Once you have this information, visit the help page in myBiffa for a detailed breakdown on how your invoice is calculated.

An excess tonnage charge is a charge we apply when we have collected your container and it exceeds the weight limit of your ‘all in one’ price. We charge this by the kilogram so you will only be charged for the amount you go over your limit.

How is this charge calculated?

The line detailing the ‘Excess Tonnage Charge’ shows the weight in kilograms (in the ‘Quantity’ column) that was collected above your standard agreed weight.

In the ‘Rate’ column you will find the price you pay per tonne. The value in the total column is calculated by taking the weight in kilograms, dividing it by 1000, and then multiplying it by the rate per tonne. In this example it would be 175 ÷ 1000 = 0.175, 0.175 x £148.70 = £26.02.

We work in 'billing periods', which are not calendar months, so some of our billing periods cover 4 weeks’ worth of services and some 5 weeks. So the amount charged will depend on how many services you received in that period. Where the billing period reflects 5 weeks of collections, it is likely to be for a higher amount.  But you will only be billed for the services you have received.

We use SideTrade to provide enhanced flexibility and visibility of your invoices. This allows us to send you regular statements of your account and gives you the ability to easily communicate with us about any payment issues. Any clickable links contained within emails sent to you by us, along with your details, are completely safe and secure.
