Office buildings across Wollongong CBD and business parks in Fairy Meadows and Unanderra need reliable waste collection. Here is how to right-size your office bin setup.
Office waste is the easiest commercial waste to manage — it is light, predictable, and mostly recyclable. Yet many Wollongong offices are overpaying for bins that are too large or collected too frequently.
The typical office generates about 50kg of waste per employee per year. For a 20-person office, that is roughly one 240L bin per week of general waste, plus recyclables.
A standard Wollongong office produces:
| Office size | General waste | Recycling | Collection |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-10 staff | 240L | 240L | Weekly each |
| 10-30 staff | 240L | 240L or 660L | Weekly |
| 30-60 staff | 660L | 660L | Weekly |
| 60-100 staff | 1100L | 1100L | Weekly |
| 100+ staff | Multiple 1100L | Multiple 1100L | 2x weekly |
Most offices of 20 staff or fewer need nothing more than a 240L general waste bin collected weekly. That is $39/week exc GST — less than $2 per staff member per week.
Many Wollongong offices also need secure paper destruction for financial records, medical files, or client information. We offer locked document bins with certified destruction — ask about adding this to your service.
