Bundle Waste
Compare the clauses behind a price label. Ask which charges stay fixed, which can change, and what notice and exit arrangements apply.
The facts behind the comparison
The ACCC explains unfair contract term protections and how businesses can raise concerns. Only a court can determine whether a particular contract term is unfair. Source: ACCC — Contracts.
What to compare
| Decision | Fixed-price proposal | Variable-price proposal |
|---|---|---|
| Included service | List the bins, lifts, weight allowance and period covered. | List the same scope and any minimum commitments. |
| Exclusions | Identify charges outside the fixed amount. | Identify every variable rate and its unit. |
| Price review | Ask about indexation, levies and other adjustment clauses. | Ask who sets the rate and when changes take effect. |
| Scenario comparison | Calculate normal, busy and contaminated-load scenarios. | Use the same quantities and assumptions. |
Before you decide
- Request the full terms with the quote, not just the front-page price.
- Build a comparison period with identical collection and waste assumptions.
- Record applicable notice, renewal and termination provisions.
- Get ambiguous charges explained in writing before accepting.
What this comparison cannot tell you
“Fixed” is not a promise that every invoice will be identical. “Variable” does not establish poor value. This page does not interpret your contract or claim that a specific clause is unenforceable.
