\n
\nMeet the founder\n

20+ years on the ground in waste

\n

James Whelan has spent more than two decades in waste and sustainability management, from top salesperson at one of Australia's largest waste companies to running a five-year waste management plan at Sydney Fish Market and helping NSW businesses through the EPA's Bin Trim program.

\n

In 2023 he started Future Waste Solutions to do things differently: an independent broker that is not tied to any one supplier, so the advice is always in the client's best interest.

\n
“From day one, my vision has been to build a waste management company that actually makes a difference.”James Whelan, Founder
