Organic Waste recycling – waste streams
Organic Liquid waste recycling
Our liquid waste recycling services are ideal for waste transporters and waste generators – such as shopping centres, food manufacturers, mining and resources companies, industrial operators, civil and building contractors, and asset and facilities managers. Through direct contracts, or via clients’ waste transport or agency providers, we are fully licensed to accept organic and non-organic liquid waste streams.
Liquid waste streams are regulated by strict legislation. We offer a thorough waste questionnaire to streamline the process while ensuring compliance, and our internal HSEQ team supports rapid processing and analysis. When clients are not able to supply the required preliminary information for assessment, we can support the process by undertaking testing on their behalf.
Numerous companies look to NuGrow to support their ongoing liquid waste management and we also work with local regulators to swiftly respond to emergency and natural disaster requirements.

Food organics garden organics (FOGO)
FOGO is the next frontier of opportunity for Queensland in relation to sustainable waste management. For councils, NuGrow is the leading and longest-serving FOGO operator in Queensland. FOGO provides an exciting avenue to ensure residential waste is beneficially used to create high-grade composts, rather than going to landfill. NuGrow provides full contract ownership, delivering a simple, proven solution. Our approach uses existing green bin systems to minimise the cost of implementation. We can also support community and school engagement to improve adoption rates. With waste levies and other costs to consider, efficiently-run FOGO services provide taxpayer value while reducing a community’s carbon footprint. NuGrow’s facilities can also be used to bypass transfer stations as our facilities can accept most transport vehicle types, minimising unnecessary vehicle movements.
NuGrow’s FOGO service is also perfectly suited to food industry providers, major event managers, and market/festival operators. Beyond waste collection, we can support clients with recycling education advice as well as direction regarding next generation compostable products such as bags, plates, cutlery, proteins and dairy products.
Ipswich leading the way
NuGrow is the first and only dedicated FOGO operator in Queensland – with Ipswich City Council. We have partnered with Council since 2011 to support a sustainable solution to growing waste streams. This included eliminating double-handling by removing the need for a transfer station, and beneficially using products manufactured out of the green bin materials within the community.

We are able to accept all green waste mediums as well as untreated and heat-treated timbers, via delivery to our facilities or on-site grinding and removal.

Our equipment’s load weighing devices provide real-time waste volume reporting. This further supports cost savings and accurate data collection. We also have staff trained in asbestos and fire ant management, extending the value of our comprehensive HSEQ processes.
