Economic and population growth has contributed to a rise in demand for waste management services throughout New South Wales, according to environmental studies*, which analysed Australian economic activity between 2006-2015. “Much of our economic growth can be attributed to population growth but, for all states and territories, the economy grew faster than population over the nine-year period as a result of planned infrastructure works by the NSW Government. In other words, the average amount of economic activity per person increased disproportionately.”
Aussie Skips is a family-owned skip bin company with a focus on managing skip bin waste and has been following these growth trends. We believe it is important to lead with a hands-on approach as it is critical to remain competitive and agile in the waste management industry, especially when other businesses and private parties are looking for the most efficient and effective means to cart waste materials.
“Aussie Skips has been operating since 1987, specialising in skip bin hire as well as providing a recycling service via a waste transfer facility in Strathfield South,” and the business services the metropolitan areas of Sydney. “Over the years, demand for private waste collection services has increased, and to remain competitive, it was a natural progression for Aussie Skips to invest in more efficient, higher-quality road transport equipment.
Aussie Skips has been investing in Isuzu trucks fitted with custom spec’d West-Trans Equipment bodies since January 2017 and since the initial order of three West-Trans skiploaders in January last year, Aussie Skips is expecting another four to arrive soon. “Moving forward, the business has already placed another order for this coming July for an additional six, and is also in the final stages of adding yet another six after that again,” . “Our aim is to order 12-18 skiploaders every year to keep up with growth plans and also keep our fleet looking modern.”
Aussie Skips depends on reliable and durable skiploaders, which is why we work closely with West-Trans Equipment to determine what we call the ‘Aussie Spec’. These skiploaders are specified with everything from fleet colours, lifting chains, lighting and steps for better accessibility. The overall package meets Aussie Skips operational requirements.
“West-Trans Equipment stands out because it provides comprehensive technical support and is open to making significant changes that will benefit Aussie Skips in the long-term,” . “The team at West-Trans are great to work with, especially when dealing with Mark Micallef. He has personally worked with the team at Aussie Skips in creating our unique ‘Aussie Spec’.”
