In some areas, Subloo’s have had a substantial involvement in design of the waste facility to provide for best practice in the management of waste.

The subsidiary, Wamco Pty Ltd, was formed to assist Subloos in the licensing process of all cartage of regulated wastes. Wamco holds all Queensland EPA licences for the cartage of regulated wastes and liquid waste throughout Qld.

All waste transfer operations where Subloo’s have the authority include a recycling element. The extent varies depending on location and resources available at facilities provided under contract, but the inclusion of recycling is a tenet of the management philosophy of the company.

Current recycling operations include construction and demolition waste such as concrete and masonry, metals and timber, paper and cardboard, glass, plastics, batteries and green waste.

In total, Subloo’s current annual throughput of waste via transfer stations is some 131 000 tonnes. Of this, approximately 39 000 tonnes are recycled. The company transports another 30 000 tonnes of waste under unrelated contracts.

The equality and worth of all members of the community is recognised by Subloos. Of the current 100 - 120 person workforce, more than 20% are of indigenous background and / or suffer disability.

Subloo’s follows formal QA procedures with a detailed QA system in place and engages employees in the QA process to continually improve the abilities and effectiveness of the company.

The company recognises the importance of the environment. Recycling was introduced as a fundamental to Subloo’s Waste Management some 15 years ago and a formal Environmental policy is strictly adhered to throughout the company.

Subloo’s will continue to build on their proud history to provide quality of service and to work towards a better environment.
