Businesses in Merri-bek that pay the waste charge can access our standard waste service. Our waste service is primarily designed for residential properties. This means that if we change to fortnightly rubbish collections it would also affect businesses that use Council's waste service.
We want to find out more about the waste needs of your business and how we could support you with this change if Council confirms to proceed with fortnightly rubbish collections. Complete our survey to tell us more.
Information for business operators
Our waste service is primarily designed for residential properties. Businesses in Merri-bek that pay the waste charge and access our standard service may find that fortnightly rubbish collections would not meet their business needs.
If fortnightly rubbish collections are introduced, businesses would be able to get larger or additional bins if they need them to help with the change.
We want to find out more about the waste needs of your business to see if the proposed bin size options would work for you. Complete our survey to tell us more.
Depending on the type of waste your business creates, recycling more might reduce how much goes into your rubbish bin. You could consider getting larger or additional mixed recycling bins to help with the proposed change.
If fortnightly rubbish collections wouldn't meet the needs of your business, you could choose to pay for more bins through our Commercial Plus fee-for-service or choose to use a private waste contractor.
To search for private waste contractors visit Planet Ark's Business Recycling webpage: businessrecycling.com.au.
