Established Recycling Business with Freehold & Growing Profits

Phone enquiries - please call

YORKES RECYCLING is a long established recycling depot operating under the South Australian Container Deposit Scheme, servicing the Southern Yorke Peninsula. The business recycles bottles, cans, plastics and milk cartons, along with cardboard, shrink wrap, newspapers, magazines, white goods, scrap steel and car and truck batteries. Customers are processed efficiently via a drive-in, drive-out system, with payment made on the spot.

Operating Monday to Friday across two sites approximately 35km apart, the business offers structured, manageable hours with no weekend or public holiday trade. The main freehold site is located in Warooka, with a secondary rental site in Minlaton. Both towns are experiencing population growth and strong tourism, providing consistent recycling demand across the region.

Established in 1972 and operated by the current family for 35 years, the business enjoys a strong local reputation and loyal customer base. Clients include individuals, hotels, caravan parks, sporting clubs and community groups, covering the region from Maitland to Marion Bay. Profit is steady and growing, with additional recyclable products being introduced and wine and spirit bottles set to enter the scheme in 2027.
