Dump It Bins Director Matt Calleija speaks with Waste Management Review about his decades long partnership with Bincorp.
In June, the NSW Government committed $3 billion to its infrastructure and jobs acceleration fund. The new funding will be used for smaller, ready to go projects across the state, and is anticipated to provide an extra 20,000 jobs for the NSW workforce.
As the infrastructure pipeline expands, however, so too does the generation of construction and demolition waste.
Regardless of the size of a construction site, sharp and dangerous materials such as glass, concrete, steel, plastic and wood quickly accumulate.
This is a fact well understood by Dump It Bins Director Matt Calleija, who has been working in the waste management industry for over two decades.
Dump It Bins operates extensively throughout the Sydney region, supplying skip bins to residential customers, tier one builders and major infrastructure projects.
The company also run a recycling centre and skip bin manufacturing plant, and are a proud member of the Green Building Council of Australia.
Calleija and his brother Chris started Dump It Bins in 2006 with just one truck. The company has since grown to over 30 trucks and 2500 bins, with the ability to serve the entire Sydney region.
“All our waste is tipped and sorted at our EPA licensed facility. Nothing is sent directly from our site to landfill, and anything we can’t process on site is sent to one of our recycling partners,” Calleija says.
Calleija’s family has been working in the waste management industry for generations.
His father owns and operates his own skip bin company, as do his uncles and cousins.
Together, the Calleija family has decades worth of knowledge in the waste management industry.
This industry stalwart status is mirrored by their friend and equipment supplier Tony Nott, Bincorp Managing Director, who has been working in the waste management sector for 38 years.
Calleija explains that Nott and Bincorp have been supplying Dump It Bins with hook lift frames and bins since the company’s inception.
“In my opinion, Bincorp manufacture the best quality bins in the market. You pay more upfront, but we’ve got Bincorp bins in circulation that have been going for over 15 years,” he says.
“You won’t get that sort of lifespan anywhere else.”
Durability is particularly important when dealing with construction and demolition waste, Calleija explains, due the often abrasive and heavy nature of the material. Add to that the common presence of hazardous waste, and one can see that high-strength, heavy duty bins are critical.
Bincorp manufactures hook lift bins in various sizes up to 60 cubic metres.
The containers are designed to suit individual customer transport requirements, with customisable hook height and rail spacing.
Containers are manufactured to variable thickness and design, with different heavy-duty and door options with rope rails, ladders and tarps available.
Similarly, Bincorp’s hook lift frames can be fitted to suit various hook heights and rail spacings, with a variety of controls and accessories available.
With sliding and articulating jibs, Bincorp’s frames can facilitate loads from six to 35 tonnes. The frames come equip with an automatic centre framelock to secure containers stay in place, ensuring operates meet and exceed their safety requirements.
“Over the years we’ve acquired two other styles of hook lift frames from other manufactures, and they didn’t measure up. Nott’s products are a real industry standout,” Calleija says.
In addition to hook lift frames and bins, Bincorp design and manufacture a range of containers to suit all environmental and waste requirements.
The company’s factory is fitted to suit the manufacture of all container sizes, up to some of the largest built in the industry.
Bincorp also offer customisable hooklift trays made to different lengths with chequer plate floors, rope rails, front load boards and hook lift pick-up depending on customer’s needs.
Calleija says he looks forward to continuing his relationship with Nott and Bincorp.
He adds that it’s not just the quality of the product that drives the partnership, but also Nott and his team’s commitment to customer service.
“We’ve had such a long relationship because Nott understands the industry and all the requirements it entails. You can’t go wrong with Bincorp.”
