Cleanaway acquires Citywide Waste

Cleanaway Waste Management Limited (Cleanaway) has completed its acquisition of Citywide Waste.

Cleanaway’s existing solid waste services business in inner metropolitan Melbourne will expand to welcome around 200 team members with 100 additional fleet, and will include the Dynon Road transfer station located 5 km from Melbourne’s CBD.

The waste services business is investing $35 million to upgrade the transfer station to turn it into a modern, efficient post-collection hub.

“We’re delighted to officially welcome the Citywide Waste team to Cleanaway,” said Tracey Boyes, Executive General Manager Solid Waste Services. “Together, we’ll continue delivering essential services to Melbourne’s communities while enhancing resource recovery outcomes across the CBD and surrounding areas.

“The Citywide team has built a successful business and brings deep experience in servicing Melbourne’s inner city. Now, as part of Cleanaway, we’re excited to continue serving residents of the City of Melbourne and other major councils, as well as the many commercial and industrial customers who rely on the Dynon Road Transfer Station.”
