Cleanaway Waste Management

Regional Manager Hugo Parris recently attended The Waste Recycling Industry Association (QLD) inc (WRIQ) 2025 Future Waste Resources Symposium on the Gold Coast where he was a part of a panel discussion titled “Raising the Bar: Achieving an 80% Recycling Rate in Queensland”.   The panel focused on strategies to increase the recycling rate to 80% in Queensland and included WRIQ board members and other industry experts. Hugo said, “The Symposium provided a platform to openly discuss the challenges and opportunities in the waste industry. Industry now needs to take the lead and develop sustainable and realistic plans to address these issues and opportunities.” How can we help your business improve your recycling efforts?

Our team in Geelong had a great day out over the weekend supporting Camp Quality Convoy for Cancer 2025. Six drivers participated in the convoy to raise money for kids and families experiencing the challenging realities of a cancer diagnosis. We beat our target, raising $3,306! Thank you to everyone that donated and supported the Cleanaway Moolap crew. It’s just one of the many ways we bring our Guiding Principles to life, in particular ‘Show genuine care’, to give back to the communities where we operate. Camp Quality brings positivity, fun and laughter back into the lives of kids facing cancer. Their programs and services help families build optimism and resilience through community, education and fun.

Our fleet of nine brand-new kerbside collection trucks for Mitchell Shire Council are all lined up and ready to support the introduction of a new food organics garden organics (FOGO) and glass recycling service starting this March. FOGO is highly valuable material that can be turned into compost for agriculture and glass can be infinitely recycled without compromise to quality, making this new service a major win for sustainability in the area. Congratulations to the Shire and its residents on doing their part to make a #sustainablefuture possible by diverting even more materials from landfill to be beneficially reused in the circular economy.
