Commercial Waste Collection Pricing
Transparent weekly rates for Australian businesses. Our pricing includes bin rental, scheduled collection, and waste disposal at licensed facilities. No lock-in contracts, no hidden fees.
How Our Pricing Works
Commercial waste collection pricing depends on three primary factors: the size of bin you need, how often it requires collection, and your location within Australia. Our quoted prices represent the starting rate per collection for each bin size in metropolitan areas. Monthly and annual costs are calculated based on your selected collection frequency.
Unlike residential council services, commercial waste collection is a business-to-business service where pricing reflects the actual cost of collection, transport, and disposal. This means businesses in areas further from waste processing facilities may see slightly higher rates, while those in central metropolitan areas typically receive the most competitive pricing.
All our pricing is fully inclusive. The weekly rate covers bin rental, scheduled collection on your chosen day, transport to a licensed waste facility, and proper disposal or recycling of materials. There are no additional fuel surcharges, environmental levies, or administration fees added to your invoice.

Wheelie Bin Pricing Explained
Wheelie bins are the most common choice for small to medium businesses, cafes, retail shops, and offices. These bins are collected using a standard rear-lift garbage truck, the same vehicles that service residential areas, which keeps collection costs lower than front-lift alternatives.
120 Litre Wheelie Bin - From $11 per week
The 120L bin suits small offices, boutique retail stores, and businesses with minimal waste output. Standing approximately 95cm tall with a 50cm width, this compact bin fits easily into tight spaces. At $11 per week, this represents approximately $48 per month or $572 annually for weekly collection service.
240 Litre Wheelie Bin - From $17 per week
The standard 240L wheelie bin is identical to residential bins and works well for cafes, small restaurants, and medium offices. This size handles approximately 3-4 standard garbage bags worth of waste. Weekly costs of $17 translate to roughly $74 monthly or $884 annually. This is our most popular wheelie bin size for small business applications.
660 Litre Wheelie Bin - From $43 per week
The 660L bin serves restaurants, larger retail operations, and small warehouses. This four-wheeled bin requires more space but holds nearly three times the capacity of a standard 240L bin. At $43 weekly, the per-litre cost is actually lower than smaller bins, making this size economical for businesses that regularly fill a standard bin before collection day.
1100 Litre Wheelie Bin - From $72 per week
The largest wheelie bin available, the 1100L suits shopping centres, large restaurants, and commercial buildings. This bin holds approximately 4.5 times the capacity of a standard 240L bin. Despite the higher weekly rate of $72, the cost efficiency improves significantly at this volume. Monthly costs sit around $312, with annual service totalling approximately $3,744.
Front Lift Bin Pricing Explained
Front lift bins are industrial-grade steel containers designed for high-volume waste generation. These require a specialised front-lift truck for collection, which contributes to higher service costs compared to wheelie bins. However, the significantly larger capacity makes front lift bins more cost-effective per cubic metre of waste disposed.
1.5 Cubic Metre Front Lift - From $90 per week
The 1.5m³ front lift bin is the entry point for industrial waste management. With capacity equivalent to approximately six standard 240L wheelie bins, this container suits manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, and construction sites with moderate waste volumes. Weekly collection at $90 works out to $390 monthly or $4,680 annually.
3.0 Cubic Metre Front Lift - From $155 per week
The 3.0m³ bin doubles the capacity of the 1.5m³ container while only increasing costs by approximately 70%. This makes the 3m³ front lift particularly cost-effective for high-volume waste generators. Weekly rates of $155 translate to roughly $672 monthly, representing excellent value for industrial operations, shopping centres, and large commercial complexes.
4.0 Cubic Metre Front Lift - From $200 per week
The largest front lift container we offer, the 4.0m³ bin serves major industrial sites, large manufacturing facilities, and commercial developments. At $200 weekly, this container offers the lowest per-cubic-metre disposal cost in our range. Monthly service costs approximately $867, with annual expenditure around $10,400 for weekly collection.
What Your Weekly Rate Includes
Every quoted price includes the complete waste management service from bin delivery through to disposal. When you sign up, we deliver and position your bin at your premises at no additional charge. Our trucks then collect on your scheduled day each week, transport waste to licensed processing facilities, and ensure proper disposal or recycling.
Bin maintenance is also included in your weekly rate. If a bin becomes damaged, worn, or simply needs cleaning, we replace or service it at no extra cost. This ensures your business always presents professionally without unexpected maintenance expenses.
Factors That Affect Your Final Price
Collection Frequency
Weekly collection is standard, but businesses generating less waste may save with fortnightly service. Higher-volume operations can arrange twice-weekly or daily collection at adjusted rates.
Location
Metropolitan areas typically receive the lowest rates due to efficient collection routes. Regional locations may incur modest premiums reflecting increased transport distances.
Waste Type
General waste, recycling, organic, and cardboard each have different processing costs. Recycling streams often cost less than general waste due to material recovery value.
Multiple Bins
Businesses requiring several bins or multiple waste streams receive bundled pricing. Multiple-bin arrangements typically reduce the per-bin rate compared to single-service pricing.

Choosing the Right Bin Size
Selecting the appropriate bin size directly impacts your waste management costs. A bin that's too small may require additional collections or overflow, while an oversized bin means paying for capacity you don't use.
As a general guide, a small office of 5-10 people typically generates enough waste for a 120L or 240L bin with weekly collection. A cafe or restaurant serving 50-100 customers daily usually requires a 660L or 1100L bin. Industrial operations, shopping centres, and large commercial buildings generally need front lift containers.
If you're unsure about the right size, start with a smaller bin. Our flexible service means you can easily upgrade to a larger container if needed, and we'll adjust your billing accordingly. It's better to discover you need more capacity than to pay for unused space from the outset.
Flexible Service Terms
We operate on 30-day rolling agreements rather than lengthy contracts. This means you're never locked into a long-term commitment that doesn't suit your business. If your circumstances change, you can adjust your service level or cancel with just 30 days notice.
Seasonal businesses particularly benefit from this flexibility. Hospitality venues can scale up service during busy periods and reduce it during quieter months. Construction projects can add temporary bins as needed and remove them when work completes.
Billing is straightforward: we invoice monthly in advance based on your selected service. There are no setup fees, no exit fees, and no penalties for service changes. The relationship is purely based on the value we deliver each collection day.
Common Pricing Questions
Are there any setup or delivery fees?
No. Bin delivery and installation are included in your weekly rate. We deliver your bin at no additional charge when you start service, and there's no fee to remove it if you cancel.
What if I need extra collections?
Additional collections can be arranged when needed at a per-collection rate. If you regularly need more frequent service, it's usually more economical to upgrade to a scheduled twice-weekly collection or larger bin size.
Do prices include GST?
Prices shown are exclusive of GST. Your invoice will show the service amount plus 10% GST, which most businesses can claim back as an input tax credit. GST-inclusive pricing is displayed during checkout.
Can I pause service temporarily?
Yes. Businesses closing for holidays or renovation can pause service with advance notice. We'll hold your bin and resume collection when you're ready, with billing adjusted accordingly.
