Tips for Reducing Waste Costs
- Separate recyclables — cardboard and paper recycling is often cheaper than general waste. Ask about adding a recycling bin.
- Right-size your bins — paying for a half-empty 1100L bin every week costs more than a full 660L. Use this calculator to find the sweet spot.
- Consider frequency — fortnightly collection halves your cost if your waste volume allows it.
- Break down cardboard — flat cardboard takes up 80% less space than unbroken boxes.
