- 70,000 cubic metres of timber is recycled to create an enviro-friendly mulch
- 100,000 tonnes of brick and concrete is recycled per year and processed into recycled aggregates and sand for the building, landscape and construction industries
As a recycling facility, apart from putrescible waste (food scraps, nappies etc), Benedict accepts all types of household and commercial waste, however the company is not licensed to handle asbestos and any flammable, toxic or hazardous waste.
Benedict currently has facilities in Wollongong, Sydney and Newcastle and plans to expand operations with three more locations in 2018.
