Parramatta Council awards recycling contract

Parramatta City Council has awarded its contract to process construction and demolition waste to Benedict Recyling.

The contract will run for three years with an option for renewal.

“We’re very excited about the Parramatta City Council win, as it’s another step forward in the growth of our recycling business,” said Benedict Recycling’s Group Recycling Manager, Darin Anderson.

“Our Rydalmere facility will accept about 200 tonnes of the council’s construction and demolition waste each week, while our Chipping Norton site will process it. Parramatta Council informed us that Benedict won the contract due to the high recovery rate we could offer.” Benedict Recycling will achieve a recovery rate of approximately 90% of the council’s waste.

Benedict Recycling’s waste recovery rates are said to be on average 20% higher than those of its competitors through the technologies employed at the Chipping Norton facility.

Over the last four years the company has invested $35 million in constructing its state-of-the-art Chipping Norton facility, ensuring Benedict Recycling will lead the industry in waste recovery and recycling rates.
