It is part of our mission to help you achieve an ethical, economical and efficient solution to your waste management. Our long- standing commitment to industry best practice is evidenced by our operations. Throughout our 60- plus- years history in commercial and domestic waste collection, the recovery of recyclable material, transportation and disposal, W Indigenous has always considered itself to be a forward thinking, strategic partner to its many clients.

OUR FACILITIES Cutting edge facilities across Australia

We are always improving our existing facilities with the latest technologies while expanding to develop new site locations. Because of our extensive network we can offer state-of the-art sorting facilities which improve our recycling capabilities. Our multiple site locations also benefit our customers with quick turnaround times as well as wider community and environment benefits, such as less fuel emissions because our truck movements are shorter.

We separate aggregates to be sent locally for recycling where they are recycled to produce high grade road base and other aggregates for civil construction and infrastructure projects.
