Introduction

Australian Waste Management are focused on providing a range of environmentally friendly recycling services designed to rescue recyclable waste from landfill, and assisting customers in helping both their finances and the environment.

Our main focus is on RECYCLING! Currently the main waste streams we are working hard to minimise and subsequently the services we are focusing on are Office Paper and Cardboard Recycling, Plastic & Glass Bottle Recycling and Steel & Aluminium Can Recycling.

With many years of experience in the recycling field, our team are more than qualified to assist customers in reducing and managing their waste through recycling and to also introduce them to recycled products manufactured from environmentally friendly renewable sources.

In January, 2004, Australian Waste Management purchased a large number of bins on location with customers from Paperaway, who had previously acquired them from Softex, the Victorian paper recycling division of a large Queensland based tissue manufacturer, buying out a large section of their Victorian waste paper recycling establishment.

In July, 2006, Australian Waste Management took over A2Z Recycling, a medium sized waste management and recycling company in Victoria, bringing on board a large number of new customers, and widening our focus from Paper, Cardboard and Document Destruction, to also include Glass & Plastic Bottle and Steel & Aluminium Can Recycling.

The takeover of A2Z Recycling also brought with it the distribution rights for Nylex Plastics in Australia, making us one of few Authorised Nylex Plastic and Wheelie Bin product distributors in Victoria, and allowing us to stock 4 sizes and 12 colours of wheelie bin.

Since Nylex Plastics was accuired by Transpacific Industries in 2009, Australian Waste Management has forged strong bonds with other Australian Wheelie Bin Manufacturers to ensure an ongoing continuous supply of good quality, Australian made wheelie bins for our customers. We can also help source non standard sizes and colours upon request.

You will see a number of different coloured recycling bins with a few different names on them at times. The common names seen on Australian Waste Management bins are Softex Recycling, A2Z Recycling and Australian Waste Management. Any of the associated telephone numbers, will get you in touch with us!

In September 2009, Australian Waste Management purchased their own shredding plant, installing it in their West Footscray factory in Melbourne's Inner West. This plant recycles all paper and cardboard waste by shredding it into tiny pieces ensuring your confidential documents remain that way. After shredding, the paper fibres are recycled back into numerous paper and cardboard products.

Strategy

Our key strategy is our innovation and commitment to tailor design packages to suit individual customer needs, ensuring 100% customer satisfaction in their waste management and recycling requirements.

Whilst no company can sensibly claim to have all the answers, Australian Waste Management constantly strives to provide, 'Simple, safe, solutions' that are affordable to the user, kind to the environment and which benefit not only Australia, but the entire planet.

We try to find the right answer for each and every customer EVERY time! If we can't help, we try our best to find you someone that can. Our aim is to provide a "One Stop Solutions Shop" for everything recycling related. We don't think of ourselves as "Recycling Specialist" with great customer service, we are "Customer Service Specialists" that know a lot about recycling!

Our Promise To You

You, the customer, are and will always remain our first priority. Your total satisfaction is guaranteed. Your perception and feedback of our performance is critical to our continuing improvement and success. We welcome your ideas, suggestions and critique. We will take on board each and every suggestion and comment, and endeavour to become the business that you WANT to deal with. We enjoy each and every interaction with every customer, and we want you to enjoy every encounter you have with us.

The Future

Australian Waste Management will soon be looking to expand recycling operations into New South Wales and Queensland, giving complete coverage of the eastern states. Once this is achieved, we will look at recycling in South Australia, then Western Australia and finally the Northern Territory. Our eventual aim is to provide our cost effective and environmentally friendly recycling services to the whole of Australia, and on to the rest of the world.

We don't think there should be one big player in recycling. We aim to give customers choice. Choice to decide who they want helping them help the environment. Why be forced to pay high prices? With competition come price reductions. With price reductions come savings. Help us put a check on a monopolised industry.

We will continue to develop our business in harmony with our customers, setting in place the mutual partnership arrangements with new customers that our existing customers have enjoyed over the past years. We do not see our customers as part of our business, they are our business.
