Total Green Recycling

Total Green Recycling is a young company using a fresh approach to solve today’s growing waste problems with enthusiasm and conviction. Incorporated on the 2nd of June 2008, under the name of That Guy’s Recycling Pty Ltd, brothers Michael and James Coghill decided to build a business in the relatively unknown, emerging e-waste recycling industry. How these young men managed to start such a business is quite a unique and interesting story.

Starting initially in their fathers garage, Michael & James began researching and developing a dis-assembly process for all the electronic waste they were seeing on the side of the road. After some time a business plan was developed and with the support and generosity of their father a company was formed and operations began out of a 400m² commercial site in Bibra-Lake in 2008. TGR was born and began offering e-waste recycling services to local councils across WA.

The business grew quickly and had outgrown its first premises within only 12 months. The decision was made to expand to a larger (1,000m²) facility in Welshpool.
