Strata waste management in one scope
Strata bin room cleaning is the job nobody wants and everybody notices. A smelly bin room is the fastest way to fill a strata manager's inbox, and a missed collection day means overflowing bins for a week.
Our strata waste management service covers both halves of the problem. We clean the bin room itself (sweep, mop, wash down and deodorise) and we handle bin rotation, putting bins out for council collection and bringing them back in. Both go into the same scope, so one contractor is responsible for the whole job.
Bin rotation for strata buildings
Bin rotation runs on your council's collection days for general waste, recycling and garden organics where the building has them. We note any rules from your council and the building, such as where bins can be left on the kerb and when they must be back inside.
Want the detail before you talk to anyone? Our guide to strata bin room management covers what to put in the scope and what to ask your cleaner.
What's included
| Task | What we do |
|---|---|
| Bin room floor | Sweep, mop and wash down, including corners and under bin lines |
| Walls and doors | Wipe down splash marks, door handles and push plates |
| Deodorise | Treat the floor and drains to reduce odours |
| Bin rotation out | Move bins to the collection point on council collection day |
| Bin rotation in | Return bins to the bin room after collection and line them up neatly |
| Bin chute areas | Wipe chute doors and hoppers on each floor where the building has a chute |
| Bin room floor litter | Pick up loose litter around the bins inside the bin room |
| Reporting | Tell the building manager about broken bins, overflowing bins or damage we find |
Not included: washing the inside of individual bins, and anything outside the bin room and the collection point.
How often
| Task | Typical frequency |
|---|---|
| Bin rotation | Every council collection day (general, recycling, organics) |
| Bin room sweep and spot mop | Weekly |
| Bin room wash down and deodorise | Fortnightly or monthly, weekly in summer |
| Chute doors and hoppers | Weekly |
Summer heat makes bin rooms smell faster. Many buildings increase wash downs from December to March and drop back in winter.

Signs your bin room needs a better scope
- Residents complain about smells, especially in summer.
- Bins are still on the kerb the day after collection, or never made it out.
- Loose bags and litter sit on the bin room floor between cleans.
- Nobody can say who is responsible for bins on public holidays.
Every one of these is fixed by writing bin rotation and bin room cleaning into the same scope, with collection days listed by stream. That way the strata manager can see in one place who does what, and residents stop emailing about it.

Lunar has cleaned strata buildings, businesses and homes in Sydney since February 2018. This page is written from how we scope and clean these sites ourselves, and the owner walks every strata and commercial site before it is priced.
Questions we get asked
What does a strata bin room clean include?
We sweep, mop and wash down the floor, wipe the walls and doors, clear loose litter around the bins and deodorise the room and drains. The full list is in the table above.
Can you just do bin rotation without cleaning?
Yes. Some buildings only need bins out and in on collection day. We can price bin rotation by itself and add bin room cleaning later if you want.
What happens on public holidays when collection days change?
We follow your council's holiday collection schedule. If we're not sure, we check with the building manager before the week starts.
Do you wash the inside of the bins?
Our scope covers the bin room and moving the bins. Washing the inside of individual bins isn't part of this scope.
Who do we call if the bins weren't put out?
Your Lunar contact for the building. Tell us straight away and we'll sort it and let you know what happened.
Can you handle buildings with several bin rooms or chutes?
Yes. Larger apartment blocks with several bin rooms, chutes or several collection days a week are a common fit. Chute doors and hoppers on each floor go into the scope.
How do you stop bin room smells in summer?
Many buildings increase wash downs and deodorising from December to March, then drop back in winter. We write the summer frequency into the scope.
Do you handle recycling and organics as well as general waste?
Yes. Bin rotation runs on your council's collection days for general waste, recycling and garden organics where the building has them.
