About
Maximise resource recovery with Cleanaway
At Cleanaway, we see all waste as a resource that should be recovered wherever possible. That’s why we partner with councils, businesses, and industry to keep recyclable materials out of landfill so they can be repurposed into new products and materials.
We operate one of Australia’s largest recycling collection fleets, supported by an extensive network of resource recovery facilities. Our national collection and recycling services help divert more waste from landfill, reduce emissions, and make it easier for people to put the right materials in the right bin to reduce contamination and maximise recovery.
Together with our partners, we’re making a vital contribution to Australia’s circular economy and the government’s national target to achieve an 80% average resource recovery rate from all waste streams by 2030. Every step we take to recover more resources brings us closer to a more sustainable future.
