Adelaide warehouses and industrial sites need high-capacity bins and reliable collection. Here is how to set up waste management for factories, distribution centres, and workshops.
Adelaide's industrial belt — from Regency Park and Wingfield through to Edinburgh Parks and Lonsdale — generates serious waste volumes. Warehouses, factories, distribution centres, and workshops all need bins that match their output and collection schedules that prevent overflow.
Getting this wrong means overflowing bins blocking loading docks, safety hazards, EPA attention, and wasted money. Here is how to get it right.
Small warehouse / workshop (under 500 sqm):
Medium warehouse / distribution centre (500–2000 sqm):
Large factory / manufacturing (2000+ sqm):
| Bin Size | Price per lift (exc GST) | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 660L | $53 | Small workshops, offices attached to warehouses |
| 1100L | $59 | Standard for most warehouses and factories |
| Cardboard/paper (any size) | $22.09 | Dedicated recycling — flat rate |
Regency Park / Wingfield / Kilburn: Adelaide's densest industrial area. Wide streets and good truck access. Most sites have purpose-built bin bays. 1100L is standard. If you are in a shared industrial complex, coordinate with your neighbours — shared bins can reduce per-business costs.
Edinburgh Parks / Salisbury South: Newer industrial estates with excellent access. Large logistics operations here (Toll, Linfox sites nearby). Distribution centres typically need 1100L general waste plus 1100L cardboard, both collected twice weekly minimum.
Lonsdale / Hackham: Southern Adelaide industrial zone. Mix of manufacturing, automotive, and building trades. Smaller lots may only have space for 660L. We check site access before delivery to ensure collection trucks can reach your bin bay.
Gepps Cross / Dry Creek: Food distribution hub. High waste volumes from food packaging and spoiled product. Twice-weekly 1100L collection is typical. Some sites also need organics bins for food waste disposal.
Port Adelaide / Osborne: Maritime and heavy industrial. Some sites have restricted access or security gates — we coordinate collection times with your site manager.
Tonsley Innovation District: Mix of tech, research, and light manufacturing in the former Mitsubishi site. Modern bin bays. Most tenants need 240L–660L depending on activity.
Industrial sites, especially distribution centres, generate enormous cardboard volumes. A warehouse unpacking pallets of product daily can fill a 1100L bin with cardboard alone in 2–3 days.
Our dedicated cardboard recycling collection is $22.09 exc GST per lift regardless of bin size. That is significantly cheaper than general waste collection. Separating cardboard into its own bin means:
