For urgent issues (overflowing bins, missed critical collections, illegal dumping on your property), we respond within 2 hours during business hours and arrange emergency collection within 24 hours.
Our provider relationships mean we can call in same-day service when needed — something most businesses cannot arrange on their own. Standard service issues (bin repairs, schedule changes) are resolved within 2-3 business days.
Key Numbers
- Initial response (business hours): within 2 hours
- Emergency collection arranged: within 24 hours
- Standard service issues resolved: 2-3 business days
- Max GED corporate fine: about $2.03 million
What You Need to Know
A waste emergency is not just a nuisance — an overflowing bin or illegal dumping on your property can become a compliance breach, and a serious one carries a maximum corporate fine of about $2.03 million. That is why speed is built into the service rather than left to chance.
- Within 2 hours — initial response to urgent issues during business hours.
- Within 24 hours — emergency collection arranged through provider relationships.
- Same-day service — called in when needed, something most businesses cannot arrange alone.
- 2-3 business days — standard fixes like bin repairs and schedule changes.
Acting fast on illegal dumping or overflow is also how you meet the General Environmental Duty to minimise risk so far as reasonably practicable. As an independent broker, Bundle Waste compares a network of providers, runs a free invoice audit, and is 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.
How long does it take to switch waste providers through Bundle Waste?+
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.
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.

Bundle Waste reviews your current waste invoices and benchmarks them against a network of Melbourne providers — free, with a written report in 5 business days. You will see what you pay now, where the hidden charges are, and the rate we can negotiate. You only pay from the savings we find: no savings, no fee.
