No – Waste Initiatives does not collect or dispose of waste. We provide waste management equipment and engineered solutions that help businesses, councils, and recyclers process and reduce their own waste more efficiently. For collection services, we recommend partnering with a licensed waste contractor.
No – we don’t have information on council collection schedules. For bin days, recycling guidelines, and local waste services, please contact your local council directly.
No – we do not remove or process asbestos. Asbestos is a regulated hazardous material and must be handled by a licensed asbestos removal specialist. Please contact a certified provider in your area for safe removal. The Asbestos Safety Website provides a search function to find disposal facilities in your state.
A waste compactor is a machine that compresses large volumes of waste into smaller, more manageable sizes. By reducing waste volume, compactors lower disposal costs, improve site cleanliness, and maximise bin space ultilisation. This results in reduced bin collections, which is where the cost savings benefits are realised.
Balers are designed to compact and bind recyclables like cardboard, plastic, and paper into bales for transport. Compactors are typically used for general, organic, or mixed waste to reduce its volume before disposal.
Our equipment handles a wide range of waste streams, including cardboard, plastics, paper, food waste, timber, metals, e-waste, glass, and general commercial waste.
Consider the waste type, volume, and available space. For smaller sites, a vertical baler may be best. For large facilities, horizontal balers, roll packers, or static compactors provide higher throughput and efficiency.

In most cases, standard waste equipment does not require approval. However, for large installations (e.g., industrial compactors or recycling plants), local council compliance may be necessary. It is advised to consult with your local council when in doubt.
