About us

Waste management. Good and proper.

Ey up, we’re Vantage.

We’re the people taking waste worries off your plate.

Scrappy and resourceful at our core, we do the whole lot ourselves. Start to finish. That includes the specialist stuff. The haz stuff. The non-haz stuff. The stuff other companies don’t (or can’t) touch.

And while we put loads of things to waste. Like vapes. Batteries. Car parts. We’ll never waste your time. Make a request and we’ll fire into action within 72 hours max. Often, you’ll get a quote within the hour.

But why us? Well, we’re trusted by every automotive manufacturer under the sun. So you know you can trust us, too.

Two decades ago, we turned a recycler’s nightmare into our dream business.

We started as a mail order company selling car parts from unrepairable vehicles. As the business grew, we noticed a surplus of older airbags was building up at dismantlers. They’re pretty hazardous parts. A recycler’s nightmare.

This set off a bit of a lightbulb. We R&D’d the crap out of the process, to come up with our own way of getting rid of airbags.

By pure coincidence, a rep from one of the biggest European car manufacturers wandered into our reception, asking for directions to a supplier based down the road. It turns out: They needed someone who could help them get rid of old airbags.

A coffee and a few chats later, we showed the rep the airbag recycling chamber we were working on. The first demo didn’t go well, and the lid blew off the machine. Luckily, after a (smoother) second attempt, he loved what he saw and offered us a contract.

We said: “Aye, we’ll do it”, and that contract is still going strong, over 22 years later.

Since then, we’ve grown to work with almost 30 major car manufacturers. Never ones to sit still, we’ve expanded our services and client list, partnering with big players in waste, aviation, police and border force, and more.
