📣 Community Building Partnership 2026 Grant Program is NOW OPEN 📣

Over the years, I’ve helped many incredible local organisations bring their ideas to life through CBP funding - it’s time to do it all again!

From new clubhouses to new roofs and even the start of our koala sanctuary, these projects make a real difference where it matters most - right here in our community.

If you have a project that needs funding, see the comments for details 👇

Local pizza shop with excess boxes?

We’ve made it easy for our community.

Our cardboard cages are set up out the front at:

📍 11 Victa Way, Bomaderry

No payment.
No paperwork.
No need to speak to anyone.

Just pull up out the front, drop your cardboard in the cages and you’re on your way.

That’s it.

At Shoalhaven Recycling, we’re proud to support locals, builders, tradies and families by keeping recycling simple and affordable in our region.

The Shoalhaven is too beautiful to let recyclable material go to waste — let’s keep our South Coast clean together.

💡 Shoalhaven Builders Saving Spotlight 💰
Why Pay More?

If you’re a builder in the Shoalhaven region, here’s something you need to know.

While costs keep rising across the board, your waste disposal doesn’t have to.

At Shoalhaven Recycling, builders can drop off waste for just:

✅ $0.42 per kilo + GST

✅ $420 per tonne + GST

That’s based on current published council rates, we’re more than $100 per tonne cheaper. Rates are subject to change, so always check for up-to-date comparisons — but the savings speak for themselves.

In a climate where every dollar matters on-site, why send your margins to higher tip fees?

📍 11 Victa Way, Bomaderry
🚛 Easy drive in access
⚖️ Weigh, unload, go
♻️ Fast, efficient, local

We support:
• Builders
• Tradies
• Renovators
• Demolition crews
• Owner builders

And yes — Rusty approves. 😉

The smartest builders in the Shoalhaven are already making the switch.

The question is…

Why pay more?

Standing on top of the world…
Oh wait — it’s just Ben in the factory in China making sure everything is built exactly right for the next big upgrade at Shoalhaven Recycling.

Our Director Ben recently travelled overseas to personally oversee the manufacturing of our custom built recycling plant upgrade with our partners at Xrido. This is not off the shelf equipment — it is being purpose built for the Shoalhaven facility to improve efficiency, reduce dust, and expand what we can recycle locally.

The new system includes advanced shredding and material handling technology designed to process complex construction materials, colour steel, timber, cardboard, and mixed recyclable waste more efficiently. The upgraded conveyor and sorting systems allow trucks and semi trailers to unload directly under enclosed sections, helping reduce dust and improve environmental performance on site.

What does that mean for the Shoalhaven community?

✅ More materials recycled locally instead of going to landfill
✅ Faster processing and improved site efficiency
✅ Cleaner operation with better dust control
✅ More affordable recycling solutions for local businesses and households
✅ Continued investment in local jobs and infrastructure

This is the kind of behind the scenes work that never makes headlines, but it is how locally owned businesses continue to invest back into the Shoalhaven region.

Big thanks to Bella and the team at Xrido for working alongside us on this major project. We cannot wait to show you more as the upgrade progresses.

Stay tuned — there is plenty more to come from inside the factory.
