Working together with Councils
to simplify recycling

Recycling isn’t just the right thing to do, it also makes economic sense. Each month, we help councils be diverting tonnes of valuable resources from landfill with our four convenient council services.

The problem

Councils face significant challenges in managing residential recycling habits. Despite having infrastructure such as CRC’s and charity shops, these facilities have limited influence on how residents recycle beyond simply directing them there.

Confusion among residents about correct disposal methods often leads to recyclables ending up in landfill or in the wrong bin.

The absence of effective measurement and reporting tools complicates data collection crucial for Council reporting.
