Bundle WasteIf you are considering an alternative to Cleanaway, compare staying, renegotiating and changing providers on the same service basis. A different supplier is not automatically cheaper or better suited to your site.
This is a Bundle Waste editorial guide. Bundle Waste is a waste broker and has a commercial interest in this comparison. It does not imply endorsement by Cleanaway, and we do not attribute an unsourced market price or saving to the company.

Questions for your account
Request written confirmation of any break fee, equipment collection fee and outstanding charges before comparing the cost of leaving.
- What service, containers and collection schedule are included?

Compare the full proposal
| Option | Evidence to obtain | Decision to make |
|---|---|---|
| Keep the current service | Current invoice, schedule and terms | Does it meet your requirements at the total cost shown? |
| Request a revised proposal | Written scope, fees and effective date | Are the proposed changes useful and clearly priced? |
| Consider another provider | Like-for-like quote and transition arrangements | Do the service and total cost justify changing? |
Match each invoice item to your Agreement Specifics and the relevant fee condition. Ask how the fuel surcharge and any excess-weight fee were calculated.
Compare annual totals with your own figures. Include any known transition costs separately and do not count collections twice when they are included in a fixed fee.
Before changing a service
Ask for written confirmation of the final collection, equipment removal, new container delivery and first collection. Keep the current service in place until the agreed arrangements are clear. Seek qualified advice if you dispute a contractual charge; this guide does not decide whether a particular term is enforceable.
