Sustainable Salons is a resource recovery service that diverts 95% of salon resources from landfill and transforms those resources into a force for good, while also aiming to benefit the community and your grooming business's bottom line.
Guess what!? We’ve just launched a new groomer-specific membership.
This membership includes all the existing benefits, like on-demand courier pick-ups, team training materials, and placement on our salon directory.
The difference? It's a subscription tailored to your business's recycling needs, meaning you pay for what you use.
We have customised membership plans depending on the size of your business so that you're only paying for what you use.
Once you've signed up, we send refillable bags, separation bins of your choosing and merchandise. Your team will also receive training to set you up for success.
Start collecting hair clippings, cans and other groomer waste. When your refillable bags are full, book your collection and receive new bags to keep your sustainability journey going.
Membership starts from $75/week and is adjusted based on the amount of waste you produce for recycling. Our team will work with you to customise the membership to suit your recycling needs. You can change your level of membership at any time, with no lock-in contracts!
For solo or mobile groomers who produce less than one large wheelie bin of waste a month.
Price range: from $75 per week.
If you're just starting out and aren't ready for a membership, we also have a one-off recycling option. Our team will work with you to find the best option for your business.
For groomers who service between 200-500 clients per week and produce around one wheelie bin of waste a fortnight.
Price range: $100 - $250 per week.
For groomers who service between 550-800 clients per week and produce around one wheelie bin of waste a week.
Price range: $275 - $400 per week.
Hair is one of the most under-utilised renewable resources out there. To date we have collected 96,784kg of hair to be made into hair booms that are used to clean up oil spills or to be used in a soil treatment to nurture your plants.
Promote your business on the #1 Salon Directory where over 10,000 conscious consumers across Australia and New Zealand search for a salon every month. Our members have collectively enjoyed over $15M in additional revenue in 2024 from the directory.
When you choose to recycle your materials with Sustainable Salons, we donate the proceeds to OzHarvest and KiwiHarvest to provide meals for hungry people. Just $1 = 2 hearty meals for someone in need.
We're all about finding creative ways to repurpose and reuse materials that might usually be thought of as waste. We're on a mission to make the hair industry more sustainable, while also helping the community and your business's bottom line.
Our customers and our staff care deeply about the future and the impact we have on our communities. Having a sustainable partnership with Sustainable Salons means that we can minimise our stores footprint. We are inspired by innovation that enables us to collect dog hair from our salons to assist in oil clean-up projects in addition to recycling plastics, paper and metals. Every pooch contributes too!

Yes, we have three differing sizes available for our bins to suit businesses of all shapes & sizes. Our team will work with you to ensure that our bins cater to your space.
The pet groomer membership has a one-time set-up fee and an ongoing weekly membership fee which starts at $75/week (incl. GST). The weekly fee is based on how much recycling you need based on your business size.
The full set-up fee ($348 incl. GST) gets you in-salon separation bins, return bags and a merch kit to promote your new membership.
The lite set-up fee ($148 incl. GST) gets you stickers for your bins you already have, return bags and a merch kit to promote your new membership.
Over the last 10 years, our 1,500+ Sustainable Salons members have shown that the average amount of recyclables generated by a pet groomer is about 0.2L (about the size of a slim soda can). Our friendly team will help you work out the best plan for your size business based on the amount of waste you produce.
We accept clean, dry pet hair from the body and legs. We are unable to repurpose fur that is matted, dirty, has fleas or poo.
You can change your membership at any time. If you need to recycle more, we can increase your membership, and if you don't need to recycle as much, we can reduce it.
We currently service metro & regional locations all across Australia and New Zealand. If you’re unsure whether Sustainable Salons is available in your area, chat with our team.
