Managing and procuring waste services for government and commercial industries around Australia
After several years managing and procuring waste services for government agencies around Australia, Fernlawn Environmental (later renamed Garbology) was formed to extend this support to other government and commercial industries.
Waste management is the service that has been forgotten for too long in the facilities world and represents one of the last opportunities for step change in innovation and cost reductions.
Garbology adopted existing business models and technology, as well as developing its own, to facilitate this support to government and industry.
Best technology to improve efficiency and reliability of waste services
The key learning from both areas of experience is that waste management companies generate profit when bins are empty.
This hands-on experience with the available technology, coupled with long-term relationships/partnerships in industry, led to the formation of Garbology, a company founded on achieving sustainability in the field of facilities and waste management.
