Grease trap and interceptor waste, liquid waste including oils and chemicals, clinical and sharps waste, cytotoxic and bulk pharmaceutical waste, quarantine regulated waste under AQIS, waste stored in drums and IBCs, and hygiene and sanitary waste. If you are unsure whether a material is classified as hazardous, our team can assess it and advise what documentation applies before collection.

Yes. Budget Waste Services collects liquid waste from commercial sites across Melbourne, including grease trap and interceptor waste, waste oils, coolants, and other non domestic liquid streams. Liquid waste transport is regulated by EPA Victoria and must be carried by a permitted operator with documentation following the load. We issue that documentation on every collection.

Yes, and Budget Waste Services works with commercial clients only. Common sectors include hospitality and food manufacturing for grease trap and liquid waste, healthcare and aged care for clinical and sharps, logistics and freight for quarantine waste, and manufacturing and industrial sites for drums, IBCs and prescribed industrial waste.

Because the legal responsibility sits with the business that generates the waste, not only with the transporter. If hazardous waste is moved by an unpermitted operator or disposed of incorrectly, the generator can be liable regardless of who was driving. Correct disposal also prevents contamination of stormwater and soil, and produces the documentation you need for audits, tenders and insurance.

It depends on trap capacity and how hard the kitchen runs, and the interval should be set against your trade waste agreement rather than a general rule. As a working guide, an in ground trap between 1,000 and 5,000 litres serving a busy restaurant typically needs servicing every four to eight weeks, while a lower volume site may extend to eight or thirteen weeks. Service records should be retained for at least two years.

Prescribed industrial waste is the Victorian classification for industrial waste that requires controlled handling, transport and disposal because of the risk it presents. It is regulated by EPA Victoria, and movement of it requires a permitted transporter and documentation that follows the load from collection to the receiving facility. Businesses generating it are responsible for classifying it correctly and for ensuring it goes to a licensed facility.

Yes. A certificate of disposal is issued for every hazardous and liquid waste collection, confirming what was collected, when, and where it was taken. Consignment documentation is issued for prescribed industrial waste and matched at the receiving facility. These records are what you produce during an audit, a tender response, or an insurance review, and they should be retained for at least two years.
