Who We Help
LGA’s & Governments
Supporting councils with modern waste solutions that deliver real outcomes for communities.
Council Skip Bins for LGAs and Government
A platform built for councils that want cleaner streets, happier residents, and measurable environmental results.
We helped the Gold Coast council divert
up to
78%
of their waste from landfill.
Combining technology and data for better decision-making
Modern waste management needs more than trucks and collections. It needs clear, reliable data that helps councils plan, budget, and deliver services the community trusts.
Handel captures information at every stage of the process - bookings, collections, weights, waste types, contamination indicators, recovery outcomes - and turns it into clean, digestible insights.
For waste managers, this means better forecasting, fewer blind spots, and measurable performance.
For mayors and councillors, it delivers transparency, improved community satisfaction, and evidence that public funding is being used responsibly.
With consistent data and modern reporting tools, LGAs can reduce illegal dumping, lift diversion rates, and demonstrate leadership in environmental sustainability.
To achieve these outcomes, councils rely on:
Waste Data Access
Real-time visibility of service data, from volumes to contractor performance, supporting both operational oversight and informed decision-making.
Smart Waste Processing
Technology and logistics working together to cut contamination and improve recovery, strengthening both daily operations and long-term policy targets.
Landfill Diversion
Clear visibility of what’s being diverted, what’s being recovered, and how programs are trending over time.
Economic Impact
Evidence-backed reporting that shows financial benefits, community outcomes, and long-term sustainability gains.
Cost-Saving Recycling
Data-led pathways that move more material out of landfill and into recycling, improving sustainability outcomes without increasing costs.
handel was born to support you.
The traditional model is outdated, expensive, and difficult to scale. Handel introduces a smarter, transparent, resident-focused model that reduces inbound calls, cuts collection delays, and creates the accountability councils have been asking for.
The alternative option?
A lightweight, traceable, and user-friendly FlexiSkip.
HANDEL'S CUSTOMER-CENTRIC PLATFORM
