Quayclean secures cleaning contracts at four Venues NSW facilities

Leading Australian-owned cleaning, hygiene and waste management services company, Quayclean Australia, has been awarded the cleaning and presentation contract by Venues NSW for Accor Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park, CommBank Stadium in Parramatta and Wollongong’s WIN Stadium and Entertainment Centre.

In taking on the contracts, Quayclean will be targeting an 85% recycling rate at each of the venues.

Advising that the company is honoured to be working with the four sporting and entertainment precincts to ensure attendees enjoy the best in-venue experience from the moment they pass through the turnstiles, Quayclean Chief Executive, Mark Piwkowski stated “the spectator experience commences from the moment they enter a facility. We believe the quality of work performed by our teams, together with their dedicated work ethic and commitment, will provide a superior service for the hundreds of thousands of fans who will attend events at these four venues each year.

“We will work in partnership with each venue manager and their stakeholders to set new benchmarks for environmental and sustainability standards by adopting the three Rs – reduce, reuse, and recycle.

“Quayclean will deliver and implement a stakeholder recycling plan for property, catering, grounds, and food related activities. This plan will focus on stakeholder education, engagement, and reporting.

“There will be a heavy emphasis on eliminating contamination with a particular focus on organic matter, and we want to have a 100% elimination of non-cyclable materials such as single use plastics.

Piwkowski added “we will develop innovative systems, technologies and resources that optimise labour in the most efficient manner and maintain our steadfast commitment to six of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.”

Venues NSW General Manager Safety, Security and Facilities, Johnny Naofal commented “Quayclean’s commitment to providing an increasingly sustainable service is important to Venues NSW, the NSW Government, and those who play and perform at our venues, and most importantly, the people who fill the stands to watch.”
