What's the cheapest skip bin?

Our cheapest skip bin is a 2m green waste bin at $300. For household rubbish, it's a 2m general waste bin at $330. It holds about 8 wheelie bins of rubbish, about $41 per wheelie bin. An 8m holds about 32 for $860, about $27 per wheelie bin.

When is mixed and heavy worth it?

Mixed and heavy is worth booking only when your load is a mix, like broken concrete with household rubbish in it. If it's all one material, book that type instead. A 4m of concrete and brick is $470. The same bin as mixed and heavy is $660. A building or renovation load with no tiles, soil, concrete, hardwood or rolls of carpet and underlay costs less as light construction, $590 for a 4m.

What costs extra?

  • An extra day is $33 on a 2m, 3m or 4m, and $55 on a 6m or 8m. Door versions cost the same.
  • A mattress is $70 each, in any bin. Tell us before delivery.
  • Food waste can't go in any bin. If we find some, it's $200 to clean the bin out and dispose of the load.

An overloaded or overweight bin may cost extra. Over the weight limit, general waste and light construction cost $27.50 per 100kg and green waste $16.50 per 100kg, GST included. Each size page, linked in the table, gives its weight limit.

Do you charge more to deliver further away?

No. There's no extra charge for distance anywhere in our area.

When do I pay?

Payment is due before or at delivery, by card, bank transfer or cash.

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!
