Community Programmes: Waste Diversion

TIPALOAD — Future Plan

We have not launched these programmes yet. As a startup, this page sets out what TIPALOAD will build and push in the coming phases.

Our Intent

TIPALOAD will connect builders, earthmovers, and truckies to move material quickly and keep it out of landfill. Waste diversion will be core to our product and our community work in NSW first, then other states.

What TIPALOAD Will Build in Product

Diversion‑first Job Flow

Job posts will include material types (concrete, brick/tiles, VENM/ENM soil, timber, metals, green waste, cardboard, plasterboard). Carriers will receive sorting tips before pickup.

Proof of Diversion (PoD)

Drivers will upload weighbridge dockets and photo evidence. Jobs will auto‑classify as recycled, reused, or landfilled. Dashboards will report diversion by job, site, and customer.

Preferred Recycling Sites

The app will surface vetted centres with high recovery rates, clear acceptance rules, and reliable turnaround times. Sites with better diversion performance will be promoted.

Education Assets

We will publish printable bin labels, "What Goes Where" posters, and short setup videos for jobsites inside the app.

Payments and Finance

We plan to support secure payouts (Stripe Connect), credit workflows, and optional factoring aligned to clean documentation of recycled tonnages.

Community Programmes TIPALOAD Will Launch

Builder & Renovator Toolbox Talks

Short site sessions on labelled bays, contamination control, and high‑yield recovery for concrete, brick, metal, cardboard, timber, and plasterboard.

School & TAFE Workshops

Hands‑on lessons about the circular economy and sorting, with optional tours at modern recycling centres through partner facilities.

Inclusive Employment Pathways

Partnerships with local providers to create roles in logistics and resource recovery, including Indigenous participation.

Micro‑Grants for Reuse

Small annual grants for repair cafes, tool libraries, and reuse hubs that measurably divert material.

Community Clean‑Ups & Tip Days

Seasonal events with pre‑sorted lanes for metals, e‑waste (licensed partners), green waste, and cardboard. Volunteers will help residents sort on arrival.

Operating Model TIPALOAD Will Aim For

High‑throughput Sorting Partners

We will work with centres using screens, magnets, eddy currents, air separation, optical sorters, and QC lines to recover more material.

Design for Recovery

Clear site maps, labelled bays, and contamination controls will be standard in guidance and signage.

Recycled Product Loop‑back

Builders will be able to request recycled aggregates, road base, sand, and mulch sourced from partner facilities.

Targets TIPALOAD Will Publish

Diversion rate on participating jobs: ≥75% baseline; ≥85% on concrete/brick‑heavy jobs with correct site setup.

Contamination rate: <5% where labelled bays are used.

Engagement (first 12 months post‑launch): 100+ toolbox talks, 25+ school/TAFE sessions.

Micro‑grants: at least 10 per year.

Recycled‑product pilots: 20 projects specifying recycled aggregates.

"What Goes Where" (Planned Quick Guide)

Concrete, brick, tiles: recycle into road base and aggregates.

Metals: separate ferrous/non‑ferrous for remelt.

Clean timber: remanufacture or energy recovery where permitted.

Cardboard & paper: bale to mills.

Plasterboard offcuts: gypsum recovery where accepted.

Green waste: mulch and soil conditioners.

Soil (VENM/ENM): approved reuse channels only.

Mixed C&D: send to high‑throughput sorting; minimise residuals.

Not accepted at standard C&D bays: liquids, asbestos, chemicals, gas bottles, batteries, and general e‑waste; use licensed programmes.

Governance and Reporting We Will Implement

Quarterly diversion metrics and estimates of tCO₂‑e avoided.

Clear acceptance rules, partner site lists, and safety guidance in‑app.

Annual community impact report summarising engagement, grants, and diversion outcomes.
