What can't go in a skip bin?

Gas bottles, batteries, paint, tyres, food and asbestos can't go in our skip bins. Why each is banned, where to take it, and what it costs if it goes in.

What can go in a concrete and brick skip bin?

Concrete, bricks, pavers, slabs and roof tiles go in our concrete and brick bins. Ceramic tiles cost extra, and a big job gets two bins.

What can go in a green waste skip bin?

Branches, logs, stumps, palm fronds and weeds go in our green waste bins. Turf, soil, timber and bags don't. Weight limits from 400kg to 1,600kg.

What counts as clean fill?

Soil with up to a tenth rock or gravel and a tenth clay or sand counts as clean fill in our bins. How to size a bin from a hole.
