  • Cleanaway’s Perry Road Office and Collections Depot in Dandenong South officially opened Thursday 4 July 2019. The site brings together operations from three other sites to serve our customers better across the Greater Melbourne region.
  • We relaunched Our Cleanaway Way, the strategy on a page that gives our people clarity and the tools to achieve our mission, live our company values and align our efforts to take our business from good to great.
  • Our new website brought together the service capability of our three businesses in one place, with a new design, to deliver the best possible experience for all our key stakeholders.
