Couldn't we just use the Council bins?
Each council has different rules and regulations when it comes to general waste produced by businesses. Unlike most councils, Australian Waste Management can offer additional bins, a larger range of bin sizes, more frequent collections and overall better value, not to mention a single provider for all your waste and recycling requirements and a single bill option.
What size of bin and/or frequency should I choose?
Based on our experience and an industry survey1 of 50,000 businesses, we can provide the below guide.
