Skip Bin Price Guide
What Shapes The Prices?
The price of hiring a skip bin will vary based on a number of considerations, such as the size and type of waste you are disposing of, how long you will need to hire the skip bin for, and the distance from where the skip bin is located to both your home and/or business. If the location of the skip bin does not allow for easy access, you may have to pay extra for a permit and/or for any additional safety measures that you may need if you are hiring the skip bin for any specialized material. Being prepared in advance and knowing what your options are will result in fewer surprises when it comes time to hire a skip bin.

Materials And Waste Type
Skip bins can be used for the removal of multiple waste streams including Household Rubbish / Green Waste, Landscaping Debris, Construction & Demolition Waste Mixed Waste and Other Wastes. The cost of hiring Mixed Waste Skip Bins tends to be more expensive than the other waste stream Skip Bins due to the requirement of manual sorting of rubbish. Material that is difficult to recycle or must go to the Landfill may also increase the cost associated with disposal, which is reflected in the hire charge.
Bin Size
Although small skips tend to be less expensive than they are to rent; it may be prudent to use a bigger skip if you do not know how many items will come in and out of this size. Depending on how many deliveries and collections a customer has arranged, renting this larger-sized bin may end up saving them more money. Additionally, waste sites generally charge customers disposal fees per kilogram or per pound based on the overall weight of the waste; thus, if the heavy items are included in the bin, the rental prices for the bin may increase significantly. Therefore, customers should also consider using alternative methods of disposal for their heavier-weight items, to reduce the cost of their overall skip bin rental combination.
Hire Period
Every booking of Hire A Skip Bin includes a standard hire period, but we also offer additional extensions to extend the length of time you can rent the skip bin. If you do not apply for an extension and hold onto the skip bin for longer than what was agreed upon, then you may incur additional charges.
Our team can schedule collection times according to your needs for projects where waste accumulates slowly. We provide flexible arrangements to accommodate your lifestyle.
Location
You will likely need to obtain an approval from the council to use a skip bin in a public area (road, footpath or nature strip). Our staff are available for assistance and can help you with further information on cost of permits and other requirements. It is recommended that you contact your local council before applying for a permit in order to guarantee that you don’t face any delays in receiving your permit.
