Skip Bin Hire FAQs

Prices depend on the bin size, waste type and your suburb. Mini skips start from the low hundreds and larger builder bins cost more. Our skip bin prices guide breaks down what affects the cost. Call us and a responding operator can give you a written quote. Ask what it includes: tip fees, permits and weight limits.

A 2m³ mini suits small garden or household clean-ups, 4m³ a bathroom reno or garage clear-out, 6m³ a whole-home clean-up, and 9m³+ construction and bulky waste. Our skip bin sizes guide shows what fits each size. Not sure? Tell us what you’re clearing and we’ll recommend the right size so you’re not paying for space you won’t use.

If the bin sits on your own property or driveway, no permit is needed. If it must go on the street or nature strip, your local council may require a permit. We can talk you through it; the skip operator usually applies. See our full Melbourne skip bin permit guide for the rules council-by-council.

Standard hire is several days, and we’re flexible if you need it longer. Just let us know when you book.

Items like asbestos, paint, chemicals, gas bottles, batteries, tyres and liquids usually can’t go in a general skip. Ask us and we’ll point you to the right option for those.

Sometimes. It depends on the provider’s available bins, the size you need and your location. Give your preferred date when you call or request a quote, and the responding provider will confirm a delivery window before you book.
