Aavro Garden & Super Bags, Willetton, WA

Our main income is from providing a regular "garden bag service" for peoples homes. We leave a frame with a bag on it at their homes and we empty the bag every four weeks (monthly service) or every eight weeks (two monthly service) depending on customer choice. The bags hold 500 litres of rubbish (wheelie bins hold 240 litres so the bags hold about the same as two wheelie bins). They are mainly used for garden rubbish but they can put general junk in if they wish. They are not allowed to put food, oil, bricks or sand in the bags. We service set suburbs every day in a four week rotation and the next day that we are returning to their suburb is recorded on the bottom of their invoice. Because we go from house to house within set suburbs we are able to limit the time and fuel spent collecting the bags. This of course, helps us to keep the costs down. Most of our business is for private homes but we also have some commercial clients.
