of an integrated system for municipal waste management or/and its individual chains feature more properties of operating, economic, and financial effectiveness within the scope of management of municipal waste. Implications / Recommendations: It is demonstrated that communes which entrust municipal companies with management of an integrated system for municipal waste management – or/and its individual chains – feature more properties of operating, economic, and financial effectiveness within the scope of the management of municipal waste. Contribution / Value Added: Further extended research into the organisation and management of the municipal waste management system. Article classification: The article presents an original and innovative analysis of the municipal waste management sector with the use of the developed research method of aggregation and unit efficiency ranking. The purpose is to continue the extended research on the organisation and management of the municipal waste management system.

The main objective of this article is to determine the effectiveness of enterprises providing municipal services and a model approach for processes related to the provision of local public transport services in Poland. In particular, the identification included methods of organisation and implementation of public utility tasks as well as organisational and legal forms and forms of ownership in the case of local collective transport. An attempt has been made to determine the effectiveness of enterprises providing urban transport services in cities in Poland, assessing their operational, financial, technical and social effectiveness. The research design and methods used in this article are based on the assessment of the effectiveness of enterprises using taxonomic methods of grouping e ntities according to selected characteristics and efficiency measures. The use of the k-means method with the number of clusters determined on the basis of the hierarchical Ward method, in which the contribution of variables to the differentiation of clusters was determined on the basis of a one-way analysis of ANOVA variance, to obtain groups of companies with similar efficiency indicators. The findings, based on the conducted research, present the relationship between the economic efficiency of public transport companies and their organisational and legal form as well as the type of ownership. Recommendations from empirical studies indicate that public enterprises operating in the field of municipal services provide public utility services with a higher level of economic efficiency than other distinctive groups of carriers. The added value is that the research methods presented in this work can be successfully applied to other sectors of the economy and other countries in order to verify the effectiveness of individual organizational, legal and ownership forms of enterprises.

Gospodarka odpadami komunalnymi funkcjonuje od lipca 2013 roku w nowej formule ekonomicznej oraz politycznej. Jej funkcjonowanie uwarunkowane jest wysokością opłat od mieszkańców i informacjami o wielu elementach zintegrowanego systemu, który musi być tworzony w każdej gminie. Celem opracowania jest próba odpowiedzi na bariery informacyjne, zwłaszcza w zakresie danych techniczno-ekonomicznych i finansowych, dotyczące gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi, w podejmowanych badaniach i działaniach. Hipotezą badawczą jest uznanie informacji za podstawowy czynnik kreacji gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi o obiegu zamkniętym. Jednocześnie specyfika procesów technologicznych, organizacyjnych, rynkowych, administracyjnych w gospodarce odpadami komunalnymi, wielość ogniw i podmiotów w niej uczestniczących od gospodarstwa domowego do wykorzystania energii ze spalania, powoduje, że istnieje wiele ograniczeń informacyjnych, w tym ich asymetria. Koncepcję artykułu sprowadzono do: opisu gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi w ujęciu informacyjnym, wykorzystania cech informacji z rachunkowości do pomiaru wielkości ekonomicznych i finansowych, specyfiki zbierania informacji oraz do zbudowania arkusza informacji o gospodarce odpadami komunalnymi w gminie i w spółce komunalnej. Wartością dodaną artykułu jest wykorzystanie obowiązujących sprawozdań z gospodarki odpadami komunalnymi, sprawozdań finansowych do zbudowania zintegrowanego pakietu (arkusza) informacyjnego gminy i przedsiębiorstwa oraz wskazanie możliwości jego aplikacji, w tym w ocenie efektywności i skuteczności podejmowanych działań. Artykuł ma charakter koncepcyjno-metodyczny i wpisuje się w regionalne aspekty rozwoju społeczeństwa informacyjnego oraz gospodarki elektronicznej.

Since July 2013 the waste management system in Poland has been functioning under new economic and political conditions. Its functioning is determined by the rate of waste fee paid by residents and information on different elements of the integrated system, which has to be created in each commune. The aim of this paper is an attempt to assess the informational barriers (especially in terms of technical-economic and financial data) affecting municipal waste management. The thesis of this research is recognition of information as the most basic factor of creating waste management according to rules of circular economy. The specificity of technological, organizational, market and administrative processes in waste management, the amount of subjects and chains (e.g. from a household to users of energy from waste incineration) cause that there are many informational limitations and informational asymmetry. The concept of the paper involves the following: a description of municipal waste management in the informational aspect, usage of information from accounting to measure financial and economic indexes, specificity of collecting the necessary information as well as creating the worksheet with information on municipal waste management in a commune and a municipal company. The added value of this paper is usage of existing reports concerning waste management and financial reports to create an integrated informational packet (worksheet) for a commune and a company, as well as pointing out the possibilities of application of such a packet for assessment of efficiency and effectivity of undertaken activities. The paper is of conceptual-methodological nature and it fits in regional aspects of informational society development and digital economy.
