Ballarat's industrial areas from Delacombe to Wendouree need commercial waste collection that handles heavy volumes. Guide to bin sizes and collection for industrial sites.
Ballarat's industrial zones — Delacombe, Wendouree, Mitchell Park, and the technology precinct near the university — house a growing number of manufacturers, warehouses, and trade businesses. These sites generate waste that is different from retail or hospitality: heavier, bulkier, and often mixed with recyclable materials.
The biggest savings for industrial businesses come from separating cardboard from general waste. Cardboard collection is cheaper than general waste ($22.09/lift exc GST for any size bin) because cardboard has recycling value.
If your business currently puts cardboard in with general waste, adding a separate cardboard bin almost always reduces your total waste cost — even though you are paying for an extra bin.
| Bin Size | General Waste (exc GST) | Cardboard (exc GST) |
|---|---|---|
| 240L | $39 | $22.09 |
| 660L | $53 | $22.09 |
| 1100L | $59 | $22.09 |
