Calleja Group

About

From humble beginnings as a one-truck waste transport business in 1950, the family-run Calleja Group is today driving the Bacchus Marsh-based JBD Industrial Park, and is behind a revolutionary and clean brown coal drying process. We are dedicated to an entrepreneurial, innovative business philosophy, throughout the scope of our various and complementary businesses. Calleja operates two transfer stations, one at the main transport depot in Altona and the other at Newlands Road Coburg North. The Altona site has a Green Star approved semi-automatic separation system to process construction waste from projects that demand that waste created must be processed and segregated to the highest possible level. There is also a facility to process normal industrial and demolition waste which is manually separated for timber, cardboard, metals and electronic waste. All remaining waste is transferred to the Bacchus Marsh landfill. The Coburg site separates industrial waste into timber, concrete, bricks, cardboard, metals, electronic and green waste using manual and magnetic separation with the balance going to the Bacchus Marsh landfill. The main transport depot in Altona services the entire transport and materials handling fleet with qualified mechanics working on daily and overnight shifts. The site also develops and constructs new trailers and equipment as well as repairing existing equipment and bins.
