GENERAL WASTE SKIP BINS

General waste refers to everyday, non-hazardous household and commercial rubbish that cannot be easily recycled. Common examples include furniture, clothing, cardboard, packaging, plastics, appliances, electronics, and light renovation debris. If it is not heavy material like soil or concrete, and it is not hazardous or regulated, it is almost certainly general waste.

The right bin size depends on how much waste you have. For a single-room clean-out, a 3m³ bin is usually enough. A full house clean-out typically suits a 6m³ to 8m³ bin. Large renovation or commercial jobs may need a 10m³ to 15m³ bin. If you are unsure, call us! We have been helping Brisbane and Gold Coast customers choose the right bin for over 20 years.

You can include most non-hazardous, non-heavy waste in a general waste bin. However, heavy materials like soil, bricks, and concrete need a separate heavy waste bin, mixing them into a general waste load will affect the disposal cost. If you have a mixed load, call us before you start filling and we will recommend the right bin type.

If the bin is placed on private property, a driveway or yard, no permit is required. Placement on a public road or footpath may require a council permit. Let us know where you plan to position the bin when you book and we can advise you on what applies in your area.

Small amounts of garden and organic waste are generally acceptable in a general waste load. If you have a large volume of green waste, a dedicated green waste bin is usually more cost-effective. Call us and we will help you decide which option makes the most sense for your job.

Our standard hire period covers the vast majority of jobs. If you need the bin for longer, just let us know before the hire period ends. We are flexible and can extend based on availability.

After collection, all loads are taken to a sorting facility where materials are separated and recycled wherever possible. We are committed to responsible waste management and work hard to reduce the volume of waste going to landfill.

We believe in clear, upfront pricing so there are no surprises.

For safety and environmental reasons, certain materials cannot go into general waste skip bins. This includes hazardous waste, asbestos, chemicals, paints, batteries, gas bottles, tyres, and electronic waste. These items require specialised disposal methods. If you’re unsure about an item, it’s always best to check with us before loading it into your bin.

Once your skip bin is collected, the contents are transported to licensed waste and recycling facilities. From there, materials are sorted with a strong focus on recycling wherever possible, helping reduce the amount sent to landfill. Our process is designed to be safe, compliant, and environmentally responsible from pickup through to final disposal.
