- Light builders waste – timber, plaster and renovation debris

No building waste in general or green bins. General and green waste bins, in every size including the 2m³, 3m³ and 4m³, are for household rubbish and garden waste only. No soil, concrete, bricks, tiles, renovation waste or other building products. If you have building waste, or large amounts of MDF cabinets and furniture, you’ll need to upgrade to a builders bin. Soil, concrete, bricks and tiles can go in our 2m³ to 8m³ builders & mixed bins with no weight limit, but not in the 9m³ or 12m³ light builders bins.
❌ What CAN’T Go in a Skip Bin
- Asbestos
- Poisons, chemicals and paints
- Liquids of any kind
- Gas bottles
- Food scraps
- Tree stumps
- Synthetic grass
- Silica dust (from benchtop or concrete cutting or grinding)
Mattresses and tyres can go in, but there’s a surcharge for each item. Let us know when you book.
Why Some Items Aren’t Allowed
Items like asbestos, chemicals, paints and gas bottles are hazardous and have to be handled and disposed of separately. If they turn up in a skip bin, the bin may not be able to be collected until they’re removed, and extra charges can apply.
Not Sure About Something?
Give us a call on (03) 9462 6888 before you load it. It’s much easier to check first than to take something back out of the bin.
Got a lot of soil, concrete or rubble? See our landscaper and concreter pages for our no-weight-limit heavy waste bins.
