Our Rubbish Removal Services
What Is A Skip Bin?
A skip bin is a large rubbish container that is either open on the top or covered with a lid. It is metal fabricated and made to withstand strong forces during loading and transport, and all kinds of waste can be loaded into it. Most skips are not emptied into a garbage truck like local council rubbish collection services. Marrel skip bins are loaded onto a truck, and our mobile skip bins are towed away and removed from the location.
What Are Mobile Skip Bins?
Mobile trailer skip bins are attached and towed by a utility vehicle. Our experts will replace or remove the full skip bin and provide an empty one for the next scheduled collection. After properly filling and sealing the skip bin, it will be transported and sorted at a licensed waste management facility for recyclable materials.

Why Hire a 1300 Skip Bin?
Our skip bins are useful for various situations. These include spring cleaning, house parties, moving out, and renovations. Certain life events can create a lot of rubbish, and how you deal with it is important for keeping a clean environment and a great community. Skip bins can be used for daily waste management, renovations, cleaning deceased estates, hoarding management, storm and post-flood clean-ups, and events like concerts and public assemblies.
Hiring a cheap skip bin service near you is fairly easy. You have to know what you are disposing of in your rubbish. Be aware that toxic and hazardous materials are not allowed by law to be thrown into skip bins in general, as they cause environmental problems and health hazards. These waste materials have toxic chemicals that, once they start to corrode or disintegrate, will seep into the soil, contaminating the water supply and, thus, further polluting the environment. We should be mindful of this as responsible individuals; we should do our fair share in caring for our lovely community.

Local Council Skip Bin Permits
Checking For Clearance
If you’re having the skip bin placed on a public road, check for a clearance of at least 4 metres in height and 3 metres in width before you apply for a permit. This would not be a problem for mobile skip bins, but it would be a concern for marrel skip bins, as these skip bins are lifted up by a chain from a truck and would need ample space for transfer. Therefore marrel skip bins cannot be put under trees or in garages, carports or underground carparks.
Be aware of signed restrictions
Once you have the skip bin permit, you may still be required to pay additional fees to council. If you are in a timed parking zone or metered parking area, you may be charged an additional daily amount by council. Mobile skip bins will also need to comply with any parking regulations in that location and may need council approval to park in restricted or timed parking areas longer than what is permitted.
Reserve Your Spot On The Road
Having a Skip Bins permit does not guarantee your parking spot on the day it is delivered. To ensure your spot on the road, you are allowed to reserve the parking space for your skip bin by placing road witches' hats (those bright, orange cones) on the spot before the skip bin delivery truck arrives. Better still, if possible, park your vehicle in the space. Move it when the skip bin arrives to guarantee a spot close to where your rubbish is. Also, witches hats are not provided by the local City Council. You should go out and get your own. You can use these road cones every time you use public parking with a permit.

How long can I have a skip bin on my property?
Our skip bins are generally rented for a period of 3 to 7 days, which can vary based on the type of skip bin and booking agreement. If you require a specific duration, we recommend contacting us for a quote. Additionally, the cost of the skip bin may be affected by the length of time it is rented for.
If you plan on keeping the skip bin far longer than agreed upon, give us a heads-up by calling us ahead of collection time.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
