SKIP BINS WOLLONGONG

Our skip bins handle general household waste, renovation and construction waste, green waste and business waste. We provide a reliable service for mixed waste, as long as it does not include prohibited items such as liquids or hazardous materials. Skip bins can be used to fill any type of waste including green waste, concrete, and mixed waste. For non-friable asbestos, we offer Hazibags.

Yes, certain materials cannot be placed in our skip bins due to safety rules and disposal regulations. These include:

• Liquids and chemicals
• Gas bottles and aerosols
• Tyres (can be taken at an extra cost of $50 each)
• Friable asbestos
• Loose insulation
• Hazardous or suspect materials

Certain prohibited items may incur additional charges, such as mattresses costing $110 each and tyres at $50 each. Non-friable asbestos can be placed in a Hazibag.

We supply Hazibags for non-friable asbestos and collect them once filled. A licensed asbestos removalist must carry out the removal. We can then handle the transport and disposal of the sealed Hazibag. Please note that asbestos and liquids cannot be disposed of in standard skip bins.

Using skip bins for waste disposal saves time and costs by providing a centralised location for waste. For larger projects, a skip bin is often more economical than multiple small disposals, covering fuel and landfill fees. Skip bins eliminate the need for repeated trips to the tip, allowing you to focus on your project rather than waste removal logistics.

Green waste includes organic garden materials such as grass clippings, leaves, small branches, hedge trimmings, weeds, and plants. Our skip bins accept green waste for environmentally responsible disposal. We sort and process green waste separately to support composting and recycling initiatives across Wollongong.

Whether you're landscaping, pruning trees, or clearing overgrown areas, our bins handle all types of garden waste including soil, turf, branches, and plant matter.

A cubic metre (m³) measures the volume capacity of a skip bin. To visualise: 1 cubic metre equals roughly one standard wheelie bin, or a box measuring 1 metre wide, 1 metre long, and 1 metre high. Understanding cubic metre sizing helps you choose the right bin for your project. For example, a small bathroom renovation typically needs 3 cubic metres, while clearing an entire property requires 10 cubic metres or more.

Clients often look for guidance when matching their skip bin hire needs to the right size, especially when planning efficient waste management. Here are general examples:

• 2m³: A 2 cubic metre skip bin hire is best suited for little odd jobs such as cleaning up your backyard or very minor renovations
• 3m³: A 3 cubic metre skip bin is recommended for tackling a small renovation in the bathroom, laundry, or another small room
• 6m³: Skip bin hire of 6 cubic metres is recommended if you're moving out of a house and need to dispose of old furniture and whitegoods
• 8m³: An 8 cubic metre skip bin is suitable for bigger renovation projects and larger furniture or whitegoods
• 10m³: A 10 cubic metre skip bin is ideal for clearing out an entire property
• 12m³: A 12 cubic metre skip bin hire is suitable for renovating an apartment or a smaller home
• 15m³: A 15 cubic metre skip bin is ideal for large renovations of your home
• 20m³–25m³: A 20 or 25 cubic metre skip bin is perfect for bigger jobs such as clearing a large property or organising a deceased estate
