A waste broker manages your commercial waste contracts on your behalf — auditing your invoice, benchmarking every charge against the market, and renegotiating with providers so you pay less for the same bins and the same collection schedule. Bundle Waste is Melbourne's independent waste broker. We cut commercial waste bills by 15–30%, and if we can't save you money, you pay nothing.
What does a waste broker actually do?
The companies that empty your bins make money from your invoice — so they have no reason to lower it. Over time, rates creep up, "temporary" levies become permanent, and contracts auto-renew at the provider's discretion. A waste broker sits on your side of the table instead: independent of the haulers, paid only when you save, and focused on one job — getting your waste costs down and keeping them there.
How we cut your waste bill
1. Free invoice audit
Send us a recent waste invoice. We break down every line — bin rental, lift and collection fees, the fuel levy, the EPA and environmental levy, admin charges and contamination fees — and flag what you're overpaying for.
2. Market benchmark
We compare your rates against what 50+ Melbourne providers actually charge for your bin sizes, frequencies and waste streams. You get a clear savings figure before you commit to anything.
3. Renegotiate & manage
We renegotiate your existing contract (or re-tender it if that's cheaper) and manage the changeover end-to-end. In most cases nothing visibly changes — same bins, same trucks, same days — you just pay less, and we keep monitoring so the savings don't quietly erode.
What we negotiate down
| Invoice line | What we target |
|---|---|
| Collection / lift fees | Right-size frequency & bin volume to actual fill levels |
| Bin rental | Remove redundant bins; renegotiate rental rates |
| Fuel & environmental levies | Benchmark and cap pass-through charges |
| Admin & account fees | Strip out unjustified recurring charges |
| Contamination / overage fees | Fix bin setup & signage to stop the penalties |
| Contract terms | Remove rollover traps & uncapped rate-rise clauses |
No savings, no fee
There's no upfront cost and no obligation. If our audit doesn't find savings, you pay nothing. When we do save you money, our fee comes from a share of those verified savings — so working with Bundle Waste is always net-positive for your business.
Who we help
We work with Melbourne businesses of every size — from single-site cafes, retailers and clinics to multi-site warehouses, manufacturers and strata buildings. If you receive a commercial waste invoice, we can almost certainly find room in it. Explore our waste services, your local area, or read how to reduce commercial waste costs.
Waste broker vs going direct
Going direct to a hauler means negotiating against a sales team that does this every day — while you don't. Traditional waste consultants often work enterprise-only on fixed retainers. A waste broker like Bundle Waste is independent, works with SMEs, and is paid from the savings, so our incentive is identical to yours: a smaller bill.
