Less to landfill, on every site we touch.

A skip takes everything mixed together, and mixed waste mostly goes to landfill. We separate waste on site, stream by stream, so bricks, timber and plasterboard stay clean enough to recycle. And we set targets and report against them.

  • Recycling target: of non-hazardous waste recycled
  • Reuse target: reused within two years
  • Recovery target: of the rest recovered
  • Dedicated recyclers for steel, gyprock, masonry and cardboard
  • Bricks, tiles and timber reused, not crushed
  • Non-reusable materials donated to local charities
  • Dust suppression and erosion control trials with Gravel Lock
  • All-weather access mats to cut imported aggregate
  • Diversion reports for any project, on request
Our ESG commitments

Detailed waste reporting, on every site.

Know exactly what left each lot, where it went and how much was kept out of landfill. Ready for your own sustainability and ESG reporting.

  • Diversion from landfill, per site or per estate
  • Waste by stream: brick, concrete, timber, plasterboard, steel, tile, cardboard
  • Which stages, and which trades, produce the most waste
  • Hazards found and recorded on each visit

One crew, one system and a clean site at every stage of the build.

The full process
  1. 01

    Getting started

    Send us the site plans and purchase orders. We set the waste plan and allowances before we arrive, with three days' notice.

    A plan before the first clean

  2. 02

    Slab

    Once drainage is in, before the frame arrives. Waste concrete, reo and mesh removed and the front of the site levelled.

    A safe, level site for the frame

  3. 03

    Framing

    When the framers finish. Steel and timber offcuts cleared and every material kept in its own stream.

    A clear site for the bricklayers

  4. 04

    Brick and cladding

    Once the scaffold comes down. Crew and machinery on site to clear mortar, tile and broken brick in one visit.

    A full site reset

  5. 05

    Lock-up

    At lock-up, when the supervisor calls it. Plasterboard and cardboard taken out separately for recycling.

    Internal trades work on a clean site

  6. 06

    Final clean

    At handover to the landscaper or owner. A final pick of the whole site and the front yard tidied.

Safe sites, and the paperwork to prove it.

A clean site is a safe site, and procurement teams need to see it in writing.

  1. 01

    Hazards checked every visit

    Every clean includes a hazard inspection, recorded and reported to the supervisor.

  2. 02

    A waste plan for every project

    Each project gets a waste management plan, reviewed by RSS and the client.

  3. 03

    Reports you can hand on

    The percentage recycled, reused or recovered, ready for your own sustainability reporting.

“We're very pleased that RSS has come along and identified an opportunity where things can be managed better and more sustainably.”

Everything we collect is sorted, not tipped.

Every load goes to a purpose-built facility where it is separated into streams: brick, concrete, timber, plasterboard, steel, tile and cardboard. Then we report back to the builder on what was recycled.
