Prominent buyer of recyclable waste & emerging waste management company

Serious Buyers Pty Ltd is owned by Ofentse Mokgatle, an experienced entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in business development and marketing.

The company’s services include removing accumulated waste and ensuring proper disposal, thereby ensuring their business clients avoid non-compliance issues.

The business dream was born when Ofentse visited the landfill site in Mogwase and realised the invincible economy of recycling and disposing of waste. He vowed that one day he would become a meaningful player in the industry, and as a result, the company was registered in 2020.

In 2022, an opportunity arose to bid for subcontracting work under a landfill waste management company. For Ofentse, this presented a great opportunity to contribute to the environment and make an impact on the lives of the less fortunate who depend on this trade. He never looked back, and today Ofentse is mostly involved with the company’s everyday management and new business development.

Serious Buyers specialises in a wide range of waste management services, including residential waste collection and transportation, custom waste management plans for private companies, recycling, cleaning of illegally dumped refuse, litter picking, and organising cleanup campaigns.

Their services consist of two main components – corporate waste management and recycling.

They offer corporations the service of ensuring their waste is disposed of correctly according to prescribed regulations. For each load disposed of, they provide a landfill disposal receipt to support their clients’ waste audit and documentation requirements.

In addition, Serious Buyers also offers recycling services. Approximately 70% of domestic waste is recyclable, presenting a substantial cost-saving for clients. Whether a client is a retailer, landlord, manufacturer, or industrial company, Serious Buyers works closely with them to develop a customised recycling solution. For instance, their team will identify markets for clients’ recyclable materials, providing them with efficient, cost-effective waste management strategies.

They recycle up to six categories of recyclable materials, as shown in the image gallery below.

The company currently employs eight people, including the owner, and is responsible for the livelihood of 56 waste reclaimers who work full-time at the Mogwase landfill site.

Ofentse’s future plan is to become a significant player in the local waste management and recycling industry, assisting local businesses and institutions in complying, as many are not conscious of the impact of their waste.
