General Waste
Management

Front-lift, rear-lift, skip bins and compactors — the category where most overspending hides and where we find the biggest savings.

General Waste

Where most businesses
overpay without knowing it

General waste is the single largest line item on most businesses' waste invoices — and it's where providers make their highest margins. Between front-lift bins, rear-lift services, skip bins, and compactors, the pricing structures are deliberately complex.

Bundle Waste changes that. As an independent partner with visibility across 50+ waste providers in Melbourne and Australia, we know exactly what general waste services cost at scale. We audit your current arrangements, compare them against real market rates, and negotiate dramatically lower pricing.

Common Questions

Frequently asked
questions

How much can I save on general waste in Melbourne?+
Most Melbourne businesses overpay by 20-35% on general waste. A standard 1,100L front-lift bin collected twice weekly costs $80–$120/month at market rate, but many businesses pay $350–$450. We audit your invoices and negotiate with 50+ providers to bring costs in line with true market rates — typically delivering 15–30% savings.
Do I need to change my waste provider?+
Not necessarily. In about 60% of cases, we negotiate better rates with your existing provider first. If they cannot match market rates, we find a provider that can and handle the entire transition so there is no disruption to your operations. The average changeover takes 5-7 business days.
What types of general waste bins do you cover?+
We negotiate rates across all general waste bin types: 240L and 660L rear-lift bins, 1,100L and 3,000L front-lift bins, 2-30 cubic metre skip bins, and stationary or portable compactors. Whether you have a single bin or a fleet across multiple sites, we secure the best available rates.
Is there any cost for a waste audit?+
No. Our waste audit is completely free with no obligation. We review your invoices, contracts, and collection schedules to identify where you are overpaying. If we cannot save you money, you owe us nothing — zero upfront costs, no hidden fees.
How long does the audit process take?+
A typical general waste audit takes 3-5 business days from receiving your invoices. We analyse bin sizes, collection frequencies, fill rates, and contract terms against current market rates for your area. You will receive a detailed savings report showing exactly where costs can be reduced.
What is the Victorian landfill levy for general waste?+
The Victorian landfill levy for municipal solid waste is $25.84 per tonne as of 2025–26, increasing annually by CPI plus 10%. This levy is passed through on your invoice — we ensure it is calculated correctly and that you are not paying inflated levy charges, which is a common hidden cost.
Can you help reduce contamination in general waste bins?+
Yes. Contamination in general waste bins means recyclable materials going to landfill, which costs more due to levy charges. We help implement simple bin signage and staff training that typically reduces contamination by 15-25%, diverting recyclables to cheaper comingle streams and lowering your total waste spend.
