What waste types do Cheapa Skips accept?

Cheapa Skips accepts general household waste (furniture, mattresses, appliances, lawn clippings), commercial and construction waste (tiles, timber, gyprock, metal), green waste (palm fronds, branches, tree trunks up to 400mm diameter), mixed heavy waste (landscaping, turf, glass, dirt, bricks, concrete), soil and clean fill, and concrete and bricks. Hazardous items such as tyres, paint tins, gas bottles, and asbestos are not accepted.

What skip bin sizes does Cheapa Skips offer?

Cheapa Skips offers a full range of Marrel skip bin sizes: 2-3m³ (bathroom renos, small cleanups), 4m³ (moving house), 5m³ (medium general waste), 6m³ (construction sites), 8m³ (bulky items), 10m³ (heavy materials), 12m³ (large industrial jobs), and 15m³ (very large or heavy waste). The right size depends on your waste type, as bulky items take more space than green or general waste.

What items cannot be placed in a Cheapa Skips skip bin?

Restricted and hazardous items that cannot be disposed of in a Cheapa Skips bin include tyres, paint tins, flammable materials (gas bottles, petrol cans), motor parts with oil or grease, and asbestos. Placing restricted items in a skip bin contaminates the load and you will be responsible for the additional cost of separating those materials. Asbestos removal must be handled by licensed professionals.

Where can a skip bin be placed on my property?

Cheapa Skips bins can be placed in your preferred location where practically accessible. They can also be placed on the nature strip (verge), provided the skip does not obstruct pedestrian walkways. The bin should be positioned so it is easy for you to fill and easy for our truck to collect.

Does Cheapa Skips sort or recycle waste?

Yes. Cheapa Skips sorts recyclable materials from general rubbish wherever possible at their sorting facilities, helping to reduce landfill impact and ensure responsible disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not sure where the skip can go? Wondering how long you can keep it or what you can throw in? We get these questions all the time, so we’ve answered some of the most common below

Do I need a council permit for a residential skip bin?

If your skip bin is placed entirely on private property, such as your driveway, yard, or other suitable areas, no council permit is required.

If the skip needs to be placed on a public road, footpath, or nature strip, a permit may be required depending on your local council. Permit rules can vary by location, but Cheapa Skips can guide you through the process.

How long can I keep a residential skip bin?

Our standard residential hire period is 7 days, which suits most garden clean-ups and home projects. If you need more time, extended hire periods are available, just let us know when booking and we’ll tailor the hire to your needs.

Can you deliver skip bins on weekends?

Yes! We offer weekend delivery across most of our service areas. Weekend bookings are popular, so we recommend booking early to secure your preferred delivery time.

We offer same-day delivery in many areas, subject to availability. For the best chance of securing your preferred delivery time, we recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance.
