General waste wheelie bins in 240L, 660L and 1100L, collected weekly across Melbourne's CBD and suburbs. What each size suits, how inner-city access works, and how to get your exact price.
Melbourne businesses can book general waste wheelie bins in three sizes through Bin Hire Australia: 240L, 660L and 1100L, collected weekly. Booking is free. You enter your address and what your business does, see your exact per-collection price in about two minutes, and a vetted local provider delivers the bins, runs the collections, and invoices you directly. No markup is added on top of the provider's price.
This guide covers what each bin size suits, where coverage runs, and the access realities of running commercial bins in inner Melbourne.
| Bin | Holds roughly | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|
| 240L | 3-4 full garbage bags | Small office, boutique retail, salon, clinic |
| 660L | A week of waste for most food venues | Cafe, restaurant, busy shop, mid-size office |
| 1100L | High-volume sites | Supermarket, large venue, warehouse, shared bin room |
Collections run weekly as standard, and your exact schedule is confirmed in the quote. If one bin is not enough for your peak week, the answer is usually a second bin rather than a bigger promise. Our bin size guide by industry works through the sizing logic in detail.
Active provider coverage spans the Melbourne metro area, including the CBD, Southbank and Docklands, the inner north (Carlton, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Brunswick, Northcote, Preston), the inner south and east (South Yarra, Prahran, Richmond, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Brighton, Moorabbin), the west (Footscray, Sunshine, Werribee), and the growth corridors out to Frankston and Dandenong. Enter your postcode in the quote flow and coverage is confirmed on the spot. The Melbourne locations page has the metro-wide picture.

Get your exact priceMelbourne's inner suburbs run on laneways, and laneways are where bin setups fail. Three things to sort before your first collection:
Storage. Councils across inner Melbourne require commercial bins to be stored on your premises, not on the footpath or in the laneway, outside collection windows. If your tenancy has no rear space, measure the doorway before choosing a bin: a 1100L bin does not fit through a standard door, a 240L does.
Shared bin rooms. CBD towers and converted warehouse buildings often run a shared waste room. Check whether your building manager controls provider access and what hours the room is open before you book, and label your bins clearly if the room is shared.
Collection windows. Inner-city collections typically run early morning to avoid pedestrian and delivery congestion. Your provider confirms the window that applies to your street when you book.
The honest answer: through Bin Hire Australia in Victoria, the bookable stream is general waste. No recycling, cardboard or organics wheelie stream is currently priced by Victorian providers on the platform.
That does not mean the material has to go to landfill. Cardboard is worth flattening and taking to a commercial recycler, and eligible drink containers earn refunds through Victoria's container deposit scheme. Victoria's four-bin reform applies to household kerbside collection, not businesses, and we cover what that reform actually means for Victorian businesses separately. Reducing what lands in the general bin is still the fastest way to cut waste costs: here is how.
Every price is specific to your address, bin size and business type, which is why this article contains no rate table. Get your exact Melbourne price: about two minutes, locked before you book, and the provider's own advertised rate with nothing added on top.

240L, 660L and 1100L general waste wheelie bins, collected weekly. Small offices and shops usually run a 240L, food venues and busy retail a 660L, and high-volume sites a 1100L or multiple bins.
Not currently. Victorian providers on the platform price general waste collection only. For recycling, most Melbourne businesses flatten cardboard for a commercial recycler and use Victoria's container deposit scheme for eligible drink containers.
