General waste

Reliable scheduled collection of everyday non-recyclable waste, so your site stays clean and your costs stay predictable. We size the service to your space, access and how fast your bins fill.

What goes in

What belongs in your general waste bin.

Keeping streams clean is what makes your diversion rate real — here's the simple rule for this one.

✓ Goes in

  • Everyday general rubbish
  • Soft or food-soiled packaging
  • Non-recyclable plastics
  • Broken items not covered by another stream

✕ Stays out

  • Clean cardboard → Cardboard & paper
  • Clean recyclables → Mixed recycling
  • Electronics → E-waste
  • Hazardous, liquids, hardfill or garden waste (we don't take these)
Bins & collection

General waste bins, sized to your site.

240L, 660L and 1100L wheelie bins, plus front-load options for higher volume. Scheduled weekly or fortnightly, or on-call — and we'll right-size as your volumes change.

FAQ

General waste — your questions

Tell us — we'll either lift more often or move you to a larger bin. Right-sizing is part of the monthly review, so you're not paying for air or for overflow.

Yes. As your volumes change we'll adjust bin sizes and frequency to keep you on the most cost-effective setup.

Putting recyclables or food waste in the wrong bin can downgrade a whole load. We flag contamination in your report and provide simple signage to keep it low.
