Fyansford waste recovery
facility and landfill

The Fyansford waste recovery and landfill site plays a crucial role in the Geelong region, catering to a substantial geographic area.

Our Fyansford site accepts solid inert waste as well as prescribed industrial waste (asbestos) under EPA license OL000011848. Operating according to this license, our Fyansford site regularly undergoes license compliance assessments and larger annual assessments, ensuring our waste management practices are safe for the surrounding communities as well as our staff

Keeping disruptions to a minimum

Sycle manages our Fyansford facility under an EPA license, holding the facility’s environmental management to a high standard to ensure it doesn’t affect our surrounding community.

The facility is equipped with a range of specialised tools to manage operations. Central to this is the management and suppression of dust, noise and odour, where significant investments have been made to ensure we operate within the guidelines of our EPA license. Some of these investments include:

• On-site street sweepers and water carts to minimise airborne dust
• Ongoing use of Polo Citrus dust suppressant products, an Australian brand that produces environmentally friendly cleaning and dust suppressant solutions
• An upcoming biofilter initiative, partnering with industry-leading consultants using organic media to suppress odours. Past trials at similar facilities have had successful results, and all testing and monitoring is conducted and reported by an independent environmental consultant.

Socially minded
 

Sycle was born in the Geelong region, and we care about our community. Since setting up operations, Sycle has engaged with various Geelong-based community programs:

• Sycle’s ground maintenance team at Fyansford is engaged through GenU, a Geelong-based NDIS and disability support business
• Several employees of the Sycle team have been supplied by the Power in You Project, a Geelong-based rehabilitation program
• On a local community level, Sycle, together with Symal, proudly sponsors a number of local sporting teams and players in the Geelong region including Torquay Football and Netball Club, Geelong West Giants, Newtown and Chilwell Football Netball Club, St Peters Cricket Club and Lara Tennis Club.

Sycle also engages with Wamarra to provide operational support at our facilities. Wamarra is an Indigenous-run business that provides meaningful careers to Aboriginal people through long-term and sustainable employment.
