Helping Businesses Save Costs, Reduce Waste, and Take Control of Hygiene.
In today’s commercial cleaning landscape, more businesses are seeking ways to cut unnecessary costs, reduce reliance on contractors, and take control of their hygiene systems.
For Emily Moore and the team at RapidClean Byron Coast, this opportunity came to life through a project with one of the Northern Rivers’ busiest shopping centres, Ballina Fair.
The centre recently made the switch from a long-standing national sanitary bin contractor to ESG’s TerraCyclic Bio-Bins self-managed sanitary disposal system.
Supported by Emily’s team and ESG’s reliable supply chain, the site rolled out 13 large TerraCyclic Bio-Bins and 800 refill cartridges, enough to cover a full 12-month cycle without the need for external servicing.
“We’ve always had great success with this product and believed in its benefits for a long time. Ballina Fair was a perfect fit, we halved the centre’s annual spend compared to their previous provider.”

Why Ballina Fair Made the Switch:
Like many commercial facilities, Ballina Fair was facing:
- High recurring costs linked to third-party servicing
- Frustration with inflexible schedules and contractor delays
- Growing demand for more sustainable, self-managed hygiene solutions
The TerraCyclic Bio-Bin Results:
By transitioning to TerraCyclic Bio-Bins, Ballina Fair has:
- Reduced ongoing costs by 50%
- Eliminated the need for external contractors
- Gained a hygienic, low-touch solution for staff and cleaners
- Adopted sealed, biodegradable cartridges for easier waste management
Cutting Through the Confusion: Waste Classification Explained
One of the biggest barriers faced when introducing the TerraCyclic system is misinformation from national bin service providers. These companies often claim that feminine hygiene waste must be managed under a special licence or classified as clinical or hazardous waste. This is simply not true.
According to the NSW EPA and state equivalent regulatory bodies across Australia, sanitary bin waste is classified as general waste, and does not require specialised handling, licencing or external servicing.
The TerraCyclic Bio-Bin system was designed to empower businesses to manage this process in-house, safely and efficiently. Its sealed, biodegradable cartridge is easily removed by cleaning staff and disposed of in regular waste streams with no exposure, no odour, and no ongoing contracts.
