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

“Green Yakka have been a great collaborative partner for Wollondilly Shire Council to support sustainable waste management at our events. Without such an amazing social enterprise, Council would not be able to achieve such significant sustainability outcomes during our major events – including diverting clean streams of organics and recyclables away from landfill, educating the community and leading by example.” 

Ibrahim Muharrem , Sustainability Coordinator, Wollondilly Shire Council
