Waste Choices online marketplace for waste management and recycling

Waste Choices, an online marketplace for waste management and recycling, is suitable for businesses wanting a simple, fast, transparent and compliant solution for waste collection, recycling, treatment and disposal.

Businesses of any size have the flexibility of posting a one-off project or an ongoing contract for the management of over 30 waste streams. A range of waste-management providers across Australia, including URM, 1300 Rubbish, Action Waste, Waste 2 Resources, State Waste Services, Bingo and smaller providers, will bid for posted projects and businesses can select whom they wish to work with.

Businesses can post a waste project in three simple steps: enter the pick-up location and type of waste to be collected (general waste, liquid waste, recycling or hazardous materials) and select a bin size to represent the volume of waste. They will be able to select from a range of competitive bids from 14 national and state-based waste-management providers with the flexibility to award a project based on price or reputation of the provider.

The service offers an automatic alert feature that notifies businesses that are on annual contracts with service providers when they are about to expire. This avoids businesses getting automatically rolled into new contracts with their existing providers. It is especially suited to small and medium businesses, hospitality, food services, property management and construction companies.
