Kill the tipping bill
Sydney tip fees routinely run $80-120/t. A 1,000 t job can burn $100k on disposal alone. Crush onsite and that line disappears.

Why crush onsite in Sydney
Three real reasons the numbers work.
This isn’t about greenwashing. Onsite crushing removes line items from your estimate that you were already paying for.
◎
Cut Sydney truck movements
Every outbound load is a round-trip through Sydney traffic. On a 1,000 t project at 12 t/truck that’s 83 movements. Crushing eliminates most of them and the traffic risk.
★
Reuse your own aggregate
Crushed material stockpiles onsite for drainage, road base or fill. Spec it for reuse and skip the inbound aggregate purchase entirely.
The fleet

FAQ
Questions Sydney contractors ask first.
How quickly can a crusher be onsite in Sydney?+
We aim to mobilise within 48 hours for scheduled work across greater Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and the Central Coast. Urgent breakdowns trigger a 24/7 response from our Sydney base.
What materials do your crushers process?+
Concrete (including reinforced), brick, asphalt, natural rock and mixed C&D waste. Rebar separation is included as standard on the Komplet fleet. Reinforced material may require a prep pass before crushing; our operators quote accordingly.
Do you provide operators or is it dry hire?+
Both. Wet hire includes a certified operator, fuel and site supervision. Dry hire is machine-only with your own operator. Mixed packages (machine + operator for one shift, then dry) are available for longer projects.
What volumes make onsite crushing worthwhile?+
Generally projects over 300 tonnes. Sydney tip fees and inner-city haul times often push the break-even lower. Run the calculator on this page to see your specific savings, including tipping, haul time and replacement aggregate.
Do you work with Tier 1 contractors?+
Yes. We have prequalified status with several Tier 1 civil and tunnelling contractors and have supported WestConnex, NorthConnex, Western Sydney Airport and NSW Government civil works. Full insurance, mine-spec compliance and operator tickets available.
Which Sydney areas do you cover?+
All of greater Sydney, including the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Sutherland Shire, South West and Western Sydney. Same fleet extends to Newcastle, the Central Coast, Wollongong and the Illawarra.
