Bundle Waste
Use your own trading calendar and collection records to plan seasonal changes. Peak demand, shutdowns and staffing patterns differ by business, so generic Melbourne percentage increases are not a reliable bin-sizing tool.
Information to gather
- Compare bin weights or fill observations with sales, deliveries and opening days.
- Mark known events, stock deliveries and closure periods on the collection calendar.
- Get temporary frequency changes, notice requirements and extra-lift prices in writing.
What to check before deciding
Review the first busy period after a schedule change and keep a contingency for overflow. Compare the whole seasonal cost, including retained bin rental and any minimum service charges.
Workplace waste reduction can be supported through a waste management plan and staff participation. See Business Victoria - How to minimise waste in your business.
