Like many other councils throughout Sydney and Australia-wide, councils are reducing their commercial waste services or ceasing them altogether. This generally means businesses are required to arrange private waste collection services with a commercial waste company such as Waster!

Obviously, this will be annoying for you as you will need to shop around and compare various waste service options or recycling instead of the easy North Sydney council pick-up.

In many cases, North Sydney council waste collection does seem to be the easiest and most straightforward option for a local business. But below, we will cover how you can get better services and better pricing for North Sydney rubbish collection for your business through Waster.

 

What geographic areas does the North Sydney Waste Pickup cover?

This change in commercial waste services in North Sydney will apply to all businesses in the North Sydney council area on the Lower North Shore of Sydney. The North Sydney council area covers approximately 10.9km2 and includes suburbs such as Cammeray, Cremorne, Cremorne Point, Crows Nest, Kirribilli, Kurraba Point, Lavender Bay, McMahons Point, Milsons Point, Neutral Bay, North Sydney, St Leonards, Waverton, Wollstonecraft.

Mosman, Lane Cove, Willoughby, the Harbour, and the Northern Beaches border this large area with a wide variety of businesses, ranging from food service to offices.

It includes the NSW postcode areas of 2060, 2061, 2065, 2062, 2089, 2090,

 

What did the notification from the council say regarding North Sydney waste disposal?

All references to commercial waste services in North Sydney have been removed from the website.

It is noted that:

“Trade Waste”

“Businesses are advised that they should contact a commercial waste contractor regarding any trade waste or recycling for their premises.”

 

Are commercial North Sydney bin service costs more expensive that those from the council?

It is common for people to think that North Sydney council waste collection will be cheaper than commercial services. However, you will be pleasantly surprised that in many cases, Waster can provide rubbish removal North Sydney and North Sydney recycling bin services – cheaper than you previously paid!

The current rate card for existing customers of North Sydney waste collection services is as below:

$17.00 per collection of a 120-litre or 240-litre bin size – for either general waste or for recycling.

NOTE: Prices are subject to change.

Whilst this rate was low for general waste, Waster commercial waste services are certainly competitive and are significantly cheaper for recycling bin options such as cardboard services or commingled recycling.

Note: Waster also provides the bin and maintains it, whereas, under the North Sydney council waste service, customers had to buy their own bin.

 

How do Waster’s prices for the North Sydney bin collection compare?

For an office business based in North Sydney council pick-up areas – such as Cammeray or St Leonards – Waster would charge the fees as per below for a weekly collection – i.e. monthly:

240-litre general waste bin weekly: – $19.00+GST – slightly more expensive

As for 240-litre cardboard bin weekly: – $9.00+GST – cheaper than North Sydney council

240-litre commingled bin weekly: – $15.00+GST – cheaper than North Sydney council

Waster also offers larger bin sizes such as 660 litre or 1100 litre bins which could save you more money.

North Sydney Waste Collection: rubbish to be turned into fertilizer

As per the Manly Daily, the local council has agreed to a 10-year contract whereby waste will be transported to Eastern Creek as part of a waste to landfill reduction strategy.

This will also serve to extend the expected life of the Kimbriki landfill site by up to 20 years.

The project relies on multinational company SUEZ, which can already convert putrescible waste to fertilizer. Putrescible waste is everything other than vegetation, paper, cardboard and plastics.

This initiative is expected to have considerable financial and environmental benefits for local residents: estimated cost savings of up to $100 per household per annum and an increase in resource recovery rates from the current 47% to 71%.

The ABC TV expose of the waste industry on the Four Corners show impacted the waste management sector in Sydney and New South Wales.

This program highlighted practices such as transporting waste via train to Queensland from Sydney and also the mistreatment of collected recyclable commodities such as glass.

It is good to see with this latest initiative, that waste to landfill will be decreasing in the Northern Beaches.
