Most people searching for super skips in Brisbane have one real question underneath it: how big a bin do I actually need? Get that right and the job goes smoothly. Get it wrong and you're either paying for empty space or ringing on day two for a second bin. Skippy Bins Brisbane is an independent local operator and is not affiliated with any business trading under a similar name. This page is written as a comparison for people weighing up their Brisbane options.
This page is mostly about the size decision, because that is the one that actually determines how the job goes.
About 8 to 10 wheelie bins. A single room clear-out, a couch and a mattress with room to spare, a light garden prune, or a small bathroom refresh where the tiles stay on the wall. Footprint of a small car.
The 3m³ holds 12 to 14 wheelie bins and suits a garage or shed, a laundry or ensuite strip-out, or a moderate garden tidy with shrub removal. The 4m³ holds 16 to 20 and is the most booked size in Brisbane. It covers a full bathroom renovation including the vanity, screen, bath and tiles, or a double garage that's been quietly filling for a decade.
Around 24 to 28 wheelie bins. A full kitchen renovation with cabinetry, benchtops, splashback and flooring. Also a large backyard overhaul with tree removal, or a small office strip-out. It's roughly 3 metres long and will use most of a single driveway.
Our largest, at 36 to 40 wheelie bins. Multi-room renovations, demolition waste, factory and warehouse clean-ups, and pre-sale clear-outs of long-held family homes. Needs a solid level surface and clear overhead access for the truck's crane arm.
Selected bins have a rear door that drops open so you can wheelbarrow material straight in at ground level. Worth asking for on concrete, brick, soil and anything else you'd rather not lift over a 1.2 metre wall.
Some operators advertise bins to 30m³ and above. Those are hook lift bins built for industrial sites, and on a normal Brisbane block there's rarely room to place one, let alone room for the truck to work around it.
Count your waste in wheelie bin loads. A kerbside bin is 240 litres, so roughly four of them per cubic metre. Then add twenty percent, because nearly everyone underestimates once wardrobes and the roof cavity get emptied.
If your number lands between two sizes, take the larger one. The gap between a 3m³ and a 4m³ is usually $50 to $70. A second bin is another delivery, another collection and another disposal fee.
Not accepted in any bin: asbestos, liquid paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, batteries, tyres and clinical waste. Asbestos in particular has to go through a licensed removalist under Queensland law.
This is the part the size charts leave out. Soil weighs about 1,500kg per cubic metre and concrete about 2,400kg. A 4m³ bin filled with either is several tonnes past a general waste allowance, and the excess is charged per tonne.
So a bin of heavy material will look half empty when it hits its limit. That's normal, not a short measure. If heavy waste is going in, book a heavy waste bin from the start and the pricing accounts for it.
Roughly 315 suburbs across South East Queensland, covering Brisbane northside and southside, Logan, Ipswich, the Redlands and Cleveland, Caboolture, Redcliffe, the northern Gold Coast corridor and Toowoomba. Delivery is priced into your quote by suburb.
No. Skippy Bins Brisbane is an independent local operator. This page is here for people comparing Brisbane options.
A 4m³ covers a full strip-out with tiles. A cosmetic refresh without removing tiles fits a 3m³.
Usually, on bookings placed before midday in well serviced suburbs. Ring rather than booking online for the fastest answer.
Call us. We can collect and replace it, though it costs more than sizing correctly at the outset.
Level with the rim. Anything above that can't legally be transported and the driver will ask you to remove it.
Rear door access is available on selected bins. Ask when you book rather than assuming.
Yes, once the refrigerant gas has been recovered by a licensed technician.
