FAQ
Before hiring a skip bin, you should look at the load you need to remove and try to estimate it roughly - "How many wheelbarrows/ trailer loads do I need to remove my waste". After having your estimated number of wheelbarrow/trailer loads that you need, check our skip bin sizes and decide which wheelbarrow/trailer will fit your need. You can order your skip bin online or over the phone by calling our fantastic team at 0421 067 624.
A skip bin is a heavy duty trash container used for large cleanup projects. This large, heavy-duty dumpster is rectangular in shape and is made of welded steel with an open top for easy onsite loading of trash, garbage and debris. Its large capacity makes it ideal for cleanup, renovation, remodeling or demolition.

You need to request permission for the skip bin to be placed on the road. This will depend on your city council and your address. The price will vary depending on the length of time the skip bin is rented.
It will depend on where you will place the skip bin. If you decide to place your skip bin on your property, you don't need to permit it. But if the skip bin is placed on the road, you must apply for a permit at your city council.
