Wanless Sydney Recycling Park

Sydney Recycling Park is located in the heart of Western Sydney on 30 acres in the idyllic Kemps Creek area, accepting waste from Sydney’s Commercial, Industrial and Demolition markets. With close proximity to Sydney’s manufacturing and Industrial hubs in the Western region where the majority of Sydney’s waste is produced, it is easily accessible from the M7 motorway to support your collections business.

Through innovative and sustainable practices Wanless is committed to reducing waste from landfill through an advanced technology sorting process whilst protecting the environment in which our facility operates and engaging the community that surrounds it.

We understand that whilst waste avoidance is the ideal solution there are always going to be residual inert wastes that need a disposal destination in Sydney, where waste is handled in an environmentally responsible manner with resource recovery and re-use at the forefront of its operations. To provide this assurance to our customers, we strictly adhere to local legislation and EPA guidelines managing our facility to the highest workplace safety and environmental standards; currently operating two active engineered landfill cells in the southern section.

Sydney Recycling Park has extensive waste capacity which is continually enhanced through the mining of clay and shale materials for brick making purposes.

Our facility processes up to 220,000 tonnes of waste per annum, with approximately 85% of incoming material diverted from landfill.

With strict protocols that ensure quality control, we have developed an efficient, effective process that ensures all materials are allocated properly and recycled in the appropriate manner including:
