Payment Terms and Conditions Explained
How Waster’s direct debit discount and 14-day invoice terms work
One of the most common questions we get is: “How does Waster set up its payment terms — is there a discount, a timeframe, and how are invoices issued?” This guide breaks it all down clearly.
Payment Options (Clause 10)
Waster offers two flexible payment methods:
-
Automatic Direct Debit: Payment is taken from your nominated account with a 1.5% discount. Funds are debited on the 8th business day of the following month.
-
Invoice Payment: You receive an invoice via email around the 5th business day of the following month, and payment is due 14 days from the end of that month.
👉 For example, a September invoice will be issued early October and is due by 14 October.
