About

SoilCyclers Pty Ltd was established in February 2009. We’re a family owned and operated business based in Brisbane but operate on construction, waste and mining sites across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Our goal is to make onsite recycling ‘business as usual’ for our clients by providing innovative, cost-effective, and planet-saving solutions to reduce the use of virgin resources, avoid the risk of importing contamination to site and transform onsite waste into reusable materials. Each year, we can recycle almost half a million tons of soil, making us one of the largest soil recyclers in Queensland. Our team works with a range of clients from major construction companies to councils, state government, developers, mine sites and waste management businesses on jobs anywhere from 400m3 to 400,000m3+. SoilCyclers has mobile environmental permits allowing us to screen, ameliorate, remediate and compost temporarily on any site in Queensland. For interstate projects, we obtain permits as needed or utilise existing permits on our client’s sites. Our Doppstadt trommels are quiet enough to operate in metropolitan areas, creating less dust than most trucks. We use specialist misting cannons for sensitive sites and contaminated soil projects. We have full health, safety and environmental policies, work methods statements and fully maintained machinery suitable for large infrastructure projects and mining sites. For more information take a look at our video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyeC1ibPEP4&t=46s Our Services: Topsoil amelioration. Amelioration of large quantities of varying quality ‘unsuitable’ site soils to create MRTS16, AS4419 and R178 compliant topsoil has been our core business for more than a decade. We have excellent quality control processes in place to create guaranteed project outcomes and generate cost savings for our clients through onsite recycling. We can create ameliorated topsoils that require less watering and have the long-term ‘fuel tank’ necessary to ensure the sustainability of rehabilitated landscapes. Geotechnical soil amendments. Using the same process we use for topsoil amelioration, SoilCyclers can adjust particle size distribution, plasticity index, emerson class, compactibility and more to turn unsuitable site materials into specification fill for dam wall upgrades, landfill liners and highways. Onsite composting. SoilCyclers has recently been issued with Queensland’s first-ever mobile and temporary ERA53 composting permit. This means we can work with you to turn green waste stripped from the clearing of the site into MRTS16 or AS4454 compliant soil conditioner for much less the cost of imported compost. PFAS soil remediation. We recently completed Australia’s first onsite remediation and reuse of PFAS contaminated soil. We can permanently immobilise PFAS in soil and reduce PFAS leachate levels to undetectable levels or to a level where it can be safely disposed of in landfill or reused onsite. Acid sulphate soil remediation. Accurately blend lime so acid sulphate soils are able to be reused onsite instead of disposed of. Asbestos contaminated soil remediation. Separate non-friable asbestos and other C&D waste from soil so it can be reused onsite. Waste reduction and landfill mining. Separate waste from soil to reduce the amount of waste being disposed of offsite or reduce the classification and cost of waste disposal. Sorting and processing of old landfills and illegal tipsites to reduce the cost of relocation and recover usable resources. Recycling mine tailings and overburden. Transforming mine waste, including tailings and overburden, into topsoil to help with challenging mine rehabilitation projects and to create new agricultural industries around mine sites.

Sustainability Outcomes

Environmental benefits. Working with SoilCyclers to repurpose existing site materials into specification materials for reuse on the project means less trucks on local roads carting around materials, less carbon emissions, less waste disposed of offsite and less use of natural resources. SoilCyclers can support your project to meet the requirements of the following categories/credits: Land. ISv1.2 L3 Lan-2- SoilCyclers can help you improve soil productivity through our soil amendment, composting, amelioration and remediation services. Resource Efficiency. ISv1.2 Lan-3 & ISv2.0 Rso-2, Rso-3 – SoilCyclers can support your project in remediation of contaminated soil and management of Acid Sulphate Soils found on site, reducing the need for importing raw materials Resource recovery. ISv1.2 Was-2 & ISv2.0 Rso-4 – Our onsite soil remediation service can reduce the amount of waste you need to dispose of offsite. In addition, SoilCyclers has recently been issued with Queensland’s first ever mobile and temporary ERA53 composting permit. This means we can work with you to turn green waste stripped from the clearing of the site into MRTS16 compliant soil conditioner for a fraction of the price of imported compost. Energy and Carbon. ISv2.0 Ene-1- Projects with large emissions associated with waste carting may be able to claim scope 3 emissions savings as a result of using our mobile remediation and onsite composting services. Reduced risk. SoilCyclers has a well-developed system for tracking and reporting to our clients on quantities produced, and validation test results received. Our entire recycling process is based on testing existing site materials, undertaking amelioration recommendations from a qualified soil scientist to get the material to the required specification, accurately blending materials, and providing independent validation testing so you have certification for all materials being used. We know our numbers, and our business model is focused on creating the best outcomes for our construction client projects rather than waste disposal. We are also good communicators with enough knowledge to identify potential issues early and familiarity with working in a collaborative contracting environment.
