Access Trading Company Pty. Limited was incorporated in Cowra, NSW, in 1995. The business was formed to provide metal recycling services to industries throughout the central west of NSW.
In 1997 the operation moved to Barmedman and established what is now known as Access Recycling. Over the following years the business evolved in response to the need to deliver quality recycling services in a wider area.
We now have a strong management team with many years of experience in all facets of recycling. We operate throughout NSW and Victoria providing recycling solutions to all levels of industry. In doing this we now have branches in Barmedman, Griffith, Cobar and Newcastle.
Our business is built on skills, experience and equipment resources capable of adapting to the specific needs of our clients. We have an excellent track record when it comes to safety and environmental care.
This can be attributed to our dedicated staff of more than 60 full time employees and our strong organisational structure and committed management team.
Our capability includes the following:
- Over 20 trucks of all sizes, from 12 tonne skip bin trucks up to 120 cubic metre B.double tippers and heavy floats
- 15 excavators with various attachments including electromagnets, grapples, shears, hydraulic sleeper handlers and sleeper base plate removers
- A variety of other machinery including 3 modified log-forwarders with tipping bodies, timber chippers, front end loaders of all sizes, mobile cranes from 5 to 45 tonne capacity
At our Barmedman facility we also boast a large and modern workshop, with over 1000m of floor space to manufacture specialist recycling industry equipment.
Our true specialty is to take resource recovery problems and create recycling solutions. This process often includes developing the concept, manufacturing the equipment, providing all the heavy lifting and transport as well as marketing the recovered resources.
Examples of these recycling solutions include:
- Providing scrap metal processing and transport services to Sims Metal. This includes the management and metal recovery from over 40 council landfill sites throughout NSW since 1998.
- Providing resource recovery and recycling solutions to Australian Rail Track Corporation
- Providing scrap metal processing services to the OneSteel Rod and Bar Products Mill, Newcastle, since 1999.
- Heavy lifting, transporting and dismantling of redundant rolling stock for the rail industry. Since 1990 we have scrapped more than 2,000 railway freight wagons throughout NSW, Victoria and South Australia.
- Management and recycling of plasterboard and fibre cement waste for CSR Building Products. As part of this service we operate a crushing and screening plant at our Barmedman site. This is done under the strict controls of our EPA Environment Protection Licence.
- Bulk scrap metal transport for individuals and scrap metal dealers throughout NSW and Victoria
- Operating our fixed yards to provide metal recycling services to the communities in our region. This includes a wide variety of services from farm and factory cleanups, providing scheduled bin services to mines, buying old white goods and car bodies from individuals and proving a 'best price' sell point for scrap produced by tradesmen.
Access Recycling is continually looking towards the future by exploring ways to deliver superior service.
