Once open in a new area, we contract local drivers who share our passion for recycling. Each driver is fully trained before starting their mission and will be accompanied by an experienced driver for their first Pickup.
For each bag/box/bin/item collected, our driver takes a picture and registers photos, the weight and the type of waste on our app.
Once all Pickups are complete, the driver sorts the resources and drops them off at our consolidation point where the items are connected with our certified recycling partners.
- Soft plastics are delivered one of our soft plastics recyclers, based in Victoria
- Wearable clothes will go to charity shops such as Australian Red Cross etc. and
- Unwearable textiles are collected by our textile recyclers to be transformed into rugs, insulation material or back into yarn depending on their condition and composition.
- E-Waste is dismantled so that valuable metals are recovered.
- Misfits go to many different recyclers, for example aluminium coffee capsules will be separated so the coffee ground is turned into compost and the aluminium, infinitely recyclable, is turned back into aluminium product... and the list goes on!
If in doubt, each driver can directly call our Head of Operations to determine the best way to recycle an item. Feedback and best practices are regularly shared with our drivers to continuously improve our service.
