⚠️ Common mistakes
- •Locking into 36-month contracts — ACCC has flagged subscription traps as a 2026-27 enforcement priority
- •Choosing a rear-lift service when front-lift access is available — front-lift is 30-40% cheaper on volume
- •Not right-sizing pickup frequency — paying for weekly lifts on a bin that's half full wastes money; match frequency to actual fill level
Commercial Waste in Central — FAQs
What size commercial bin do I need?
Cafes and small retail typically run 660L bins on weekly pickup. Restaurants and supermarkets need 1.5-3m³ on twice-weekly. Construction sites use 10-30m³ hooklift bins.
Can I cancel mid-contract?
Read the early-termination clause carefully. AU consumer law makes unfair contract terms unenforceable for small business customers. If a clause looks one-sided, raise it with the operator before signing.
How is commercial waste priced?
Typically a per-bin lift fee plus a rental charge, scaling with bin size, pickup frequency and waste class. General waste is cheapest; recycling, organics and regulated waste are priced separately.
Do I need separate bins for recycling?
Most SEQ businesses run at least general waste plus commingled recycling, and food businesses often add organics. Separating streams usually lowers total disposal cost because recycling avoids the general-waste levy.
