Landfill levies rise every year and providers pass them straight into your invoice. Before you accept the higher bill, check your rate. Free, 60 seconds, and we call you directly.
Every tonne of waste sent to landfill attracts a government levy, and that levy has been climbing hard. The Victorian metropolitan rate jumped more than 31 per cent in a single year to $169.79 a tonne, and under the Environment Protection Act the rate is adjusted annually, with the long-term trajectory pointed firmly upward. New South Wales and Queensland run the same annual increases.
Waste providers do not absorb that levy. It is passed through the supply chain and lands on your invoice, which is why so many businesses open a bill and find it noticeably higher than the one before it. If your contract was signed a few years ago, levy escalation alone may have pushed your costs up dramatically without your service changing at all.
You cannot change the levy. What you can change is the deal wrapped around it: the provider, the bin sizes, the collection frequency and how much of your waste goes to recycling instead of landfill, because genuinely recycled material attracts no levy at all. The businesses paying the most right now are the ones who have never compared. One quick enquiry and MyBinQuote searches the market for the provider best placed for your business and location, then calls you directly. Free, seven days.
State governments adjust the landfill levy each year, and providers pass the increase through to customers. The Victorian metropolitan rate has passed $169.79 a tonne, up more than 31 per cent in a single year, and NSW and Queensland run the same annual increases. Invoices commonly jump straight after.
Not on landfill waste. But genuinely recycled material attracts no levy, so improving your recycling split, right-sizing bins and comparing providers can meaningfully cut the total bill.
No. Tell us what you need and we match you with the licensed provider best placed for your business and location, then call you directly to sort the rest. The service is free and open seven days.
Council rates absorb the levy for household bins, but if you privately arrange skips or extra bins, the levy is in your price too, and it is worth comparing.
