* All prices quoted are exclusive of GST.

The following fees apply to your terms and conditions with us, unless otherwise stated:

Break Fee and service cancellation fees

There are limited circumstances in which you can leave your agreement with us early.

If you do not have the right to leave your agreement with us early, but we agree to let you do so, you may be required to pay a Break Fee and/or other service cancellation charges:

Account Closing Fee (Break Fee)	$60 plus GST.
Equipment Collection Fee	$150 plus GST per piece of equipment and all related equipment removal costs.

Missed or unsuccessful service

Being able to collect your bin on schedule is essential to delivering a safe, reliable service. An unsuccessful service is an instance where we are unable to complete collection through no fault of Cleanaway, and as a result the service charge will be applied to your account and we will contact you to reschedule.

It is easy to avoid this charge by simply making your bins available for collection on your service day, at the agreed location and not contaminated, overloaded, blocked or locked. If the current scheduled service doesn’t align with your waste collection needs, please call 13 13 39 to rearrange the service to better suit you.

Paper invoicing

Customers have the choice of receiving an invoice either electronically or by mail. Where a customer selects to have invoices mailed a charge of $3 will be applied to each invoice.

Waste Plus

Where you exceed the allowed weights or volumes (as varied by the Agreement Specifics), you may be required to pay the Waste Plus Fee

The Waste Plus Fee amounts below are effective on and from 1 July 2024. For services supplied before 1 July 2024, the previous Waste Plus Fee amounts advised will apply.

Late Payment Fee

When an invoice is paid after the due day a late payment fee may be applied. Current fee from 1 July 2023 is $37.50.

On Call service

Our On Call service gives customers the convenience of an option outside of scheduled services. Because On Call services redirect our trucks away from planned routes, they are not efficient to operate and incur an additional cost.

Solids	$39 plus GST.
Liquids and CES	$39 plus GST for grease trap or CES services.
Health	$39 plus GST.

Scheduled servicing is still the best way to get reliability and ensure you’re not caught short if there are no trucks available in the area. On Call service does not guarantee same day servicing. Your service will be booked for the next available collection in that area.

Weekend and public holiday surcharge

To ensure your business has the service you need, when you need it, we offer services on weekends and public holidays. These services can be booked directly on 13 13 39 and may have a surcharge applied to the collection and disposal amounts.

Solids	The amount will be 15% of the service with a cap of $15 plus GST.
Health	The amount will be 15% of the service with a cap of $15 plus GST.

Credit card surcharge

There will be surcharge % on the amount paid by credit card.

Waste Tracker Fee

In some states, Cleanaway requires specific forms and declarations to be completed for the compliant transport of waste. To ensure accuracy and compliance, Cleanaway provides a dedicated service to manage this documentation on your behalf. This service includes an administrative fee, referred to as the Waste Tracker Fee.
