How Canberra apartment complexes, strata buildings, and body corporates can set up cost-effective commercial waste collection across the ACT.
Managing waste in a multi-unit building is one of the most common headaches for Canberra strata managers and body corporates. Overflowing bins, missed collections, and rising costs are constant complaints at AGMs. Getting the right commercial waste setup solves all three.
ACT strata complexes with more than a handful of units typically exceed what residential council collection can handle. Body corporates are responsible for arranging private waste collection for common areas and shared bin rooms.
The key challenges:
| Building Size | Recommended Bin | Weekly Price (exc GST) |
|---|---|---|
| 6-15 units | 1 x 660L general + 1 x 240L recycling | From $92 |
| 16-30 units | 2 x 1100L general + 1 x 660L recycling | From $171 |
| 30+ units | Multiple 1100L bins, custom schedule | Contact us |
Most Canberra apartment buildings in the 20-30 unit range need at least two 1100L general waste bins collected weekly, plus recycling.
