Typical timeline: Week 1 — free audit and invoice review.
Week 2 — competitive tender to a network of providers. Week 3 — evaluate quotes, negotiate final terms.
Week 4 — contract signing, bin delivery, old bins collected. Total: 2-4 weeks from first contact to first collection.
If your existing contract has a notice period (usually 30-90 days), we start the process early so your new service begins the day your old contract ends, with zero service gaps.
Key Numbers
- Full switch timeline: 2–4 weeks
- Typical contract notice period: 30–90 days
- Service gap on changeover: Zero
- Typical saving on waste costs: up to 30%
What You Need to Know
Switching is faster than most operators fear — 2–4 weeks from first contact to first collection — but the part that protects you is timing the changeover against your existing notice period so there is never a day without a bin.
| Week | What happens |
|---|
| Week 1 | Free audit and invoice review |
| Week 2 | Competitive tender to a network of providers |
| Week 3 | Evaluate quotes, negotiate final terms |
| Week 4 | Contract signing, bin delivery, old bins collected |
Where a contract carries a 30–90 day notice period, we start early so the new service begins the day the old one ends — with zero service gaps and no break in your duty to manage waste safely under the General Environmental Duty (GED). Bundle Waste is an independent broker: we audit your invoice for free, compare a network of providers, and are paid only from the savings we find.

What is a waste broker and how do they save money?+
A waste broker is an independent specialist who compares quotes from a network of waste providers to find the best rates for your business. Unlike providers, brokers work for you — not for the waste company. Bundle Waste typically saves clients up to 30% on waste costs through competitive tendering, contract negotiation, and ongoing rate monitoring. There is no upfront cost — we earn a commission from the provider, which is built into their standard margin (you pay the same or less than going direct).
How does a Bundle Waste audit work?+
Our free waste audit takes 2-4 hours on-site and covers: (1) Bin inventory — sizes, quantities, streams, and condition, (2) Fill level assessment — are bins right-sized or over/under-utilised, (3) Contamination check — what is going in the wrong bins, (4) Collection frequency analysis — matching schedule to actual waste generation, (5) Invoice review — checking for billing errors, hidden fees, and overcharges. You receive a written report within 5 business days with specific savings recommendations averaging $200-800/month.
What savings can I expect from using Bundle Waste?+
Our clients can save up to 30% on waste costs, depending on current contract rates and waste volumes. Savings come from competitive tendering, right-sizing bins, optimising collection frequency, and eliminating hidden fees. For a business spending $500/month on waste, that is up to 30% off the bill; for businesses spending $2,000+/month, the annual saving can run into several thousand dollars. Because Bundle Waste is paid only from the savings we find, there is no cost if we cannot beat your current rates.
Does Bundle Waste manage multi-site waste contracts?+
Yes. Multi-site management is one of our core strengths. We consolidate waste services across all your locations into a single contract with one invoice, one point of contact, and consistent service levels. Businesses with 3+ sites typically save up to 20% more through volume bundling. We manage clients with 2-50+ sites across Melbourne, regional Victoria, and interstate. Each site gets customised bin sizes and schedules while you get one monthly report.
How does Bundle Waste get paid?+
Bundle Waste earns a commission from the waste provider — typically 5-10% of the contract value, which comes from the provider's margin, not your pocket. You pay the same or less than going direct. We never charge clients consultation fees, audit fees, or management fees. Our incentive is aligned with yours: we only earn ongoing commission while you are a happy client, so we continuously monitor your rates and service quality to keep you saving.
