Frequently Asked Questions

How much does waste management cost for a car dealership in Melbourne North?
Waste management for a Melbourne North car dealership typically costs $800-3,500 per month depending on whether the site includes a service workshop. Showroom-only sites pay $300-600/month for general waste and recycling. Full-service dealerships pay more: general waste ($200-500/month), cardboard/recycling ($100-250/month), used oil collection ($100-300/month or credit), tyre disposal ($5-12 per tyre), hazardous waste removal ($200-600/quarter), and wash bay trade waste ($50-150/month).
How should dealerships dispose of used oil in Victoria?
Used oil is classified as prescribed industrial waste (PIW) in Victoria and must be collected by an EPA-licensed transporter. Dealerships must store used oil in sealed, bunded containers away from drains. Transport certificates must be kept for three years. The good news: used oil has recyclable value, so many collectors offer free pickup or even pay a small rebate for large volumes (500+ litres). Never mix used oil with other waste streams — contaminated oil loses its rebate value and incurs hazardous waste disposal fees.
What are the tyre disposal rules for dealerships in Victoria?
Under Victoria's Environment Protection Regulations 2021, dealerships must not stockpile more than 5,000 tyres and must use licensed tyre recyclers. Disposal costs $5-12 per passenger tyre and $15-40 for truck tyres. The Tyre Stewardship Australia scheme provides accredited recyclers. Illegal dumping fines start at $9,000. Dealerships with high tyre volumes should negotiate volume rates with recyclers — a waste broker can often secure rates up to 30% below standard pricing through consolidated contracts.
How much do skip bins cost in Melbourne's northern suburbs?
Skip bins in Melbourne's north (Broadmeadows, Epping, Craigieburn) cost $220–400 for 4m³, $320–550 for 6m³, and $450–800 for 10m³. Prices are 5–10% below CBD rates. Industrial areas like Campbellfield and Somerton have competitive pricing due to proximity to transfer stations.
What waste management does a Melbourne airport business need?
Airport precinct businesses must comply with Melbourne Airport's waste management requirements in addition to standard regulations. Airport waste contracts are typically managed through the airport operator. Security-cleared waste operators may be required for airside operations. Costs are 10–20% higher than comparable off-airport businesses due to security and access requirements.
