Who is clean vibes?
Clean Vibes was established from our passion for sustainability and providing a clean, safe working environment. We pride ourselves on our first-class event cleaning and waste management services, delivered by a team with extensive expertise.
As a market-leading provider of sustainable cleaning and waste management services, we deliver exceptional solutions across a range of industries, including venues, festivals, events, councils, and businesses.
How we started
Andrew Macarthur, founder of Clean Vibes, launched his career in the industry in 2009. He started as an Area Manager for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, where he oversaw services for two key Games sites. This role sparked his passion for the industry, leading him to take on the position of Cleaning Manager for the Reading Music Festival, one of the UK’s premier festivals. Managing waste and recycling for an event with over 100,000 attendees and 800 tonnes of waste over four days was a pivotal experience for Andrew.
Upon returning to Australia, Andrew worked as a Manager in the cleaning industry. During this period, he recognised numerous opportunities to improve sustainability practices within the industry. Driven by a commitment to environmental stewardship and a desire to offer high-quality service, Andrew founded Clean Vibes. His vision was to create a company that not only provides exceptional cleaning and waste management services but also prioritises straightforward, affordable, and sustainable solutions for all clients. Clean Vibes embodies this vision by continuously innovating and implementing practices that reduce environmental impact while ensuring top-notch services.

Committed to a sustainable future
- Waste sorting
We initiate waste sorting at designated bin stations within Front of House (FOH) areas, providing clearly marked waste streams to help attendees make informed disposal decisions.
- Waste Audits
Our dedicated team conducts waste audits throughout all our events in Back of House (BOH) and FOH locations, ensuring correct waste stream utilisation. Any discrepancies are promptly communicated to our sustainability manager for corrective action.
- Site clean-up
While on the job, our event cleaning specialists patrol sites continuously with pick-up sticks and buckets to maintain cleanliness and deter improper disposal. By keeping the environment tidy, we aim to discourage littering and promote responsible behaviour among attendees.
- Container deposit scheme
As part of our commitment, we provide logistics for the National Container Deposit Scheme (CDS) across Australia. Our service streamlines recycling by handling the collection and processing of eligible containers. We operate automated depots in Mascot and Silverwater (NSW), Melton and Coburg North (VIC), offering a 10¢ refund per eligible item.
- Waste stream bin covers and signage
Visual aids such as waste stream bin covers and signage are crucial in guiding patrons toward proper waste disposal. Each product brought to the site is assigned to an appropriate waste stream, with additional signage strategically placed at each bin station for clear instructions.
- Education
We recognise the importance of educating event attendees on waste reduction, reuse, and recycling, amplifying awareness beyond the event. Composting initiatives divert event compostables to community gardens or industrial composting facilities, while transitioning from compostable to reusable cups reduces costs and waste associated with single-use items.
- Resource recovery
We are committed to maximising resource recovery by separating materials from waste streams that can be recycled into new products. Our goal is to divert as much waste from landfill as possible. By sorting waste into multiple streams, we ensure that materials like timber, soft plastics, paper, cardboard, organics, general waste, bottles and cans, and even fence scrim are properly recycled. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also promotes a circular economy by turning waste into valuable resources.
