We receive many enquiries about our expert delivery service, so we have published many of the questions that we are frequently asked, along with the answers on the page below. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact one of our helpful and friendly experts who will be happy to assist you today.

What bin sizes are available?

Our skips range from two cubic metres to nine cubic metres, with some offering drop-down rear doors that may assist in the loading of waste. For more information, see our skip bin sizes.

What size do I need?

As a guide a standard 6’ x 4’ flat bed trailer is about 1 cubic metre.

If you think you have four trailer loads of rubbish, then a four cubic meter skip would be required.

How long can I have the skip bin for?

Generally, customers can have it for up to five days.

Can I hire for longer than the five days?

Yes, but you need to notify us prior to the agreed pick-up date, and depending on the amount of extra time required, additional charges may apply.

What about delivery and collection times?

Delivery and collection times are not guaranteed.

However, our drivers will try their best to deliver within the timeframe that is provided at the time of booking. See our suburbs delivery areas near you.

Where can the bins be placed?

Skips need to be placed within your own property. If a skip is to be placed on your driveway, it needs to be at least 2.7m wide for our truck to fit onto the driveway. If you need to put the skip on public land, road or nature strip, a permit from your council is required. Please check with your council for requirements. It is the customer’s responsibility to obtain a permit from the council before a bin can be delivered.

How do I pay for It?

Customers can pay by cash or their choice of credit (Visa and MasterCard) or debit cards as detailed on our contact page.

Cheque payments can be received in certain cases by prior arrangement.

How high can I fill the skip bin?

Please fill to the rim only to prevent any items falling out during transportation.

It is illegal to transport an overfilled skip and drivers face heavy fines and demerit points if caught doing so.

What type of rubbish can be placed in skips?

We allow general rubbish in our skip bins, including furniture, household rubbish, green waste and garden clean-up, timber, demolition waste, and landscaping and renovation rubbish. Tiles, roof tiles, bricks, concrete, dirt and sand CANNOT be mixed with general rubbish. See our Blog page for the latest helpful tips and ideas.

Are there any items we can put in the bin that we may be charged extra for?

Additional charges will apply for tyres, TVs and mattresses.

What types of waste are not allowed?

Strictly no asbestos, food, liquids, gas bottles, hazardous chemicals and solvents are not allowed in the bins. If you require disposal of asbestos, please call us for asbestos-only bins, which must be wrapped in plastic and disposed of separately.

Hire skip bins in a range of sizes, from two to nine cubic meters in capacity. Whatever you require our professional skip hire services for, you can be confident that it will be disposed of in an ethical and environmentally friendly manner.
