Our story: one truck, a handful of bags, a better idea.

RSS started in the Illawarra in 2012 with a single truck and a better approach: keep each trade's waste separate on site instead of mixing it all in a skip. Today we run an extensive fleet right across NSW and the ACT, for the biggest project home builders in NSW.

Partners in safety and sustainability.

We exist to make construction sites safer and cleaner, and to keep building waste out of landfill. Forecasting waste helps builders cut spend; sorting it protects the streams and habitats around every new estate.

Sustainability isn't a slogan here. It's why RSS separates waste on site instead of tipping it all in a skip, and always has.

Every load we collect goes to our purpose-built facility to be separated into streams and sent to dedicated recyclers for steel, gyprock, masonry and cardboard. Head office and depot: Unanderra, NSW.

  • Recovery: of the rest recovered

    Investment in separation technology and partnerships with recovery facilities.
