Our Top 10 Environmental Goals

🌿 Sydney Street Projects – Our Top 10 Environmental Goals

“How we hope to help and protect the Upper Hunter and beyond through practical, responsible environmental stewardship”.

🌏 Our Environmental Commitment

Sydney Street Projects (SSP) is built on a simple principle:
We leave every place cleaner, safer, and healthier than we found it.

These below 10 goals guide our environmental decisions every day.

1️⃣ Responsible Waste Management

♻️ We deliver all services in a way that protects the environment and complies with NSW environmental legislation, including the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997.

2️⃣ Pollution Prevention

🛑 Preventing pollution is a core part of our work — from property clean‑ups to junk removal, we ensure contaminants never enter soil, waterways, or public spaces.

3️⃣ Safe Handling of Materials

🧤 We safely handle all materials encountered onsite, including potentially hazardous items identified during risk assessments, ensuring no harm to people or the environment.

4️⃣ Waste Stream Segregation

🗂️ We separate waste into correct streams — general waste, green waste, metals, recyclables — to prevent contamination and maximise recovery.

5️⃣ Use of Licensed Facilities

🏛️ All waste is transported only to licensed disposal or recycling facilities in line with EPA and council requirements. No shortcuts. No illegal dumping. Ever.

6️⃣ Minimising Landfill Impact

🌱 We reduce landfill volumes by sorting, recovering, and recycling materials wherever possible — returning resources to manufacturing streams.

7️⃣ Illegal Dumping Remediation

🚮 We support councils and communities by cleaning up illegal dumping sites, restoring natural areas, and reducing litter across the Upper Hunter.

8️⃣ Supporting a Circular Economy

🔄 We identify and salvage materials with resource‑recovery value, metals, timber, bricks and more, keeping them circulating in the economy instead of going to waste.

9️⃣ Transparent Reporting & Cooperation

📑 We provide transparent disposal reporting to clients and cooperate fully with regulatory authorities to maintain environmental compliance.

🔟 Continuous Environmental Improvement

📈 We review environmental performance, incident trends, and operational data to strengthen controls and improve outcomes as SSP grows.

🌼 Why These Goals Matter

These commitments aren’t just policy statements, they shape how we work, how we train and how we do our best to protect the Upper Hunter and Beyond’s environment every day.
