Our Story and Commitment
Approved Waste Services began with a simple promise: to offer dependable waste solutions backed by honesty and care. Founder Blake Elliott, who grew up in the industry, built the company on the values of integrity and service. His vision was clear: to create a business where clients always feel supported, regardless of the size or complexity of their needs.
As a locally owned and family-operated business, we combine personal service with professionalism. Our clients deal directly with us, ensuring reliability and accountability throughout the process.
Built on Values, Focused on the Future
At Approved Waste Services, our philosophy is simple—do the job right, every time. We achieve this by following the principles that shape our business: environmental responsibility, safety, compliance, and clear communication. These values are not just words; they underpin how we approach each task, from recycling programs to emergency call-outs.
We understand that every client has different priorities, so flexibility is essential. Some require scheduled collections to keep operations running smoothly, while others need urgent assistance at short notice. By offering both, we ensure waste is managed without stress or delay. Transparency is also essential, which is why we provide open communication and reliable service throughout the entire process.

Paul Cass - Dicks Hotel Balmain
We’ve been with Approved Waste Services for a few years now, and they’ve been fantastic. After struggling with a big waste company that constantly let us down, switching to Blake and the team was the best decision we made. Their service and communication are spot on — we couldn’t recommend them more!
