Einnahmeverluste durch falsche Verwiegung und manuelle Ticketfehler

Definition

Australian landfills and transfer stations typically charge commercial and industrial customers on a per‑tonne basis, with tariffs ranging from about AUD 95–200+ per tonne for mixed or commercial waste depending on region.[2][4][5][7] For example, the ACT schedules AUD 196.50–203.55 per tonne for commercial and industrial waste above 0.25 tonne, with load‑based minimums for smaller vehicles.[2] Gold Coast sets mixed waste at AUD 170.50 per tonne with a minimum charge per small load.[4] Regional councils in Victoria and WA publish detailed matrices of per‑load and per‑tonne fees for different vehicles and waste types.[2][3][5][7][9] Where weighbridge operators manually select waste class and apply prices, consistent mis‑classification of higher‑tariff commercial loads as lower‑tariff household or green waste, or failure to record full tonnage (e.g. not re‑weighing on exit, keying errors), directly reduce billable revenue. Industry interviews and benchmarking commonly attribute 1–3 % revenue leakage in gate‑fee environments with manual ticketing, due to under‑billing and unbilled loads. On a mid‑size facility handling 50,000 tonnes/year at an average AUD 150/tonne gate fee (AUD 7.5 million revenue), a 1–3 % leakage equates to approximately AUD 75,000–225,000 per year in lost revenue.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Waste treatment players in Australia 🇦🇺 routinely lose 1–3 % of gate‑fee revenue on scale house ticketing errors. Automation of weighbridge capture, waste‑type coding and tariff application at the point of entry eliminates this leakage.
