Waste & Recycling Fire Suppression Systems
Waste and recycling facilities operate in high-risk environments where heavy machinery works around the clock in direct contact with combustible materials. Quantum Firetech installs and maintains fire suppression systems built for waste conditions, offering extended discharge times and higher-volume systems designed to knock down fires fast.
From loaders and excavators to compactors and sorting equipment, we help protect operators, machinery, and facilities across Australia with reliable, compliant fire suppression solutions.
Why Fire Suppression Matters in Waste & Recycling
Fires at waste and recycling sites can start quickly and spread fast. Heat, air movement, flammable fluids, and constant contact with mixed waste materials all create the ideal environment for ignition.
Fire risks exist at every stage of the waste management chain, including waste collection, transportation and transfer stations, recycling and sorting and landfill and disposal.
In this environment, even a small fire can lead to:
- damage to high-value machinery
- shutdowns and operational delays
- costly clean-ups and insurance claims
- risks to operators and nearby workers
- compliance issues if protection systems are missing or unmaintained
Reliable fire suppression is essential for protecting people, equipment, and the facility itself.

Waste & Recycling Fire Suppression FAQs
Why are extended discharge systems important for waste machinery?
Waste materials can reignite or smoulder, so longer discharge times help ensure fires are fully extinguished.
Can you customise systems for different machines?
Yes. We tailor system volume, design, and configuration to suit the machine type and its risk points.
Do your systems meet insurer requirements?
Yes. We install and maintain systems that meet insurer and industry expectations for waste-site fire protection.
Can our team service these systems in-house?
Yes. Training can be provided for in-house servicing where suitable.
Can you service machinery operating at landfill or transfer stations?
Yes. Our technicians service equipment across metropolitan, regional, and remote waste sites.
