How is Bundle Waste different from going direct to a waste provider?

Compare the actual broker proposal with a direct provider quote.

Compare the actual broker proposal with a direct provider quote. The useful distinction is who requests quotes and manages agreed tasks, not an assumption that one route is always cheaper or more independent.

Information to gather

  • Use identical bins, frequencies, accepted materials and contract lengths.
  • Ask which providers were considered and how broker payment works.
  • Compare escalation support, reporting, cancellation and the total price.

What to check before deciding

An intermediary's scope and incentives should be clear in writing. Do not infer poor conduct from a provider quoting directly or claim a universal overpayment percentage without comparative evidence.

Only a court can finally determine whether a contract term is unfair. See ACCC - Contracts.
