When it comes to managing your waste disposal, understanding the details of skip bin hire is crucial. Our comprehensive guide not only clarifies the additional charges that may apply to certain items but also outlines what waste is accepted, ensuring you make the most informed decisions for your project. From tackling extra fees head-on to navigating the do’s and don’ts of waste disposal. Let’s dive into the details to help you save time and avoid any surprises.
Not all waste is treated equally. Some items are recyclable, while others are not. For this reason, the following items incur individual charges to ensure responsible disposal:
Mattresses $110:
A charge of $110 applies for any size mattress (cot, single, double, queen, king), reflecting the extra steps required for their environmentally friendly disposal.
Tyres $77:
Standard car and truck tyres are subject to a $77 fee, to cover the costs associated with processing.
Other Items $33
For specific items like paint tins, gas bottles, and extinguishers, a fee of $33 is added to manage their safe and compliant disposal.
When hiring a bin from us, keep in mind that the price includes disposal of up to 1000 kilograms of waste. Should your load exceed this limit, an Overload Weight Fee applies:
Fee $33 Per 100 Kilograms:
$33 for every additional 100 kilograms, or $330 per ton beyond the included weight.
This means if your waste surpasses the included weight, the extra will be charged on top of your initial bin hire cost. We’re transparent with our process and can provide weighbridge dockets upon request to ensure you’re informed about the weight of your disposed waste.
Example for Clarity:
You choose a 4m³ skip bin for household junk, priced at $550.
Your total disposed waste weighs 1200 kilograms, which is 200 kilograms over the included limit.
The first 1000 kilograms are covered by your initial payment.
The extra 200 kilograms will incur a fee of $66 ($33 per 100 kilograms).
Your total cost will be $616 for disposing of 1200 kilograms of waste.
Please remember, the maximum weight limit for any of our skip bins is 1500 kilograms to ensure safe and compliant transport.
When you hire a skip bin from us, it comes with a standard 7-day rental period, which is included in your base price. If your project needs a bit more time, we’ve got you covered, but please note:
Extended Rental Fee $33 Per Day:
An additional charge of $33 per day applies for each day beyond the included 7 days.
This flexible option allows you to manage your project timelines without rushing, ensuring you can complete your clean-up at your own pace. Our hiring terms can be adjusted if you need those extra days.
For a smooth and safe skip bin hire experience, it’s important to know what types of waste you can and cannot place in our bins. Some items require special handling and might not be accepted due to their nature. Here’s a breakdown:
Liquid Waste: This category includes paints, oils, fuels, chemicals (such as cleaning products), and all food and beverage types, along with bathroom, kitchen, and laundry products. While we can collect and dispose of these, extra charges will apply.
Flammable Liquids: Including fuel, diesel, petrol, and oil, these substances pose a significant risk and are not permitted in our bins.
Asbestos: If asbestos is found in our skip bins, reload fees will be applied, and the skip bin will be returned to you.
Food Waste: We do not accept any food and beverages, whether new, unopened, or discarded, including animal parts or wholes.
Dangerous Items: Fire extinguishers, gas bottles, compressed gas canisters, all types of batteries, and fuel containers are considered dangerous and cannot be placed in our skip bins.
For specific disposal requirements or to discuss potential additional fees for certain items, please contact us directly.
When considering skip bin hire, key factors such as skip bin size, hire price, and the types of waste allowed are very important. For those in need of waste removal services, understanding these elements can significantly impact both cost-effectiveness.
Choosing the Right Skip Bin Size: It’s crucial to select a bin size that matches your waste volume to avoid paying for unused space or needing a second bin.
Understanding Skip Hire Prices: Prices can vary based on bin size, rental duration, and waste type. Mini skips are often more cost-effective for small projects.
Priced Skip Bins for Budgeting: Look for transparent pricing to ensure the hire fits within your budget without hidden fees.
Mini Skip Options: Ideal for small-scale rubbish removal, like garden waste, end of lease, spring cleans.

Waste Type Considerations: General waste bins are versatile, but certain materials may require specialised disposal methods.
Consider the volume and type of waste you need to dispose of. Mini skips are great for small projects, while larger bins suit major clean-outs and clearing deceased estates.
Factors include the size of the bin, the rental period, and the type of waste being disposed of. Always check for additional fees for heavy or special waste.
No, there are restrictions on what can be placed in skip bins. Generally, hazardous materials, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, and food waste are not allowed. We have provided a list of prohibited items.
The standard rental period is 7 days for all our skip sizes. Extended rental periods may be available at an additional cost. Confirm the rental duration and any extra charges at the online booking form.
Estimate the amount of waste you plan to dispose of in cubic metres. We can often offer advice based on the type of project you’re undertaking, such as a home clean-up or decluttering or garden clean-up. When in doubt, it’s better to opt for a slightly larger size to avoid needing an additional bin.
