While there's no strict minimum, regular collections work best for businesses generating at least 100kg per month. For smaller volumes, quarterly collections or occasional drop-offs at our facilities may be more suitable. We'll advise what works best for your specific situation.
Absolutely. Your account manager can adjust collection frequency at any time. Many customers start with monthly collections and move to fortnightly or weekly as their volumes increase. Conversely, if your operations change, we can reduce frequency. There's no penalty for changes.
Just contact your account manager. Trade account customers receive priority for additional collections. Depending on location and our schedule, we can often arrange same-day or next-day service. This flexibility is one of the key benefits of having a trade account.
We can provide containers as part of your service—various sizes from 240L wheelie bins to large roll-on/roll-off containers. We'll recommend appropriate container sizes based on your volumes and site. Alternatively, you can use your own containers which we'll empty on collection days.
Trade account customers typically receive better pricing than casual drop-offs, especially for regular volumes. The more consistent your volumes, the better rates we can offer. Your account manager reviews pricing regularly to ensure you're getting the best possible returns.
For every collection, you receive:
Monthly, you receive:
Annual summaries are also available for sustainability reporting.
Yes, many of our trade customers have multiple premises or sites. We can set up collections at all your locations, coordinated through one account manager. You'll receive consolidated reporting and payment, simplifying your administration.
Yes, commercial collection agreements continue regardless of market fluctuations. Prices adjust with the market (up and down), but service continues. We're here for the long term and maintain service through all market conditions.
No fixed-term contracts required. We work on an ongoing basis with flexible arrangements. Either party can adjust or end the service with reasonable notice (typically 30 days). We prefer to earn your continued business through excellent service rather than contract lock-ins.
Usually within 2-3 working days. We'll set up your account, agree schedule and pricing, arrange any containers needed, and start collections. For urgent requirements, we can sometimes start even faster. Contact us to discuss your timeline.
