Licences and permits by state

Rules depend on the state. In New South Wales, some waste activities need an environment protection licence from the EPA, so a business collecting waste there should show one. In Western Australia an operator needs a waste collection permit where the local council does not provide the service. Ask any hauler which of these applies to your address before you book.

Summer heat and timing

Summer runs from December to February, and the heat makes food and garden waste smell within days, so book a collection before the hottest weeks. Winter, June to August, is cooler, so waste keeps longer outdoors.

How the price is quoted

Most quotes are per cubic metre, the usual unit for a trailer or truck load. Some add GST on top, so check whether a figure includes it before you compare. Disposal is priced separately at the tip: in Sydney roughly A$20 to A$40 per carload, or about A$100 per tonne, so ask whether the quote includes it. Prices also differ between Sydney and Melbourne, so give your suburb or postcode.

What to write in your request

Say what the waste is (household, garden or building), roughly how many cubic metres or bags, whether it is bagged, and the floor and access, including stairs or a lift and whether a truck can reach the bin. Add the address, the date you need it cleared and your budget. Give sizes in metres, such as 2 m by 1.5 m.
