About Us | Cleanaway

Resource recovery at every opportunity

Cleanaway Waste Management Limited is Australia’s leading total waste management, industrial and environmental services company. We have supported Australian businesses for over 50 years, delivering solutions that offer extraordinary benefits not only for our customers, but also for our communities. In 2018 we welcomed Toxfree and Daniels Health into the Cleanaway family, increasing our reach and scale to over 6,000 expert staff and a fleet of almost 4,500 specialist vehicles across more than 260 locations around Australia. We are Australia’s largest waste, recycling, industrial and liquids service provider with a substantial network of state-of-the-art facilities, transfer stations, engineered landfills, liquid treatment plants and refineries.

At Cleanaway, we offer our customers an unrivalled capacity to collect, process, treat, recycle or safely dispose of any type of waste. Because we see all waste as a resource, managing Australia’s waste needs isn’t a matter of asking “where does it go now?”, but “what can it be next?” Our experience and expertise in the industry means we’re always finding better, smarter and cleaner ways to make a sustainable future possible.

How bin tagging reduces recycling contamination

A bin tagging program helps reduce contamination by providing immediate feedback if the wrong items are spotted in the recycling bin.

How do container return schemes make a difference for recycling?

Closed loop recycling is the end game for a sustainable recycling system. Container return schemes make this possible by separating drink containers at the source to produce a clean, high-quality stream of recyclables that can be turned into new items again and again.
