Citywide Alternative for Melbourne Businesses

Looking for an alternative to Citywide? Citywide is a Melbourne-based waste operator whose waste and recycling business was acquired by Cleanaway in July 2025. Like any hauler, it profits from your waste invoice — so it has little incentive to bring your costs down. Bundle Waste is an independent waste broker: we review and renegotiate your Citywide contract, or move you to a better-value provider, and we're paid only from the savings we find.

Why businesses look for a Citywide alternative

Businesses often look for a Citywide alternative when national-account rates stop being competitive for a single site, or when they want more local flexibility. The most common reasons are rates that have crept up over successive renewals, rigid contract terms, and the simple fact that a hauler makes money from your bill — so it has little incentive to lower it.

You don't always have to leave Citywide

Switching isn't the only option. As an independent broker, Bundle Waste can often renegotiate your existing Citywide contract for less — same bins, same trucks, lower price. We only recommend moving to another provider when the savings clearly justify it, and we manage the changeover end-to-end.
