Everything you need to know about skip bin hire. Can't find your answer? Get in touch.
The size of the bin depends on the size of the job. Measure your waste pile's length, width and height, then multiply to find the cubic measurement. For example: 3.0m length x 1.5m width x 0.8m height = 3.6m³, which means you'll need a 4 cubic metre bin.
As a rough guide based on trailer loads (6x4 trailer):
When in doubt, go one size up. It's better to have extra space than not enough! You can also use our bin size calculator to work out the right size for your project.
We offer skip bins from 2m³ to 30m³. The most popular sizes are:
As a guide, the top rail of the bin is the maximum level you can fill to. Anything above the rim of the bin will be considered overfilled and the supplier will have the right to refuse to collect the bin until the extra waste is removed by you.
As long as you like. The price includes hiring the bin for the total number of days, so there are no surprises! Try a different combination of days - hiring a bin for 1-7 days will always have the same rate, but 7+ days will differ.
This depends on the waste type you select:
General Waste: Household items, furniture, timber, plastics, cardboard, non-hazardous rubbish
Green Waste: Grass clippings, branches, leaves, garden waste
Soil & Dirt: Clean fill, excavation soil
Concrete & Bricks: Heavy materials, pavers, tiles
If you're unsure, contact us and we'll help you choose the right waste type.
It is very important that you do not place restricted, toxic or hazardous waste in the bin. This includes:
Mattresses and tyres can be disposed of by selecting them as add-ons during checkout. These items require special handling, and you can easily add them to your booking with transparent per-item pricing.
Yes! Mattress disposal is available as an add-on service. During checkout, you can select mattress disposal for an additional fee (typically $50 per mattress). Our suppliers will ensure they're disposed of responsibly.
Not a problem - the supplier will weigh the bin after pickup and if you are over the limit, they will charge you the extra weight costs.

Skip bin hire costs vary based on bin size, waste type, location, and hire duration. Prices have been rising across Australia in 2026, with disposal levy increases in both NSW and Victoria driving costs up. Sydney and Melbourne have seen the biggest increases, while regional areas remain more affordable.

Yes, our same day cutoff is 11AM. Not all suppliers offer same-day delivery, so you might not always find a quote. It's best to book the day before.
Although most of the time our suppliers meet the requested delivery times, we can't guarantee exact times. Please allow for a window of 1-2 hours on either side of your request. If a pickup hasn't occurred on time, give us a call and we'll sort it out.
On your property: Anywhere you have enough room around the bin and access for the truck to come through (typically your driveway).
On council property: Contact the supplier as they might have a council permit for your area. If they don't, you'll need to get one from the council. Bins on council property must not obstruct traffic or pedestrians.
Yes! Contact us or the supplier directly to extend your hire. Additional days are charged at a daily rate. It's best to arrange this before your scheduled pickup date.
When filling out the booking form there's a section for special requests. Our suppliers will take note and contact you once the booking is confirmed if they need any more information.
