General Waste Tips

 For Commercial Businesses (Shops, Offices, Factories)Tip
Why It Matters
**1. Choose front-lift bin (660L–4.5m³)
Weekly collection = predictable cost. Better than skip for cardboard, packaging, general waste.
**2. Ask for “recycling split”
Separate cardboard/paper = free or $50/collection. Mixed = $200+.
**3. Lock in fixed-rate contract (6–12 months)
Avoid fuel/landfill surcharges. Get price lock + free bin upgrade.
**4. Check collection day flexibility
Need after-hours or weekend? Some charge +$50. Negotiate in contract.
**5. Ask for “bin monitoring” app
Some companies give fill-level sensors → only collect when full → save 20–30%.
**6. Confirm “duty of care” waste transfer note
Legal requirement. Proves waste disposed correctly.

Pro Tip: Use compactor bins for high-volume cardboard → 75% space saving.
