Skip Bin Options

You can place anything in the bin except food, asbestos, tyres, batteries, liquids, paints, chemicals and flammable wastes.

If you need disposal of asbestos, special arrangements can be made. Please contact us for more details

The standard time is seven days. If you require a specific pick-up day, please let us know at the time of booking.

In the interest of public and environmental safety, we are not permitted to carry an unsafe load. Bins must be safely filled and level with the upper rim, so that they can be tied down and covered.

To get the most out of your bin space, it is recommended that you:

• Place soil and concrete in first with bulkier items on top.
• If possible, allow green waste to wilt down for a day or two, which will take up less space. Where feasible, cut down branches etc to fit easily inside the bin.
• Place large flat items on top (i.e., timber and iron).

As much notice as possible is preferable if you wish to have the bin delivered at a specific time on a specific date. Generally, if we are notified first thing in the morning, we can usually have the bin to you either that day or the following day, depending on bin availability.

Payment is required on or prior to delivery. Payment methods include cash, cheque, credit card and direct deposit (cheques should be made payable to Port Stephens Bins). Bank details can be obtained by calling our office on 0408 616 674.  Our drivers can accept cash or cheque. If you are unable to be present for delivery and payment of the bin, prior arrangements can be made when booking your bin. Accounts are available only to licensed builders, tradespeople or registered businesses on approval.

Absolutely! Our skip bins are designed to accommodate a wide range of household waste, including appliances and furniture. Whether you're decluttering your home or undertaking a renovation, our versatile bins can handle everything from old sofas to kitchen appliances. It's worth noting that certain items may require special handling due to environmental regulations, so it's always best to consult with our team before disposing of such items.

Yes, we provide specialised skip bins specifically designed to dispose of hazardous materials safely. These bins are constructed to meet stringent safety standards and are suitable for materials such as asbestos. It's crucial to inform us in advance if you intend to dispose of hazardous materials so that we can ensure the appropriate measures are taken for safe and compliant disposal.

Overloading a skip bin is not only unsafe but also against regulations. If you find that your bin is overloaded, the first step is to remove excess items until it meets the designated fill level. Overloaded bins can pose a risk during transport and may incur additional charges. If you're unsure about the weight limits for your specific bin, our team is always available to provide guidance.
