QUOTE COMPARISON
Compare waste service quotes properly.
When you compare waste service quotes, the lowest opening price is not always the best long-term value. A good comparison considers the contract term, the service scope, the recycling process, price increase history and what happens when something goes wrong. Check out the Google reviews, as this is likely to be what you will get for your money.
What to compare in waste service quotes
Use these questions to compare waste service quotes beyond bin size and collection frequency. The right service reduces work, complaints and uncertainty over time.
Price and contract term
Extra charges
Ask about fuel, disposal, levy, contamination, overweight, access problem, public-holiday and extra pickup charges.
Service scope
Confirm bin sizes, collection frequency, minimum charges, rubbish room access, bin movement, returned-bin placement and public-holiday coverage.
Recycling process
Ask what happens to recycling after collection, whether the process can be explained and whether a facility visit is available.
Reliability and support
Understand who to contact, how missed collections are handled and how overflow or changing volumes are managed.
Supplier confidence
Service value is wider than collection price
A great waste service protects your site, reduces complaints, keeps people informed and gives you confidence that rubbish and recycling are being handled properly.
