Our History

Don’t Waste began in 1994 in South Africa, with a vision to lead the waste management industry to new heights. At its inception, Don’t Waste had a mission to provide an environmentally friendly, hygienic and cost effective holistic waste management service to all retail, shopping centres, commercial, industrial, educational & speciality clients.

This was originally in the form of site based services, providing staff, supervision and management to manage daily waste streams on a client’s behalf with the aim to reduce and minimise waste to landfill and recovering materials for the recycling industry. Over 20 years, the Company experienced major growth and now operates in 6 countries around the world, providing services to hundreds of top, blue chip, clients around the world. As waste legislation matured internationally, there was a growing need for companies to manage compliance risk and waste duty of care. This coupled with corporate governance requirements for sustainability reporting, created a further need for the world class waste management systems that Don’t Waste had already developed. WARMS, (waste administration, reporting and management system) , allows clients a high level of data management, report generating functionality, environmental accounting, source waste management, tracking of loads ordered and collected, duty of care and document management for every load, from multiple sites and multiple providers, portfolios, allowing clients to measure performances and environmental outcomes. These systems come from a company that understands waste management at a site level and through its hard earned practical experiences. This same experience is available to all our system clients as management support and analytics. In different markets, Don’t Waste provides a range of solutions, all with the same core output, “to protect our environment”.
