Yes, we have four different sizes of bins (small, medium, large and stackable), and our team will work with you to ensure that our bins fit your space.
The barber membership has a one-time set-up fee and an ongoing weekly membership fee which starts at $75/week (incl. GST). The weekly fee is based on how much recycling you need based on your size of business.
The full set-up fee ($348 incl. GST) gets you in-salon separation bins, return bags and a merch kit to promote your new membership.
The lite set-up fee ($148 incl. GST) gets you stickers for your bins you already have, return bags and a merch kit to promote your new membership.
Over the last 10 years, our 1,500+ Sustainable Salons members have shown that the average amount of recyclables generated by a barber is about 0.2L (about the size of a slim soda can). Our friendly team will help you work out the best plan for your size business based on the amount of waste you produce.
You can change your membership at any time. If you need to recycle more, we can increase your membership, and if you don't need to recycle as much, we can reduce it.
We currently service metro & regional locations all across Australia and New Zealand. If you’re unsure whether Sustainable Salons is available in your area, chat with our team.
