01
Defensible over impressive
If we can't trace a number back to a sensor, a published factor, or a counted lift, we don't show it. Confidence intervals are honest, not hidden.
About us
We make waste visible.
Skip & Co is an Australian waste-management firm built around a simple thesis. Most operators have no idea what they actually throw away, when they throw it, or what it costs them. Not in dollars. Not in tonnes of CO₂-e. Not in regulatory exposure. We close that gap.
Our thesis
The invoice is not the price.
For most Australian businesses, “waste” is a line-item handled by procurement and never looked at again. The actual cost runs two to five times the invoice number once you count the landfill levy, the hauler markup, the oversized bins, the under-utilised lifts, and the carbon exposure sitting on the Scope 3 ledger.
We exist to put that real cost in front of operators, then close the gap. The toolkit is unglamorous. Fill sensors. A right-sized service contract. A carbon ledger that reconciles to a single source of truth. An operator console that surfaces the one number that matters this week.
The 2028 FOGO mandate and AASB S2 mandatory climate disclosure don't change our pitch. They just make it urgent.
Principles
How we run an engagement.
02
Operator-first
Dashboards exist to drive decisions. If a panel doesn't help you act this week, we cut it. No vanity metrics.
03
Plain English
Methodology, levy maths, and ledger entries are written so a procurement lead can verify them, not just a sustainability consultant.
04
Skin in the game
Our engagements include savings targets we share the upside on. If we don't move the needle, you don't pay full.

Kapish Thaker
Founder & Principal
Kapish started Skip & Co after watching the same problem repeat from site to site. Businesses paying to empty bins that were half full, with no real visibility into what was inside them. The model was built around the truck, not the business paying for it.
You should be running your business, not decoding an invoice. He built Skip & Co to take that off your plate without taking you out of the picture: every kilogram accounted for, every collection logged, every invoice clear enough to read without calling sustainability.
The data belongs to the client, not the contractor. With Greater Sydney's landfill capacity projected to run out by 2030, that clarity isn't a nice-to-have anymore.
