Putting out a recycling bin is the easy part. Making sure the material actually gets recycled is where things get tricky. Without the right setup, contaminated loads get rejected and sent straight to landfill, often without anyone realising it happened.
Smallmon Brothers helps businesses, schools, worksites and organisations across the Riverina set up recycling systems that actually work: the right bins, the right streams and the right collection schedule. No greenwashing. No crossed fingers. Just recycling that actually gets recycled.

The Problem
Most recycling systems fail before the truck arrives.
The biggest recycling problems don’t happen at the processing facility. They happen at the bin.
One wrong item contaminates a load. Staff stop using the system properly. Recycling becomes confusing. The reporting doesn’t stack up. Suddenly you’re paying for a service that isn’t delivering the result you expected.
You can avoid:
- Contaminated loads ending up in landfill
- Staff confusion about what goes where
- Sustainability targets with no evidence behind them
- Paying landfill costs for material that could be recovered
- Recycling systems that look good but achieve nothing
Already have recycling bins?
That’s where many of our customers start. We’ll review your current setup, identify what’s working and what’s not, and help transition to a better system if needed. No disruption. No complicated changeover.
WHAT WE HANDLE
A recycling system designed around the way your business actually operates
We look at what you’re throwing away before we recommend any bins. You can expect:
Co-mingled recycling for approved glass, cans, plastics and packaging
Paper and cardboard recycling where it makes sense
Collection schedules matched to volume and material you’re generating
Reporting to sustainability targets and compliance requirements
Support from a local team when you need it
Integration with general waste, FOGO and other waste streams
Clear guidance to help staff get it right
Good recycling shouldn’t be complicated. The right setup should be easy to understand, easy to use and easy to stick with. And it should fit your operation, not the other way around. We’d rather help you get recycling right than pretend it’s working when it isn’t.
Pricing
The cost of a recycling service depends on:
- The type of recycling stream
- Bin size
- Collection frequency
- Contamination levels
- Site location
In many cases, introducing recycling reduces general waste volumes and helps offset disposal costs. We’ll recommend a practical setup and explain pricing upfront before anything is delivered.
