How to set up commercial waste bins for Perth offices and warehouses — right bin sizes for your space, what it costs, and how to keep waste costs under control.
Whether you run a small office in West Perth or a distribution warehouse in Canning Vale, you need commercial waste collection that actually shows up and does not cost a fortune. Here is how to get it right in Perth.
A 240L bin collected weekly is almost always enough. Small offices generate surprisingly little waste once you separate recycling. Cost: $39/week exc GST.
A 660L bin handles the volume comfortably. If your office generates a lot of paper or cardboard (print-heavy businesses, law firms, accountants), add a 240L recycling bin. Cost: $53/week for general waste.
Start with a 1100L general waste bin and a 660L recycling bin. High-rise offices in the CBD should check building management requirements — some buildings have centralised waste systems. Cost: from $59/week for the 1100L.
Warehouses have different waste challenges to offices. The main waste streams are:
Cardboard and packaging — the biggest volume for most Perth warehouses. Flattened cardboard in a dedicated 1100L bin, collected weekly, handles most operations.
General waste — food scraps from the lunch room, broken pallets, non-recyclable packaging. A 660L or 1100L bin depending on staff size and operations.
Stretch wrap and plastic — often contaminated and goes in general waste. Some recyclers accept clean stretch wrap separately.
| Warehouse Size | General Waste | Cardboard | Weekly Cost (exc GST) | |---------------|--------------|-----------|----------------------| | Small (under 500m²) | 1x 240L | 1x 660L | $92 | | Medium (500-2000m²) | 1x 660L | 1x 1100L | $112 | | Large (2000m²+) | 1x 1100L | 1x 1100L | $118 |
Our Perth contractor covers all major industrial zones:
Separate cardboard. Cardboard recycling rates are lower than general waste. Keeping cardboard out of your general waste bin means you might be able to downsize the general waste bin.
Right-size your bins. Paying for a 1100L bin that is only half-full every week is money wasted. Start smaller and upsize if needed — it is easier to add capacity than to downsize and lose the pickup slot.
Compact your waste. Flattening boxes and breaking down packaging means fewer bin collections. Some warehouses save 30-40% by simply training staff to flatten everything.
Review quarterly. Waste volumes change with business activity. A quiet quarter might let you drop to fortnightly collection temporarily.
All our Perth commercial bins are month-to-month. No exit fees, no minimum terms. If your business moves, downsizes, or just wants to switch — 7 days notice and you are done.
