Out in Geelong and beyond, Green Care Mulching relies on the dependability and efficiency of Develon loaders to handle most of the heavy lifting work for its various projects.

As its motto goes, Green Care Mulching works to give new life to green waste.

An expert in the field when it comes to green waste processing, land clearance, recycling of construction timber, mulching and tree removal, the company works for a diverse clientele that includes local government, waste management centres, contractors, developers and private work.

Based in Geelong, Green Care services not only its home state of Victoria, but also recycles timber in the Northern Territory and carries out grinding work across the Tasman. The company manages The Mulch Centre, which serves as its recycling arm, accepting clean green waste and timber from the public and offering quality mulch and compost products.

Green Care chief executive officer Russell Norton said its origins traced back to 1988, when he began his career as an arborist. By 2008, he expanded his grinding operations into green waste processing, and in 2009, his company became a standalone entity in recycling, specialising in vegetation and timber grinding, screening and carting.

"Over the years, Green Care Mulching has played a significant role in environmental initiatives, such as processing green organics for the City of Greater Geelong's Garden Organics Processing Facility in Anakie, which began operations in 2019," Russell said.
