Commercial Waste Costs Across Australia

Published price points, state levies and indicative monthly bands for business bins in every capital, with the method shown. The national counterpart to our Melbourne cost index.

Every incumbent hides the price behind a quote form. These guides put the published rates on the page, show which landfill levy sits under each city's prices, and give an indicative monthly band per bin size with the method stated. Use the bill benchmark tool to see where your current invoice sits.

Frequently asked questions

Why do commercial waste prices differ so much between cities?+
Three things move the price: the state landfill levy that sits under every general-waste lift, route density in your suburb, and whether the council offers a commercial service at all. Each city guide separates these so you can see what is negotiable.
Are the figures on these pages quotes?+
No. They are published price points from providers and councils, cited with the date we accessed them, plus an indicative band whose method is stated. Your negotiated rate depends on volume, frequency, access and contract length.
Does Bundle Waste operate outside Melbourne?+
We are based in Melbourne and work with businesses Australia-wide. We do not run trucks; we negotiate with the providers that service your city and manage the switch.
How do I check whether my current bill is high?+
Enter your bin size, frequency, city and monthly charge into the bill benchmark tool. It shows where you sit against the published range and estimates the annual difference. Sending us the invoice gets you a free line-by-line audit.
What is the difference between trade waste and commercial waste?+
Trade waste is liquid waste discharged to the sewer under a water utility agreement. Commercial waste is the solid waste collected in bins. The two are billed by different organisations, which is why searches for one often surface the other.
