What You Need to Know
Compliance failures are expensive in Victoria: the 2025-26 penalty unit sits at $203.51, and a serious breach can reach a maximum corporate fine of about $2.03 million. Good waste reporting is the cheapest insurance against that exposure, and we build it into the standard service at no extra cost.
- EPA Victoria compliance checks — confirming each waste stream is correctly managed.
- Prescribed industrial waste — tracking documentation for cradle-to-grave records.
- Monthly diversion reports — recycling rates against landfill volumes.
- Carbon & certification data — supplied in ISO 14001 and B-Corp formats.
All of this maps directly to the General Environmental Duty, which requires you to minimise waste-handling risk so far as reasonably practicable. As an independent broker, Bundle Waste runs a free invoice audit, compares a network of providers, and is paid only from the savings we find.

Can Bundle Waste help with EPA compliance?+
We ensure: all providers hold current EPA permissions, waste goes to licensed facilities, PIW tracking is set up, and documentation supports compliance. For complex needs, we refer to specialist environmental consultants.
How do I check if my waste provider is EPA-licensed?+
Check EPA Victoria's public register at epa.vic.gov.au or request their EPA permission number. PIW transporters must hold permissions. Standard commercial collectors do not need licences but must deliver to licensed facilities. Bundle Waste verifies all providers.
What are the main waste management laws in Victoria?+
Key legislation: Environment Protection Act 2017, Environment Protection Regulations 2021, Climate Change Act 2017, Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021. The EP Act 2017 introduced a general environmental duty (GED) requiring all businesses to minimise risks of harm from pollution and waste.
What is the General Environmental Duty in Victoria?+
The GED under Section 25 of the EP Act 2017 requires businesses to take reasonably practicable steps to minimise risks of harm to human health and the environment from pollution and waste. This is proactive — you must manage risks before harm occurs. Penalties reach about $2.03 million for corporations.
Do I need an EPA licence for waste management in Victoria?+
You need an EPA licence if you operate a scheduled premises (landfill, transfer station, waste treatment facility) or transport prescribed industrial waste. General businesses generating standard commercial waste do not need a licence but must use licensed transporters and disposal facilities.
