About us
Malerreka Common Zerbitzuak is a micro-cooperative in support of people at risk of social exclusion located in Malerreka, in the Bidasoa Region, to accompany them in their social and labor incorporation. We are governed by the principles of a new fair, supportive and green economy, placing people in
the center.
We are settled in Elgorriaga, in the Malerreka valley. Our main work area is in the Bidasoa region, northern of Navarrae Gipuzkoa and Lapurdi.
We work to face the double problems existing in our environment: the social and labor incorporation of people at risk of exclusion and the generation of new economies through the management of local resources.
We do it from the rural environment, from our town, in collaboration with other rural companies to offer quality services that respond to the demand of town halls, local entities, companies and individuals.
We work in collaboration with long-standing companies specialized in sustainable garden design or road maintenance work and excavations. We also cooperate with economic, social and educational entities.
And we look beyond. We firmly believe that an ecological transition and the implementation of the fundamentals of the circular economy are necessary to advance economic, social and environmental sustainability.
Service catalogue
Our services and work areas are articulated around the opportunities of the circular economy, the management and maintenance of rural and urban spaces that require conservation and restoration, and the possibilities of generating
initiatives linked to the primary sector, the food system and the use of communal areas.
