Avoiding Automatic Price Increases Through Contract Negotiation In Waste Services
When we reviewed this owners corporation’s waste management contract, we negotiated with their existing waste collection provider and saved over $20,000 per year, without switching companies or disrupting services. These kinds of savings are increasingly important as Victoria’s landfill levy continues to rise. Since China stopped accepting waste imports in 2020, Australian landfills have absorbed what was previously exported, and the resulting levy increases flow directly to owners and residents through higher annual waste contractor fees.
Unlike other contractors who may service townhouse estates (like gardeners or electricians), waste companies typically operate on fixed term contracts, increase their fees regularly and charge exit costs when changing providers. Rather than simply accepting annual increases, we always obtain multiple quotes and use them to negotiate with the existing provider. Part of our role is to ensure that our clients get the most competitive price available, ideally without the disruption or cost of changing companies.
