Zero Waste

Zero Waste Consulting & Education 

Practical support. Real-world results.

Expert guidance to reduce waste, improve systems and get your team on board across Sydney and the Illawarra.

Green Yakka provides practical zero waste consulting and education to help organisations improve waste systems and reduce waste to landfill. We work with you to understand how waste is generated on site and identify realistic changes that can be implemented on the ground. 

Our approach is hands-on and tailored. We focus on solutions that fit your operations, site constraints and team capacity — not generic advice. From system reviews and waste plans through to staff training and signage, we help embed better waste practices into day-to-day operations. 

We manage the process end to end, so you get clear direction, practical tools and measurable improvements.

Why work with Green Yakka?

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

For over a decade, we’ve proudly worked with values-driven councils and businesses across NSW – delivering real impact, on the ground, where it counts.

“Green Yakka’s team is reliable, professional, and flexible to work with. They work diligently, manage HSE risks and clean the area after every audit. Their ability to provide services outside of operational hours has been valuable in managing the limited space in loading docks.”  

Dennis Lee, Resource Recovery Manager, Mirvac

“SOILCO has partnered with the Green Yakka team since 2016, and we are proud to support an organisation that assists individuals in our community to find valuable employment. The assurance that Green Yakka pays employees according to the Award and covers all on-costs brings peace of mind. Some casuals have gained valuable experience with SOILCO and we have been able to offer them permanent positions in our company. The longevity of our collaboration speaks to the trust, professionalism and the dedication we share to a sustainable future that provides opportunities to all.”
