The Story So Far…

Since it’s Humble Beginnings in 2013, Carbon Collectors Pty Ltd have Grown to Become the Leaders in Refrigerant Recovery of End-of-Life Equipment throughout SE and Nth Queensland. A Dedicated, Stand-Alone Business Established to Service Council’s and the Recycling Industries in General, Rising to Meet the Needs of Mandatory Refrigerant Recovery from End-of-Life Equipment at Waste Facilities, Metal Recyclers and Demolition Companies, Struggling to find Cost-Effective Solutions to Compliance Regulation Requirements.

Currently operating at 41 Council Waste Facilities, we cover a lot of Kilometres and have degassed an impressive amount of End-of-Life Equipment, enduring the harsh conditions that come with working outdoors in Queensland. Our Equipment, Methods and Procedures have developed over time, allowing us to Efficiently and Effectively Recover All Types of Refrigerant Gases from a Vast Array of End-of-Life equipment.

Our Collective Figures are Impressive for 2 Small Operators, having Degassed over 90,000 Fridges, Freezers and 19,000 Airconditioning Units, Recovering over 10,000Kg of Harmful, Polluting Synthetic Greenhouse Gases and Ozone Depleting Substances such as HFC, CFC and HCFC, commonly found in Fridges and Airconditioners.

Consider that 1Kg of Refrigerant Gas Deliberately Released has a Carbon Equivalent of 2000Kg, the 10,000Kg we have Recovered so far is a Massive Saving for our Environment, Preventing 20,000,000Kg of Carbon Dioxide from Forming in the Atmosphere and Stratosphere.

Some May Be Impressed by these Figures, Others May Consider it a Drop in the Ocean so Why Bother. Fact is it’s a Legal Requirement for some, and Consumers in the most part consider it a Moral Obligation to Dispose of Their End-of-Life Equipment in an Environmentally Friendly Manner, for the Better of Future Generations. Carbon Collectors are Proud to be Doing Their Bit to Make a Difference, Every Little Bit Counts…
