A skip bin can only be placed where council regulations allow. It is important that you enquire with your local council to see if requires a permit is required before you book. Don’t worry, we can often work out another solution if you’re denied a council permit.

No, waste has to be level with or below the top rim of a skip bin. This is because we can’t safely transport the rubbish to the waste transfer facility, as there is a high risk that the waste will fall out of the bin during transit. Therefore, if our drivers arrive to pick up the skip bin and find that the rubbish is above the top rim, we will need you to unload the overflowing rubbish so that we can transport the skip bin safely.
Of course, if you need a second skip bin delivered, we are only a phone call away.

Allowed:
• Garden waste – for example shrubbery, lawn clippings.

Please work with us regarding adherence to these regulations, as unfortunately if these materials are found in the skip bin then we will not be able to collect it until they have been removed from the bin.

You can check with us by sending a text message to Andrew for extra guidance on what will fit and any possible weight restrictions. You can learn more about our bin sizes by reading our skip bins page.

For example: 6m x 3m x 0.1m = 1.8 cubic metres (if the waste was solid) x2 = 3.6 cubic metres of required bin space.

It’s also important to remember that other factors need to be considered such as lifting and carrying limits, basic safety and road rules. Also, there are certain procedures to be followed in order to transport heavy materials safely. If in doubt, just contact our team to make sure you’re getting the right size and type of bin.

You can hire our bins for between one and seven calendar days. For example, if you chose a seven-day hire period, and you got the bin delivered on a Monday, we’d pick it up the following Monday, unless you extend the hire period by purchasing extra days.

For commercial or construction companies, we are happy to establish a trade account for you and provide an invoice (payment terms are 7 days). Payment terms could be negotiated upon completion of a credit application.

Note – Actual dimensions of each bin may vary slightly due to using different manufacturers

Unfortunately, Skip Bins Gold Coast does not allow asbestos to be disposed of in our bins. This is because asbestos is toxic and only licensed operators can remove it safely.

While the material is dangerous, homeowners are still allowed to remove 10m2 of non-friable asbestos themselves.
