Our Application to Continue Clarinda Recycling Facility Operations

Almost every Victorian has driven on a ‘green road’, built from materials recycled by Alex Fraser.

Alex Fraser supplies recycled construction materials to projects including the Level Crossing Removal Projects, Monash Freeway Upgrade, Thompsons Road Upgrade, and the Hallam Road Upgrade. It is also ideally located to supply the planned Suburban Rail Loop, South Eastern Roads Upgrade, and Mordialloc Freeway.

Alex Fraser has asked Kingston City Council to extend the operating permit for its Clarinda Recycling Facility so it can continue to provide one million tonnes a year of recycled resources to major infrastructure projects in Melbourne’s south east.

Media Statement

Preserving the Clarinda Recycling Facility for the long term will give Victoria a solution to the state-wide recycling crisis.

The state’s natural resource shortage is pushing out budgets and timelines for Victoria’s Big Build. The Clarinda Recycling Facility helps alleviate that strain, providing a local, reliable and cost-effective supply of sustainable construction material that reduces carbon emissions.

The Clarinda Recycling Facility is a proven example of the circular economy in action. It is an important shift away from Kingston’s past landfill and quarry activities to a more sustainable future.
