Frequently Asked Questions
1Do I need a council permit to have it parked on the street?
No. We offer a permit-free service because all our rolling skips are mounted on registered trailers. They can be left anywhere that you can legally park a car.
2How much notice do you need to book a skip bin?
Generally, if you book in the morning, we can have a rolling skip sent to you within 3 hours. You can plan in advance by booking a skip online for a date and time that suits you. This ensures you get the skip when you need it.
3What happens to the rubbish once you pick it up?
All our skip bins are returned to our depot where they're weighed when emptied.
4How long can hire the skip bin for?
Our standard hire times are up to 5 days. Extra days can be booked by calling us on 1300 10 66 10.
5What can I place in a rolling skip bin?
You can place anything, provided the item isn't dangerous, poisonous, explosive, or a liquid. For more information on what can go into our skip bins, check out our Waste Types page.
6What type of skip bin is best for my rubbish?
We offer 3 products, a 2m3 bin and two 4m3 skip bins. We have two 4m3 options because they have different weights - Save $$$ by paying for the weight and not the volume. If it's just a small clean-up at home or in the garden or shed, our Mini Skip 2m3 bin is a great deal. Our Standard 4m3 mobile skip is our most popular bin and is best for bigger homes & garden clean-ups, while our Super 4m3 mobile skip is perfect for renovation waste & builders' rubbish. Our bins can take a variety of waste such as household junk, garage clutter, garden waste, and builders & renovation waste. You'll find the best options for your needs by browsing through our Waste Types page.
7How much weight can I place in the bin?
Our Mini 2m3 bin can take up to 400kg, our Standard 4m3 skip takes 500kg & our Super (or heavy) Skip 4m3 option can carry 800kg. To help you stay within the weight limit, it is recommended to follow the heavy waste guide for each skip.
Heavy waste includes items such as bricks, tiles, soil, sand, concrete, pavers & rubble. Our Mini 2m3 & Standard 4m3 bins allow 2 wheelbarrows of heavy waste, while our Super Skip allows up to 5 wheelbarrows of heavy waste. You can then include your normal household, garden, or builders' waste as well, depending on which skip you need. See our Waste Types page.

No. All our skip bins are delivered and collected by our friendly staff.

Our trailers are 2300mm wide x 1950mm high x 3200mm long. The actual size of the bin is 1.8m long x 1.8m wide.
10Where can a rolling skip be placed?
Our mobile lockable bins are suitable for driveways, backyards (if access is permitted), laneways, on-street parking, building sites, underground car parks, & even garages.
11Can I move the skip bin?
No. For safety and security reasons, the wheels and towing hitch are locked and by our staff in their final position.
12Do I have to be home for delivery or pickup of the mobile lockable skip bin?

Yes. For your convenience, we provide our customers with a combination padlock for you to lock the lids on your skip to keep nosey neighbours out.
