As the Gold Coast continues to grow, local businesses are under increasing pressure to manage their waste more efficiently and sustainably. From hospitality venues to retail spaces and offices, waste generation is inevitable – but how it’s managed can make all the difference.
Traditional collection methods often come with high costs, inefficiencies, and environmental impacts. That’s where smart waste management solutions come into play. At the forefront of this transformation is Exceed ICT, delivering innovative, data-driven solutions such as the WasteMate Smart Bin – designed to make waste collection cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable.
Understanding Business Waste Management on the Gold Coast
Business waste management on the Gold Coast includes the collection, recycling, and disposal of all commercial waste types – from general and recyclable materials to organic and liquid waste.
Businesses can choose between:
- City of Gold Coast services: Offering kerbside collection for general, recycling, and green organics waste.
Businesses must also follow local and state regulations:
- The Queensland Waste Levy, applied per tonne of landfill waste, encourages recycling and waste reduction.
- Trade waste approval is required for businesses discharging liquid waste (like cafes or car washes).
- The Waste Reduction and Recycling Regulation 2023 governs single-use plastic bans and waste reporting.
By understanding these requirements, Gold Coast businesses can stay compliant while improving sustainability outcomes.
Challenges Faced by Businesses in Managing Waste
Managing commercial waste efficiently is not without its difficulties.
Some of the biggest challenges include:
- Rising costs from the Queensland Waste Levy, which is set to increase to $125 per tonne by July 2025.
- Logistics inefficiencies, with waste often collected too frequently or too late.
- Environmental impact, as traditional waste collection contributes to carbon emissions.
- Limited landfill capacity, leading to higher disposal fees and environmental pressure.
To overcome these challenges, businesses need smarter, data-driven systems that reduce costs, improve efficiency, and support sustainability targets.

Integration with Gold Coast Waste Initiatives
The City of Gold Coast is heavily investing in sustainable waste systems, including the upcoming Advanced Resource Recovery Centre (ARRC) – a facility designed to boost recycling and convert non-recyclable waste into renewable energy.
Exceed ICT’s WasteMate Smart Bins align perfectly with these initiatives by:
