Sustainability Objectives
Our steady growth has enabled us to build a micro-community of like-minded people who are genuinely connected to our ethos and vision. They understand that our contributions to the community and environment are as important as our economic gains.
In addition to the environmental and social impacts provided by our core recycling service and salvage store, we also enhance these efforts via a number of social initiatives.

Recycling
This data represents the volume of material we have diverted from landfill via our recycling depot, where everything from light gauge scrap metal to styrofoam is batched before it is transported to various processing plants for recycling.

Landfill
This is not a good number. We intensely dislike this number! It doesn’t make us feel very happy at all. It represents the amount of material we couldn’t recycle, upcycle or donate, like couches and MDF furniture. Team Tidy is actively working every single day to bring this number down to one that we can all feel happier about.

We donate usable playground equipment and other serviceable materials to schools, for use in ‘loose parts play’ activities for children.

Social Impact
Every year in June, Tidy Up participates in ‘The Push Up Challenge’, a national charity event. During a 25-day period, EACH team member completes over 3,000 push-ups to raise funds for local mental health organisations such as Lifeline WA and Headspace.
