Hunter Skips

Skip bin hire in the Hunter

A bin in your driveway, left with you to fill in your own time. Sizes from a 2m³ for a garden tidy-up through to a 10m³ for a full clearance.

A bin, and the time to fill it

Skip hire is the simple version of getting rid of something. We drop a bin where you want it, you fill it over however long you have agreed, and we come back for it. No standing around waiting for a truck, and no trips to the tip in the back of the car.

Sizes run from a 2m³ for a garden tidy-up to a 10m³ for a whole-house clearance, and most household jobs land somewhere in the middle. The bin goes on your driveway wherever it can, which keeps the council out of it and keeps the job to one conversation.

Rather have a crew?

Four steps, no surprises

  1. Tell us the job

    Send the form or call with your suburb and a rough idea of what you are clearing out.

  2. We size the bin

    We match the bin to the load. If it is soil, brick or concrete, the weight matters more than the volume.

  3. We drop it off

    The bin goes where you want it, provided there is room for the truck to get in and out.

  4. We take it away

    Give us a call when you are finished with it and we come back for it.

Each waste type travels in its own bin

Four streams, each handled and charged differently. Most jobs are one stream and one bin: a mixed renovation load takes the timber, the plasterboard, the old fittings and the tiles together. Where a job throws up a real volume of heavy material or clean green waste as well, that is when a second bin is worth it.

  • General and mixed

    Furniture, timber, plasterboard, flooring, carpet and packaging. The default bin, and the one most household jobs need.

  • Green waste

    Branches, prunings, clippings and hedge trimmings. Kept clean of soil and rubbish, it is handled separately to mixed waste.

  • Soil, brick and concrete

    Heavy waste. More about weight than it is about volume. It goes in a smaller bin loaded to its limit.

  • Builders and trade waste

    Offcuts, sheeting, packaging and site rubbish from a renovation, a new build or a landscaping job.

Three things worth knowing

Weight matters more than volume

Every bin has a weight limit, and heavy material reaches it long before the bin looks full.

  • Soil, brick, tile and concrete go in a smaller bin loaded to its limit, not a big bin loaded halfway
  • Mixing heavy material into a general waste bin is the most common cause of an unexpected charge
  • Tell us what is going in and we will size it on the weight, not just the volume

Where the bin can sit

  • Your own driveway, lawn or hardstand is straightforward
    • The truck needs clear access to drop the bin off and pick it up again, so check for low branches, narrow gates and soft ground before the day
  • A bin on the road or the footpath usually needs council approval, and the rules are not the same across the Hunter, so check with your own council before you book

What we cannot take

  • Asbestos
  • Liquids and paint
  • Chemicals and solvents
  • Gas bottles
  • Tyres
  • Batteries

Asbestos is licensed work with its own handling rules and needs a separate, licensed process. If you are not sure whether something on your list is a problem, ask before the bin arrives rather than after.
