FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Nationwide Waste Solutions manages a wide range of biosecurity waste, including international catering waste, biological materials, and contaminated packaging from airports, seaports, and quarantine zones. We ensure that all waste posing biosecurity risks is safely collected, treated, and disposed of according to Australian regulations.

Quarantine waste disposal involves secure collection and incineration or autoclaving to ensure the complete destruction of potential pests, pathogens, or contaminants. Nationwide provides licensed vehicles and containers to ensure the safe transport of quarantine waste to approved treatment facilities.

Previously managed by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS), quarantine waste is now overseen by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry (DAFF). DAFF waste includes materials that could pose biosecurity risks, and Nationwide ensures that this waste is disposed of according to strict biosecurity regulations, providing full compliance with the Biosecurity Act 2015.

Biosecurity waste management is essential to prevent the introduction or spread of harmful pests, diseases, or contaminants that could threaten public health, agriculture, and the environment. Compliance with biosecurity regulations helps businesses avoid legal penalties and protect Australia's natural ecosystems.

Nationwide Waste Solutions offers biosecurity and quarantine waste management services across Australia, including in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Our services are designed to meet the needs of larger facilities and multi-site businesses that generate biosecurity-related waste.
