Skippy Bins Brisbane is an independent local operator, not affiliated with any similarly named company. This page covers our sizes, our bin types and the decision that affects your price most.
Anyone looking up micks skip bins in Brisbane is usually a homeowner mid-project who's realised the trailer isn't going to cut it. We're Skippy Bins Brisbane, and this page covers our sizes, our bin types and the single decision that affects your price most: which waste category you book.
The 4m³ is our busiest size by a long way. It handles a bathroom renovation with tiles, fittings and the vanity, or a double garage that's been quietly filling for a decade.
For small projects. Garden tidies, single room clear-outs, a couch and a mattress.
For general waste. Furniture, whitegoods, clothing, boxes and the contents of a shed.
For construction and renovation. Timber, plasterboard, tiles, flooring, cabinetry and packaging.
For concrete, brick, tile and soil. Priced around weight rather than volume.
For garden clean-ups. Organic material only, and the cheapest category we run.
This is where most of the avoidable expense in skip bin hire sits, so it's worth spelling out.
Every load gets classified at the disposal facility, not at your driveway. Book a green waste bin and put a bag of household rubbish and a couple of fence palings in it, and the facility reclassifies the whole load as mixed waste. You get charged the mixed rate on the full bin, and the savings you were chasing disappear.
The same works in reverse, in your favour. If you've got a genuinely clean stream, book it as that stream. A bin of nothing but branches and clippings is composted. A bin of nothing but broken concrete gets crushed into road base. Both are cheaper to dispose of than the same material mixed through general waste, and that's reflected in the price.
Weight is the other half of it. Soil sits around 1,500kg per cubic metre and concrete around 2,400kg. A 4m³ bin filled with either is several tonnes past a general waste allowance, and the excess is charged per tonne. This is the single most common reason a skip bin invoice comes in above the quote.
The fix is simple: tell us what's going in before you book. We'd rather put you in a heavy waste bin at the outset than send you an excess weight charge afterwards.
Ringing gets you a faster answer than booking online, because we can check the day's run while you're on the phone.
Where the bin goes matters almost as much as which bin you book.
On your own driveway there's no permit and no council involvement. Pick a flat solid surface, check what's above the drop point, and make sure the truck can get in and back out. Low branches and power lines stop more deliveries than anything else.
On a road, footpath or nature strip you need a council permit. Brisbane City Council, Logan, Ipswich, Redland and Moreton Bay each run their own process and set their own fee, and they'll want the operator's public liability insurance details. Allow a few business days rather than assuming it's same day. We can help with the application.
One more thing people forget: leave the bin accessible on collection day. A car parked in front of a full bin means the truck leaves without it and comes back another day.

No. Skippy Bins Brisbane is an independent operator. This page is for people comparing local options.
A 4m³ covers a full strip-out including tiles, vanity, screen and fittings. A cosmetic refresh without removing tiles fits a 3m³.
You can, but it'll be priced as general waste. If the green volume is large, a separate green bin usually works out cheaper.
It's charged per tonne over the allowance. Rather than budgeting for it, book the right waste category and it won't come up.
We run reduced weekend schedules. Ring to check availability for your date.
Not without going over the weight limit. Soil needs a heavy waste bin.
Enough for a typical residential job, extendable by the day. Call before your collection date if you need longer.
