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. 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)
• Friable asbestos
• Loose insulation
• Hazardous or suspect materials

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.

Yes, you may mix general waste, green waste and building materials in the same skip bin. We sort the waste as needed. A few exclusions apply for hazardous materials.

Small clean-ups may suit a 2m³ or 3m³ bin, while medium home projects often need 4m³ to 8m³ bins. Larger clean-ups or renovation jobs may require 10m³, 12m³ or bigger. Our team can guide you so you book the right skip size and avoid overfilling, which may lead to extra charges.

We offer skip bins from 2m³ to 25m³, along with 1m³ and 3m³ skip bags. This range suits everything from small domestic jobs to large-scale commercial waste needs. This makes it easy to hire a skip that fits your project.

• No permit is needed when your bin is placed on private property.
• A local council permit is required if the bin must sit on public land, such as the footpath or nature strip.
• Bins placed on public property must not block pedestrian access or utilities.

If you have any concerns, we can guide you on what is required before your booking.
