Junk out.
Value back.
Landfill, last.
A modern junk-removal and resource-recovery service for households, offices, sites, and operators — built around recycling first, landfill last, with real reporting on where everything ended up.
Most junk-removal is a one-way street to landfill. We’re building the alternative.
Australians throw out around 70+ million tonnes of waste a year. Roughly 40% still ends up in landfill that could have been recovered, recycled, or rehomed. Our recycling & recovery division is built to flip that ratio — with same-day pickup, full sorting, and a transparent diversion report.
Built for households, offices, construction sites, and commercial operators who want the junk gone and want to know where it actually went.
Junkbird is the group’s recovery operator — junk, e-waste and end-of-life solar collected across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sydney, sorted for material recovery rather than landfill.

Report
You get a report: what was recycled, rehomed, donated, and (last resort) landfilled.
Target 90%+ diverted from landfill.
Everything we collect is sorted, weighed, and routed through the right channel:
- Recycled — through certified recyclers for metals, glass, paper, e-waste, mattresses, polymers.
- Rehomed — usable goods sent to charities, op-shops, refugee resettlement, men’s sheds, schools, community partners.
- Re-distributed — mulch, compost, soil, brick & concrete crushed for site reuse.
- Securely destroyed — drives, sensitive media, branded goods.
- Landfilled (last resort) — only what genuinely has no recovery pathway.
Every job comes with a Diversion Certificate — weight, percentage diverted, CO2e equivalent — ready for your ESG report or just your own peace of mind. For commercial accounts: monthly and annual roll-ups for sustainability reporting, NABERS / Green Star contributions, and board-pack ESG sections.
