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 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

“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.”
