Waste Management: From A Sow’s Ear

Ted Smith began the K&S Waste business in 1967, collecting food waste for the family owned pig farm from hotels and cafes around Melbourne. Ted could see the future of the waste removal industry and by 1999 K & S Waste was a market leader of waste removal and disposal in Melbourne.

A New Generation in Waste Management

Fast-forward to 2002 and the company began cutting a new path.  Our name was changed to KS Environmental and we added a wider range of environmentally sustainable waste management services to reflect our commitment to environmental management.  While we have grown to service over 3000 clients with over 80 vehicles, and employ over 100 staff members, our business vision remains the same.

“To be the premier provider of waste and recycling services in the Melbourne metropolitan area by providing a flexible, reliable and high quality service for our customers”
