What is Garbologie?
We want to create a world without waste.
Seriously. Waste is a failure of imagination, a lack of courage, a support of mediocrity. We hate to see dumb things done in the name of the status quo.
Waste is a waste and Garbologie will change the world to get rid of it.
How will Garbologie do this?
We will build businesses that make waste into products for remanufacturing. We will build businesses with great people, businesses that engage and energise people. Our people will own equity in Garbologie. We will become a movement.
We believe that the waste industry has gone down a one way street that leads to big expensive, hegemonic waste processing plants. They ignore the individual and treat everything as one. The Garbologie way is to treat every material as something unique and valuable and to play, play, play with ideas until we find an answer, a use, a purpose.
We have fun with what we do. We communicate. We pay very close attention to detail, because god is in the details. It is in the details that we can find solutions that others miss. It is in the details that we make our customers happy, make products from waste and change the world.
What’s next for Garbologie?
We’re setting down a broad foundation from which to develop. We’re creating five distinct businesses that deliver on currently pressing needs in Perth:
- Mattress processing: Collecting and dismantling mattresses to recover steel and foam and anything else.
- Tip/Shop: For self-haul waste, offering a great customer experience and reselling, recycling and dismantling waste received.
- Consulting: Providing waste management advice to create a world without waste.
- Plastics collection: Collecting plastic bags from supermarket collection points around Perth under contract to the RED Group (which recycles them into park benches).
- Glass processing: A glass fines clean-up and grinding plant, making powders for sale into fibreglass, termite barrier, water filtration, brick making and other markets.
Who do we want?
There’s immense opportunity in each of these businesses for the right people.
We know we’re in for a battle with the suits, the bureaucrats and the boring people who’d rather stick their heads in the sand than challenge the prevailing authority. We’re waste warriors. We’re looking for people who are willing to wave the banner for a waste-free future and ride into battle in the boardrooms, living rooms and parliament rooms of Australia.
How do you fit in?
A great business needs great people and we’re looking for great people willing to change the world through waste. We’re looking for entrepreneurs, risk-takers, thrill-seekers and believers. If you’re ready to have a crack at making a difference and making something magnificent - we need to talk.
Garbologie is an opportunity on the move. We’re going too fast to bother much with job descriptions and titles and all that. We want people who want to make it happen. So you’ll be prepared to collect bags, mattresses, dismantle mattresses, help customers out and generally be an all round hero. It’s not always physical work, but it is varied and immensely rewarding. And along the way, we’ll all learn together and build up new business that we’ve not even dreamed of yet.
We can work around you. If you would rather work half days, then we can do that. Evening work we can do too. Even if you are not ready for the opportunity just yet, we can learn what you need, what you want, when you might be ready.
What do we pay?
Right now we are paying $25/hour or $5 per mattress if you are dismantling mattresses. We’ll give you all the tools you need to dismantle mattresses as fast as humanly possible (while keeping fingers and toes intact...). We’ll contribute to your superannuation on top of that, and provide you with some spiffy work clothes.
And in time, we’ll look at equity or profit sharing or whatever works out for us all.
Interested?
Are you ready to change the world? Can you imagine a world without waste? Are you willing to fight for our purpose, defend our vision and fly the banner for a waste free future?
If so, please get in touch. Contact details at the Garbologie About page.
