Which size do homes need?
More than half the bins we take to homes are a 4m or a 6m. Both are 1.5m wide.
6m skip bin
3.6m long and 1.3m high, about 24 wheelie bins.
This is the one for a whole house or a deceased estate.
With a drop-down door, it's $720 in general waste.
The door drops down so you can barrow things in. Clearing a bigger house? The 8m holds a third more, for $860 in general waste. Every other size is on Skip bin prices. For a renovation, our size guide goes job by job.
General waste, green waste or mixed and heavy?
Household rubbish, old furniture and packaging go in general waste, and garden waste can go in with them. If it's only garden clippings, book green waste. A solid garden clean-up fits a 3m green waste bin, for $350.
A renovation goes in mixed and heavy, never general waste. If it's only concrete and bricks, book concrete and brick. If there are no tiles, hardwood, soil, concrete or rolls of carpet and underlay, book light construction. Each costs less than mixed and heavy. If soil, concrete or bricks are mixed through your rubbish, that's mixed and heavy too.
Builder? Our page for builders shows which bins they book.
A bag of rubbish in a green waste bin means it's no longer green waste.
Where does the bin go at a house?
It goes on your own property, like your driveway or yard, so you don't need a council permit. We'll talk through the spot with you before delivery.
The driver needs clear space around it to set the bin down. The truck needs a gap about 2.4m to 3m wide to get in. It's 2.85m high, and up to 3.75m while it lifts a bin. Overhanging trees cause the most trouble, so trim any low branches before we arrive. Pick a spot clear of power lines too.
We always put timber under the bin to protect your driveway. A heavy load of soil or concrete can still mark it. If there's soft ground, a steep slope or a car to move, tell us before the day.
Weight limits and cancelling are on How skip bin hire works.
What can't go in from a house clean-out?
Paint, gas bottles, batteries, tyres, chemicals and asbestos can't go in any of our bins. An empty paint tin that has dried out can go in general waste. Empty the fridge first, because food in a bin costs $200 to clean out. A mattress can go in any bin for $70, if you tell us before delivery.
Where to take the rest is in our guide, What can't go in a skip bin?
How long do I keep the bin?
From delivery day to the same day the next week. Need it longer? Ring us before the pick-up date. Each extra day is $33 on a 3m or 4m and $55 on a 6m or 8m, GST included.
When do I pay?
Before or at delivery, by card, bank transfer or cash.
Is there a charge for distance?
No. It's the same price anywhere in our area.

Just got a bin to clean up around the house. Just through out all the junk that builds up over the years. Was brilliant! So easy dropped the bin on my drive way and picked up later the next day. I didn’t even need to be home. Will use again
