Western Composting Technology

At Western Composting Technology (WCT), we are committed to providing innovative and environmentally-friendly solutions for waste resource management. Our team of experts has extensive experience in building, owning, and operating alternative waste treatment facilities in Australia. We utilize cutting-edge technologies, including in-vessel (tunnel), windrow, and aerated static pile composting, as well as anaerobic digestion (wet and dry).

Our Journey

Our journey began in 2004 when the Dickens family established WCT to compete for the Greater Shepparton City Council's tender to build, own, and operate the first alternative waste treatment facility in Victoria. Since then, we have grown to become a respected leader in the industry, with a strong track record of delivering practical, innovative solutions for waste resource management to over 2,000 commercial and government clients.

Our Services

We offer a range of services, including food waste collection for businesses, local governments, and commercial clients. Our expertise extends to composting, tunnel composting technology, and waste treatment technologies. We partner with local governments to provide effective and efficient means of composting, and we also offer high-quality compost products that meet Australian standards.

Our Technology

Our flagship Shepparton composting plant utilizes Horstmann-WTT tunnel composting technology from Germany, which enables us to efficiently process green waste, garden waste, and commercial food waste into usable compost products. Our tunnel composting technology allows us to carefully control environmental conditions during the composting process, minimizing odors and leachate.

Our Philosophy

At WCT, we believe in embracing what works: building partnerships, sharing information, educating our industry and communities, and being agile. We are committed to delivering excellence to our customers and communities, and consistently meeting high standards. Our philosophy is to benefit the environment, our customers, other businesses, and local communities in every region we operate.
