Local Skip Bins Melbourne is a referral service. We are not a skip bin company, and we think you should know that before you pick up the phone.
Nobody here owns a truck or a bin. What we do is run this website, take enquiries from people across Melbourne who need a skip, and pass those enquiries to skip bin operators who run bins in the relevant area.
A lot of sites in this trade are built to look like an operator and are actually a middleman. We would rather just tell you. When you call the number on this site or send the quote form, your details go to an independent skip bin operator who covers your suburb. They ring you, they confirm the size and the access, they give you a price. If you go ahead, your contract is with them and not with us. We may be paid a referral fee by the operator. That fee does not come out of your pocket and it does not change what you get quoted.
With your consent, we may refer your enquiry to a relevant independent operator servicing your area. We do not operate as a comparison service or distribute your details to a bidding list.
The useful part is saving you the phone-around, and getting the size right. Skip hire is one of those things where the difference between a 4m³ and a 6m³ is the difference between one bin and two, and most people guess. We keep track of operators who cover different parts of the metro area and who handle different waste types, because the outfit running builder bins into a site in Dandenong is usually not the same one dropping a mini skip on a nature strip in Brunswick.
So you tell us your suburb, what you are clearing and roughly how much. We work out who covers that area and takes that kind of waste, and we pass it on. That is the whole service.
Household clean-outs, deceased estates and decluttering, renovation and strip-out waste, garden and green waste, soil, concrete and other heavy loads, and commercial or ongoing bins for builders, landscapers and businesses. Sizes from a 2m³ mini skip through to 9m³ and 12m³ builder bins.
We cannot give you a firm price over the phone or by email. What a skip costs turns on the size, the waste type, how far out you are and how long you keep it, and heavy waste like soil and concrete is priced differently to a mixed household load. Only the operator can quote you.
We also cannot get you a council permit. If the bin has to sit on a road, nature strip or footpath rather than on your own property, that is a permit from your council, and the rules and fees differ between them. Our permit guide explains what to check, but you or the operator will need to arrange it.
And we cannot make an operator take your job. A small bin a long way out is harder to place than a big one close in, and sometimes the honest answer is that we could not find anyone for you. If that happens we will say so rather than leave you waiting.
Tell us about the job and we will get it in front of someone local. Call 0482 392 415 or send us the details. The quote is free and there is no obligation to go ahead.
Local Skip Bins Melbourne is a marketing and lead-referral service. We are not a waste-disposal operator and do not perform waste collection ourselves. With your consent, enquiries may be referred to independent skip bin providers servicing your area. Providers are responsible for their quotations, licences, permits, insurance, services and contracts.
