Waste Management FAQ
Everything you need to know about our waste management service in Melbourne. Can't find your answer? Call us directly.
Can you help reduce our waste management costs?
Yes. By improving recycling rates and reducing contamination, we typically help body corporates save 15-25% on waste collection fees. We achieve this through better sorting, appropriate bin sizing, and negotiation support with waste contractors.
How do you handle hard rubbish and bulk waste?
We coordinate regular hard rubbish collection days, arrange council pickups, and can organise private collection for items outside council scope. We also handle dumped items in common areas promptly.
What about organic waste and food scraps?
We can set up and manage FOGO (Food Organics Garden Organics) programs where council services are available. This diverts significant waste from landfill and can reduce general waste bin requirements.
How often should bin rooms be cleaned?
We recommend weekly cleaning for most buildings, with additional spot cleans after heavy periods. High-rise buildings with large populations may benefit from twice-weekly bin room cleaning.
Can you handle hazardous waste like paint or chemicals?
We coordinate disposal of hazardous materials through licensed waste handlers. Common items include paint, batteries, e-waste, and fluorescent tubes. We set up collection points and arrange periodic pickups.
Do you provide waste signage for residents?
Yes - clear, visual signage in multiple languages if needed. We design custom signs for your specific waste streams and update them when council requirements change. Good signage is one of the most effective ways to reduce contamination.
