What exactly is a commercial wheelie bin collection?

In order for us to progress with the blog, we must first discuss the definition of a commercial wheelie bin (MGB) collection.

In layman’s terms, this means the physical picking up and transferring of accumulated waste produced by a business. It is taken to an appropriate place where it can be treated; for example, general waste bin deemed useless tend to go to landfills, incineration plants, or waste-to-energy (WtE) plants. Furthermore, the recyclables then go to the recycling facilities.

In particular, Waster offers its waste management and recycling services to businesses in need all across Australia.

 

Types of bins Waster offers

Before you purchase a bin/bins, you must first confirm what type of waste you usually generate in large amounts. Here, we will enumerate and elaborate with you all of Waster’s offered commercial waste bins:

With this, you not only reduce your costs but you also help sustain the environment, as well as cleaning up your work premises.

Depending on your waste generated, you can avail of Waster’s 240-litre, 660-litre and 1,100-litre rear lift commercial wheelie bin (MGB) collection services (recommended for smaller businesses that produce a fair amount of cardboard and paper waster).

As for bigger businesses, they can purchase Waster’s front lift bins, ranging from 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 cubic metres.

Waster offers two standard commercial confidential paper wheelie bin collection sizes, along with quality service:

  • 240-litre confidential paper bin
  • one-off service (120-litre) or the standard 240-litre

Anything that is considered non-recyclable and hazardous can often be put in the general waste bin. Along with the commingled recycling bin service, businesses also need this waste management service to dispose of their trash properly.

Like in Waster’s other services, the bins come in different sizes (depending on how big the business is).

For the smaller, rear lift bins:

  • 240-litre general waste bin service
  • 660-litre general waste bin service
  • 1,100-litre general waste bin service

Restaurants must be careful and check their equipment and ensure that they maintain cleanliness and hygiene in their workplace. The grease trap, especially, can get dirty when neglected. But, some businesses simply do not have the means and time to clean their grease trap, which can lead to problems arising if left uncleaned.

So, what businesses can do is avail of a grease trap cleaning service. And, Waster offers that as well! And, to summarise, our grease trap cleaning serviceΒ is especially helpful to restaurants.

Medical service

As they always say, “Health is wealth”. But, along with the healthcare facilities that treat the sick and injured, also comes the waste generated.

Furthermore, hospitals, laboratories, and other healthcare facilities produce contaminated, biomedical waste, as well as harmful chemicals that can compromise the health and safety of humans, plants, animals, and the environment as a whole.

As a result, proper waste management is especially required in the healthcare sector due to the reasons stated above. Waster also offers commercial medical wheelie bin collection services for health businesses that need proper waste management in their facilities.

Waster offers the bin service in two standard sizes:

  • 120-litre medical bin service
  • 240-litre medical bin service

 

Organic waste service

Basing on what I have stated above in the grease trap liquid service, food and drinks businesses will also be full of food waste.

Some businesses resort to putting food waste in the general waste bin, which Waster does not recommend. This is because general waste bins are charged based on the weight of the bin upon the pickup schedule. So, if your bin is heavy, you will be charged more.

The best thing to do here is to purchase an organic waste wheelie bin collection (MGB) service to “recycle” your food waste. In other words, your food waste will be turned into compost or energy to prevent it from going into a landfill.

Waster offers one standard bin size service for organic waste: a 120-litre organic waste bin service.

The importance of a wheelie bin collection service

Aside from it ensuring your business’s cleanliness, it also provides other useful benefits. As stated, having effective and efficient commercial bins on wheels can lower your overall costs. Waster’s very best advice to all businesses that want to cut their costs is to recycle!

You should remember that the heavier your general waste bin (i.e., the more rubbish it contains), the more you will be charged.

Additionally, with all of the waste levies occurring in Australia, waste management companies resort to increasing their general waste collection prices as to not experience revenue loss. So, recycling is the way to go as it helps both the business and waste management provider.

By buying a recycling bin based on your frequently generated waste, you will divert recyclables from your general waste bin, therefore reducing your costs!

Recycling also improves your brand. People generally want to purchase services from a company they deem environmentally responsible. So, by recycling, you also show that you care about the environment and the well-being of others.

In saying this, remember to also purchase recycling services aside from your commercial rubbish bin collection services.

Difference between commercial and household wheelie bin collection

 

The main difference between a household and a commercial is the amount of trash they generate. According to cheaperwaste, household waste is separated into 3 or 4 coloured bins. This is to accommodate the common waste found inside a typical house: general, food, and paper and cardboard waste.

The bins are filled and taken away weekly at a kerbside for easier access.

As for the commercial ones, it is not the same. First, their respective local council does not collect the bins for them. Instead, businesses need to avail of a commercial wheelie bin collection service from a private waste management company.

 

Short waste management practice advice

Waster likes advising its customers in regards to the best waste management practices they can do. In this list, we include the 3 best and easy tips for businesses to remember:

  1. Do a waste audit.
  2. Practice the 3 Rs.
  3. Learn to properly check trash beforeΒ 

 

How can I quickly check commercial wheelie bin collection costs for my business?

Many commercial wheelie bin collection companies will promise large price reductions to move to them but may not keep that pricing in place for very long at all. This is, of course, is a bit like the old bait and switch strategy; it is where you are brought in with an artificially low headline rate for commercial bin collection prices, but will quickly end up paying much more.

When you start speaking to a waste company – it is also common for them to not be very clear about the commercial bin collection prices they will quote you until they have “visited your location, checked out your needs” etc. This practice makes it more difficult for you to shop around for lower prices or get a real comparable rate from a competitor to indicate if you are receiving competitive pricing from your current supplier or not.
