* All prices quoted are exclusive of GST.

Break fee and service cancellation fees

If you need to terminate your agreement with us before the expiry, or you no longer require our service, you may be required to pay a break fee and/or other service cancellation charges:

Equipment Collection Fee $150 plus GST per piece of equipment and all related equipment removal costs.
CES Equipment Rental We reserve right to claim 50% of rental fees for the remainder of term until we are able to rent out the equipment to another customer.
Account Closing Fee $60 plus GST.

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.

Waste Tracker

From 1 July 2021 an important change in environmental laws in Victoria came into effect impacting reportable priority waste (RPW). Fees and costs associated with compliance to Victoria’s Waste Tracker legislation will be applied where relevant.

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

When you have more waste than you had planned, Waste Plus allows you to temporarily exceed your contracted weight limit. A charge to cover the costs associated with the additional material will be added to your invoice. Bin weight technology means Waste Plus can now be applied to overfull Organics and Commingle Recycling bins, on both front and rear lift systems.

Waste Plus should only be used as a last resort. If you are being charged Waste Plus, please call 13 13 39 and have your bin schedule/size reviewed.

Fuel Surcharge (New for Solid Waste Services)*

With changes in fuel prices impacting the transport industry, the fuel surcharge can rise, fall, or not be applied, depending on the movement in fuel prices.

Each month we will monitor the fuel price in accordance with the National Average Diesel Price (c/litre incl.GST) located on Australian Institute of Petroleum website. The fuel surcharge will be applied as per the below table using the National Average Diesel TGP Price for the month prior to the invoice (e.g. May invoice will be based on April fuel prices).

The Fuel Surcharge will be charged per unit for the below services. The Fuel Surcharge will apply to collections, site attendance, truck/transportation hours and delivery/exchange/removals of equipment.

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.

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.

*Changes effective as of 1 May 2022.
