Simple, kitchen-friendly guide to getting your restaurant bins and grease trap sorted without overpaying. Covers bin sizes, pickup schedules, trade-waste rules, and how to keep inspectors happy in NSW, VIC, and QLD.
Running a kitchen is hard enough without chasing bin issues or grease trap warnings. This guide keeps it practical: which bins to use, how often to collect, and what councils expect.
Rule of thumb: If bins are consistently over 70% full, increase size or frequency. Over-servicing? Drop a pickup and monitor for two weeks.
We can set up restaurant bins and grease trap cleaning on one schedule, with the right bin mix for your kitchen. Book a quick setup call or head to our grease trap service page to get pricing for your suburb.
