Clearing a family member’s home is hard enough without working out bin sizes and disposal rules. This page covers which bin to book, what it costs, what can and can’t go in, and what to sort out before the bin arrives.
For a whole house, book the 9m³. It’s our largest bin, and it’s the size we recommend for deceased estates because a full home clear-out produces far more than people expect: furniture, beds and mattresses, the contents of wardrobes and cupboards, then the garage and the shed.
For a unit, a single room, or a house the family has already been through, a 4m³ or 6m³ is usually enough. If you’re stuck between two sizes, take the bigger one. A second bin because the first one filled up costs more than going up a size at the start.
Every size from 3m³ up has a walk-in rear door, so heavy items like wardrobes, fridges and bed bases can be wheeled or walked straight in rather than lifted over the side.
| Bin | Dimensions (L × W × H) | From* | Typical estate job |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4m³ | 3200 × 1500 × 930mm | $440 | A unit, or one or two rooms |
| 6m³ | 3600 × 1500 × 1250mm | $550 | A smaller house, or a house the family has partly cleared |
| 9m³ | 4000 × 1500 × 1520mm | $700 | A whole house, including garage and shed |

Tonnage restrictions apply to heavy materials such as concrete, bricks, tiles and soil in the 9m³; the 6m³ has no weight restriction.
Asbestos, hazardous chemicals, paints, solvents, gas bottles, tyres, car or other batteries, medical waste and food waste can’t go in a skip bin, and extra charges may apply if they’re found in one. Estates often have some of these, so it’s worth setting them aside first:
Once something is in a skip, it’s gone. Before the bin arrives, it helps to:
Not every family can do the clear-out themselves, whether because of distance, time, or simply because it’s too much right now. We work with a clear-out partner who can help empty the house. Ask when you book or call 07 3067 8902, and we’ll put you in touch.
The hire period is agreed when you book, and it can be extended by the day if clearing the house takes longer than planned, which is common with estates. Same-day delivery is often available on Brisbane bookings made before midday. We deliver across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Redlands and the Gold Coast; check your suburb on the service areas page.
For a whole house, most families book our 9m³ bin, the largest we hire. For a unit, a single room, or a house where the family has already taken most of the furniture, a 4m³ or 6m³ is usually enough. If you are stuck between two sizes, take the bigger one.
A 4m³ bin starts from $440, a 6m³ from $550 and a 9m³ from $700, including delivery, hire and collection. The exact price depends on the suburb and the type of waste. The instant online quote shows the price for the property’s address.
