The size of skip bin you need depends on your project. Here's a general guide:

• 2-3m³ (mini skip): Small garden cleanups, minor household waste
• 4-6m³ (medium skip): Bathroom renovations, garage cleanouts
• 8-10m³ (large skip): Major renovations, construction projects
• 15m³+ (industrial skip): Commercial projects, large-scale construction

For more detailed guidance, check our skip bin size guide.

Most providers offer a standard hire period of 7-14 days. Extensions are usually available for an additional fee. Some providers also offer flexible hire periods to suit your specific needs. The exact duration and terms will be specified by your chosen provider.

If you're placing the skip bin on your private property (like a driveway), you typically don't need a permit. However, if you need to place it on public property (like a nature strip or road), you'll likely need a council permit. Many skip bin providers can arrange this permit for you, often for an additional fee.

Generally, you can dispose of most household and construction waste in skip bins, including:

• General household waste
• Garden waste
• Furniture and appliances
• Construction and demolition waste
• Wood, metal, and plastic

Items typically NOT allowed include hazardous materials (asbestos, chemicals, paint), food waste, liquids, gas bottles, and tyres. Always check with your specific provider for their restrictions.

Skip bin prices vary depending on size, location, hire duration, and waste type. As a general guide, prices typically range from $150-$200 for a small 2m³ bin, $220-$280 for a medium 4m³ bin, and $300-$400 for larger 8m³ bins. For accurate pricing, use our directory to get quotes from providers in your area.

Some additional fees that may apply include:

• Permit fees for placement on public property
• Extended hire periods beyond the standard duration
• Overloading fees if the bin is filled above the rim
• Heavy material surcharges (for concrete, soil, bricks, etc.)
• Disposal fees for certain waste types (mattresses, tyres, e-waste)
• Access difficulty fees for hard-to-reach locations

Always confirm all potential fees with your provider before booking.

As a directory service, we don't set the prices for skip bin hire. However, many of our listed providers offer seasonal promotions, multi-bin discounts, or special rates for longer hire periods. We recommend contacting multiple providers through our platform to compare quotes and find the best deal for your needs.
