Waste types

Choose the right skip bin for your waste

The type of waste affects how we handle your waste, so tell us what is going into the bin before booking. We use three main waste categories for quoting and service planning.

Three waste categories

Tell us what you are disposing of

Correctly identifying the waste type helps us match the bin, transport and disposal requirements to the job. If a load will contain more than one material type, describe the mixture when requesting a quote rather than guessing the category.

Category 1

Domestic / light waste

For lighter household, property and clean-up waste where dense construction materials are not being mixed through the load.

  • Household clean-ups
  • General property clean-outs
  • Lighter renovation waste
  • Bulky non-hazardous items
Category 2

Builders / construction waste

For building, renovation and trade work. Tell us the main materials being generated so the job can be quoted and handled correctly.

  • General building waste
  • Renovation waste
  • Site clean-ups
  • Trade and construction debris
Category 3

Bricks / Concrete / Roof Tiles

Dense materials need to be identified separately when booking because weight and handling requirements differ from lighter waste.

  • Bricks
  • Concrete
  • Roof tiles
  • Similar dense demolition material, subject to confirmation

Important

Materials we do not accept

The type of waste affects how we handle your waste. Hazardous materials, liquids, gas bottles and asbestos are not accepted and must not be mixed with general waste.

Bin sizes

Waste type and volume both matter

A larger bin is not automatically the correct choice for every material. We consider the waste type, estimated volume, site access and the practical weight of the load.

2m³Compact jobs and smaller volumes
3m³Small renovations and clean-ups
4m³Versatile general-purpose size
6m³Larger jobs, maximum load 10 tonnes
10m³Bulky volume, maximum load 10 tonnes

How to book

Four details help us quote the job properly

1

Waste type

Select the category that best describes the load and use the notes field if the material is mixed or unusual.

2

Bin size

Choose your preferred size or tell us enough about the job for us to help narrow it down.

3

Delivery location

Enter the postcode and suburb so the quote form can check our standard service area.

4

Site access

Describe the placement location and upload photos if access, gates, driveways or positioning may need planning.

For builders and trades

Construction jobs often need more detailed waste information

For ongoing building and renovation work, the waste stream can change as the project moves through different stages. Tell us what is being loaded at each stage so we can confirm the appropriate bin and service.

Not sure which category applies?

Do not guess if the load contains mixed materials or you are unsure how it should be classified. Describe the waste in the quote request or call 1300 785 845 and we can confirm what information is needed.

Tell us the waste, bin size and delivery suburb

We’ll use those details to confirm availability and prepare the quote.
