Why AVE
Most people don't see litter as something positive. For us, however, every bin is an opportunity to do something useful for the people living in our city, for the companies that provide jobs for our fellow citizens and, above all, for nature, which we have decided to actively protect and work towards a cleaner future.
Our employees agree that they have the opportunity to work in a team of like-minded people who care about the cleanliness of their surroundings. With us, you see the results of your work every day.
Although we are a large and strong company with a long tradition guaranteeing stability, we are always a local company, a small autonomous team working in a region or a city.

About us
Our company was founded in 1993 by the German company RWE AG. In 2004 the company name was changed to the current name AVE CZ odpadové hospodářství s.r.o. and since 2013, we have had a Czech owner.
We are growing, but we maintain a friendly atmosphere.
Our long-term and sustainable growth is not based on expanding from the center to the regions but on adding smaller local companies to our group. Local companies remain themselves and are not forcibly changed into a uniform corporate copy of the parent company. This allows us to maintain a culture of small teams working together towards a common goal. For the employees, this means maintaining the atmosphere they loved in their jobs and strengthening their security and background thanks to a new strong partner - AVE.
Employees like it here
The growing number of employees demonstrates the success of our business and how we care for our employees. Judge for yourself: at the time of the name change to AVE, we had 448 employees, which more than doubled to 990 within two years, to 1,279 in 2012 and nearly 1,900 in 2015. In 10 years, the number of employees has almost quadrupled. This proves that our company culture and care for our employees have much to offer.
We place emphasis on quality and employee care

What do we offer
What benefits would you appreciate from your employer? We asked our colleagues.
My work must be meaningful
The results of your work can be seen every day - whether it's a clean neighborhood, well-maintained roads, working public lighting, or demolishing an old industrial building threatening the neighborhood. Making it all work takes a lot of work and effort from people in the field and the company's back office.
I have to be comfortable with the company culture
Although we are a strong company operating throughout the Czech Republic, our structure is not centralized and everything is not "managed from Prague". We work together as a group of smaller, equal local teams pulling together and working towards a common goal.
This is also reflected in our company culture built on a friendly atmosphere. In fact, you'll be working in a small, stable team that is connected to its location and staffed by people who know and love where they work. You will know all your colleagues and they will know you. Forget the mannerisms of large corporations, impersonal environments and "about us without us" decisions.
Regular gatherings of all employees from across the country at sporting events or the AVE Christmas party are an integral part of our company culture. We greatly appreciate the cooperation with Eva Samkova, one of the most important faces of Czech sport.
I need to be able to develop professionally and personally
Many people from different professions contribute to AVE's success, so the approach to training and growth in each position is also diverse.
As the market, the company and the employees evolve rapidly, training programs must logically change.
We take for granted all the training you need for your job and for your professional growth
the company has to take care of my basic needs
In addition to the above, there are basic needs for safety and security that every employer can contribute to. Benefits such as meal vouchers contribute to the fact that our employees do not have to take time off or spend time preparing meals when they could be spending time with their families or pursuing their interests and hobbies.
Benefits like retirement and life insurance think about your future. For the time you spend working for AVE, you not only get a regular paycheck you can 100% count on, but also a contribution to a better life in the future.
Are these reasons enough for you? Send us something about yourself. We look forward to getting to know you.
Company values
Our corporate values are truly reflected in the daily working lives of all employees and they see them as what connects them to AVE. So what do they say about them? We asked...
Professionalism - we are experts in our field and a role model for others
Growth - employee development is an essential prerequisite for company growth
Consideration - we are considerate of the environment and each other
Teamwork - we respect each other, acknowledge different opinions and pull together
Partnership - we pride ourselves on long-term cooperation and open communication
Performance - we look for and implement simple and effective solutions
Flexibility - we react flexibly to new situations and requirements and constantly look for opportunities for improvement
What do people say about working with us?
The first thing that comes to mind when I think of AVE is the friendly and helpful people.
I hope this doesn't sound like a learned phrase, but I'm really looking forward to getting to work.
I really like the support for mothers with children at AVE.
We are socially
and ecologically responsible
and ecologically responsible
We are actively working to ensure that "a cleaner future" is not just a slogan on our corporate posters. And what are we specifically doing about it?
A clean future is indeed our common goal
Caring for the environment is at the heart of our business. When it comes to the waste the company collects, we are strict about the environmental impact of our business. That's why our landfills are not just waste disposal facilities, but are equipped with modern sorting lines, decontamination areas as well as areas for biological waste treatment and facilities for the ecological treatment of leachate. Landfill gas is used to generate electricity etc.
A clean future is a common goal
We are perceived as good neighbours in the regions where we operate. Why? Because we support the development of towns and villages and work with them to support a range of environmental and educational projects and institutions. We invest our time and money where we can help others, where they lack the necessary knowledge or the support of a strong partner. We work together with local people to make improvements. Just as a good neighbour should!
We take part in charity and cultural events, support local clubs and sports clubs.
As part of children's days and country days, our establishments do fun programs and competitions with themes that impact environmental perception and behavior - for example, with themes about waste sorting.
A clean future starts by building on the damage of the past
Unfortunately, we did not inherit our country in the best environmental shape. But this is not a setback for us - on the contrary, it is a chance to do something beneficial for all of us. That's why we are actively helping the environment recover from the impacts of the heavy or chemical industry. And not just here, but across Europe. We return contaminated soils and water bodies to their original state so they can serve people again!
A clean future means responsibility and transparency
Our business is as transparent as possible - everyone at AVE adheres to a strict code of ethics and regularly receives training in procurement principles.
