Cleanaway offers a unique dry general waste service in New South Wales that captures non-recyclable material (free from food, liquids and other wet materials) to be turned into Process Engineered Fuel (PEF). Instead of fossil fuels, PEF is an alternative fuel source that can be used to power cement kilns. This waste-to-energy solution provides a sustainable pathway for dry rubbish that would otherwise go direct to landfill.
We collect your dry rubbish in a range of bin sizes and types that suit your needs including front lift bins and large skip bins. The collected dry rubbish is then sent to our state-of-the-art waste-to-energy facility Cleanaway ResourceCo Resource Recovery Facility for further processing.
Skip bins
Also known as Marrell bins, these versatile bins can be used in a wide variety of projects, including house renovations and office cleanups.
Bulk bins
These large bins are suited for projects that generate a lot of waste that cannot be compacted while allowing for safe and easy waste depositing through walk-in doors and large open tops.
Compactors
Our compactor service is suited to generators of large volumes of light to medium density waste, both
recyclable and non-recyclable.
