Your collection day
Your bin is collected once a week on a fixed day, set when you sign up. We confirm the day when you enquire.
Summer, the beaches and seasonal peaks
Kitchens near the beaches have a busy summer and a quieter winter, and food waste follows the crowds. That is one reason our prices are set by weight after we have watched the real numbers: if your summer bins get heavy, we look again and set the tier that fits, or add a second bin for the busy months. If your volumes change through the year, tell us and we will review it.
The NSW food waste rules also allow for this. The EPA says seasonal businesses must comply, and if a site's general waste bin capacity moves above or below a threshold during the year, the rules may apply at some times and not others. The thresholds are 3,960L a week from 1 July 2026, 1,980L from 1 July 2028 and 720L from 1 July 2030.
Three councils, three different starting points
According to the NSW EPA's council list, Randwick City Council and Woollahra Municipal Council already provide a food and garden organics (FOGO) service to households, and Waverley Council has one planned. So depending on where your staff live, food separation may already be a habit at home, or about to become one. For the business rules, your council is the regulator for most sites, so Waverley, Randwick or Woollahra is the place to ask if you are unsure. Our guide to the NSW food waste rules sets out the detail.
What it costs
The price is the same as everywhere we collect: $45 a 120L bin a week for up to 20kg a lift, $49 for up to 35kg and $54 for up to 50kg, ex GST, plus a 9.93% fuel levy shown as its own line. For the first few weeks we watch the real weights, then set the tier that fits. See how the weight tiers work.
