Skip bin guides

What can go in a concrete and brick skip bin?

Written up from Shaun's and Petrina's own notes.

A Shelby Skips concrete and brick bin takes broken concrete, bricks, pavers, besser blocks, slabs and roof tiles. Ceramic tiles can go in too, for an extra $100 per skip, GST included. Rubbish can't go in, not even one bag.

What about an old tile roof?

Old concrete and terracotta roof tiles both go in. A tile roof usually takes two 6m bins, and a big house can take three.

Why do ceramic tiles cost extra?

They cost us more to get rid of than concrete. It's the same charge whatever the bin size. With only tiles, concrete and bricks in it, the bin still costs less than mixed and heavy in every size.

Can slabs go in, reo and all?

Yes, reo or mesh in the concrete is fine. Break up any piece that would stick out of the bin.

Can sandstone or river rock go in?

No. Neither can go in a concrete and brick bin. Ring us before you book.

Can asbestos go in?

No, not in any of our bins. The Queensland Government's asbestos site says a home built before 1990 is likely to contain some asbestos.

Can a renovation go in a concrete and brick bin?

Yes, if it's only concrete, bricks and tiles. Any timber in it, hardwood included, means mixed and heavy. Don't book any renovation as general waste. Our size guide has the bin for each kind of renovation.

How full can I fill it?

Right to the rim, and no higher. We only offer concrete bins in sizes we can lift when they're full. Our trucks can't legally carry more than 6,000kg, and a full 6m of concrete is already at that weight. So concrete never goes in an 8m. For a bigger job, we send two bins.

What happened on a real tile job?

In early March 2026, we took a 3m mixed and heavy bin to a tile removal job. It went up a steep driveway and under power lines. What we'd tell the next person: pick a bin with a drop-down door. The 4m and 6m come with one, so you can wheel the tiles straight in.

Five stars- use this company - forget the rest. Previously tried another company but they weren't transparent with their prices. I have hired 3 bins from Shelby skips and each time I have been treated with courtesy and professionalism. The skip bin arrives when they say it will; its picked up when they say it will be picked up; and the prices quoted are correct, with no hidden costs. Do what I did and use Shelby's , an Australian local family owned and operated company - you'll be glad you did. Sonia T - Mango Hill

I couldn’t recommend Shelby Skips more highly! Such great value for money, and they were incredibly accommodating with everything I needed. The communication was absolutely amazing from start to finish, so easy and stress free to deal with. It’s so nice supporting a small family business that genuinely cares about their customers. I’ll definitely be using them again!
