A general bin means a non-recyclable, harmless household or commercial waste that cannot be treated through standard recycling streams.
It is a biodegradable organic refuse produced from gardens, parks and kitchens that can be decomposed into compost.
Mixed waste can refer to unsorted municipal waste or to waste containing chemically hazardous and radioactive substances that is regulated under very strict rules.
Excess soil and dirt act as clean fill or may require designated dumpsite disposal to prevent soil pollution.
Clean and hardfill waste refers to clean, non-degradable, and heavy materials, primarily generated from excavation and construction activities.
Australia generates over 75 million tonnes of solid waste annually—roughly 2.88 tonnes per capita—with a 58% recycling rate, yet relies heavily on landfills. Key waste streams include construction and demolition 44%, organics 19% and hazardous materials.
