Skip Bins Cooks Hill

Skip bin costs depend on the size and type of waste. Larger bins are more cost-efficient than multiple smaller bins. Green waste is often cheaper than general waste. Duration of hire can also affect the price. Most companies have a set hire period and charge for each extra day. Be organised to avoid extra charges.

No. Some local Councils charge its residents for a permit to place a skip bin on their nature strip or the road. This permit costs you over $100 and is added to your skip bin hire charge. However, our mobile skip bins are on registered trailers, so as long as we are able to comply with parking conditions, you DO NOT pay extra for a council permit when hiring our mobile skip bins.

Some benefits of our mobile skip bins is that they have lockable lids, giving you control over who puts waste in them. This saves you from unexpected rubbish from your neighbours. Our skip bins are on a trailer, so we can usually place them closer to where you rubbish is. You won't have to lug your rubbish up a long, steep driveway. We can back our mobile skip bins to the bottom of the driveway, saving you time and energy. Additionally, our skip bins save you money by avoiding local council permit fees.

Each skip bin size has a free weight allowance. Staying under this limit means all tip fees are included in the price. If you go over the limit, you are only charged for the extra weight at the rate we are charged. Our weight limits are higher than most other companies. For example, we give you a 750 kilogram limit for a 4 cubic metre skip bin, while many others only give 600 kilograms. Excess weight charges are rare, with 98% of our customers never paying them.

Yes. We can help you take your rubbish to the skip and load it for you. If you are organised and have your waste at the front of your premises or in an accessible place, we will load your skip bin FREE for the first 1/2 hour. Most skip bins can be filled in less than 1/2 hour.

To get another skip bin, call us if you have extra rubbish after filling up the first one and we will replace your full skip bin with an empty one. We appreciate as much notice as possible but in many instances are able to swap skip bins over on the day we are notified.

While we can typically accommodate pre-booked skip bin deliveries, there may be some challenges on particularly busy days. We encourage customers to provide as much advance notice as possible but rest assured we will always strive to provide same-day delivery whenever possible.

If you know you are not going to be finished with your skip bin by the scheduled pick-up day please contact us as soon as possible. In most instances you will be able to have your skip bin for longer than scheduled however if all our bins are pre-booked then you may need to rebook another bin at a later date, but this is rarely required.
