Waste Collection That Flexes With Yarrawonga’s Peak Seasons

Waste volumes in Yarrawonga don’t sit still across the year. The lake brings visitors, and the businesses that serve them feel it. Holiday parks, pubs, cafés, clubs and accommodation see bins fill faster over summer and the school holidays, then settle back again. Meanwhile, farms, worksites and properties outside the sewer network have requirements that run at much the same rate all year.

A collection schedule set once and never revisited tends to suit neither. At FOOTT, we provide waste, recycling and liquid waste services across Yarrawonga and the surrounding district, with the equipment and capability of a large operator and a team that works in the region.

Commercial collections that match your trading year

If your business is busier in January than in June, your waste service should reflect that. We work across general waste, co-mingled recycling, green waste and organics, food waste and a number of specialised streams. Rather than adding another bin every time capacity runs short, we can look at what your site actually produces and when, then build a service around it. For hospitality and accommodation businesses in particular, that can mean adjusting collection frequency through peak periods instead of paying year-round for capacity you only need for three months.

Grease traps and liquid waste for Yarrawonga kitchens

Any commercial kitchen in town, whether it sits in a club, a café or a holiday park, is likely to have a grease trap that needs pumping out on a set interval. That interval is usually specified in your trade waste consent or agreement with your local water authority, not chosen by you. Letting it slide can mean odours, blocked pipes and a compliance problem. Our commercial liquid waste service covers grease trap pump-outs along with other liquid waste streams, and we can help you put servicing on a schedule that keeps you inside your obligations.

Septic tank cleaning in Yarrawonga

Plenty of properties around Yarrawonga sit outside the reticulated sewer network, which makes the septic system something you have to stay on top of. We provide septic tank cleaning for private and commercial systems, pumping out accumulated material before it reaches the point where the system stops working properly.

We generally recommend a pump-out every two to five years. Where your property sits in that range depends on the size of the tank and how heavily it is used, and a holiday property that fills up over summer will load a system differently to a home occupied year-round.

Worth booking a look if you notice:

Drains slowing down across the property
Gurgling in the plumbing
Smells near the tank or the drain field
Ground staying wet or soggy around the system
Anything backing up inside

If you can’t remember the last pump-out, that’s usually reason enough to start the conversation.

Skip bin hire in Yarrawonga

Cabin refurbishments, shed clean-outs, landscaping and building jobs all need somewhere for the material to go. We have a range of bins covering different volumes and waste types, from skips through to bulk bins.

Before you order, the useful question isn’t how big a bin you can get… it’s what is going in it. Mixed loads, heavy material like soil and concrete, and anything that can’t go into general waste all change which bin is appropriate and what the job will cost.

Tell us what the material is, roughly how much there is and what access looks like, and we can work it out with you.

Portable toilets for events, parks and worksites

Plenty happens around Yarrawonga away from permanent plumbing, from sporting events and functions through to building sites and seasonal work on surrounding properties. Our portable toilet range runs from single standard units to trailer-mounted facilities, all-abilities units, urinals and larger event configurations.

For longer-term hires, we can arrange scheduled cleaning, pump-outs and restocking so it doesn’t become somebody’s problem on site.

Returning containers in Yarrawonga

We run a CDS Vic depot in Yarrawonga, so eligible cans, bottles and cartons carrying the 10-cent refund mark can be returned without leaving town. Schools, clubs and community groups collecting containers as a fundraiser can use the depot too.

A local team with the gear behind it

We’ve been operating since 1992. Our equipment and service range compare with the national waste companies, but the decisions get made here rather than in Melbourne, and you can talk to the people who run your service. For commercial collections, grease trap and septic pump-outs, skip bins or site toilets in Yarrawonga, tell us what is happening on your site and we’ll work out what it needs.

Start with a free waste audit

Bins overflowing in January and half empty in June is a sign the service was set once and never revisited. We offer a free waste audit to businesses in Yarrawonga and the surrounding district, for existing customers and anyone considering a change.

One of our team comes to your site, reviews the waste services you currently have and identifies where there's room to reduce waste volumes or stop paying for capacity you only need part of the year. No obligation attached. If the answer is that your current setup is working, you'll hear that too.
