Waster’s 30-Day Flexible Agreement Explained
How our rolling month-to-month contract works and why it’s fair for both customers and suppliers
At Waster, we believe that waste management contracts should be simple, transparent, and flexible. That’s why we offer a 30-day rolling agreement instead of locking customers into long-term contracts that can be expensive and difficult to exit.
This post explains exactly how our 30-day flexible agreement works and why it’s designed to protect both our customers and our business.
What Is Waster’s 30-Day Flexible Agreement?
When you sign up with Waster, you enter into a legally binding service agreement — but unlike traditional waste management contracts, it operates on a month-to-month basis.
-
The contract rolls forward automatically every month.
-
Either party can end the agreement by giving 30 days’ written notice.
-
Services continue seamlessly until notice is given.
This arrangement is clearly set out in our Waste and Recycling Terms and Conditions, under Clause 4 (The Term) and Clause 9 (Cancellation of Service).
Why 30 Days’ Notice Is Important
The 30-day notice period ensures that services can be wound down in a professional and orderly way. It allows:
-
Final bin empties before removal.
-
Transport scheduling for bin collection.
-
A smooth close to the agreement without disruption to your business.
It’s not about trapping you — it’s about ensuring both parties are treated fairly.
What About Bin Removal Fees?
To keep things transparent:
-
If you cancel within the first 3 months, a $199+GST removal fee applies.
-
This covers transport costs and prevents Waster being used as a “cheap one-off” service.
-
If cancellation is due to poor service, no removal fee applies.
-
After the first three months, bin removal is free of charge.
This small safeguard ensures fairness and protects long-term customers.
How Waster’s Flexible Agreement Compares to Traditional Contracts
Most waste providers require you to sign a 2–5 year contract, with steep penalties for early exit. Waster’s approach is different:
-
No lock-in — only 30 days’ notice required.
-
No hidden penalties — just a fair removal fee in the first three months.
-
Customer-friendly — flexibility to adjust or cancel services as your business changes.
Final Word
Waster’s 30-Day Flexible Agreement is designed to give you the best of both worlds:
-
A legally binding contract that ensures professionalism, compliance, and insurance.
-
The flexibility to change or leave without the heavy penalties common in the waste industry.
