Founded in 1932, JJ’s Waste & Recycling is Australia’s largest family-owned and operated waste management company. From our beginnings as a small family business, we’ve grown into a global operation servicing Australia, New Zealand and the United States.

We’re actively involved in environmental management and training, converting waste into clean energy, diverting food waste from landfill by turning it into compost, and manufacturing customised waste management equipment. We also specialise in asbestos removal, refining and recycling oil, managing and maintaining our fleet in-house, and leveraging our own bespoke technology systems. On top of that, we operate a dedicated scientific and medical distribution division — making us a truly diverse and innovative organisation.
