Ballarat Skip Bin Hire

Fast, affordable skip bins delivered to your front door. Pick a size, fill it to the rim, and skip the tip run.

01 The bins

Pick a bin. See what it holds.

Five sizes, from a mini skip for a weekend clear-out to the Mammoth. Each model is drawn to the bin's estimated dimensions, with 250L wheelie bins beside it for scale.

Book the 2m³ bin

02 Book

Call or message. That's the booking.

Once you've picked a bin, call (03) 4320 5647 or send a message for a quote. Price varies with the type of waste and how much of it there is, so tell us what's going in.

Book before 2PM for same day delivery, subject to availability. Otherwise it's usually a day or two after your call.

03 Fill

Fill it to the rim. No higher.

Your bin arrives at your property. Your driveway or anywhere on your property is the best spot. Load it up to the top rail and stop there.

Anything above the rim attracts extra fees and charges. Overfilled bins are penalised.

04 Collect

Seven days, then it's gone.

Bin hires are for 7 days. Need longer? Give us a call, and if there's no prior booking on your bin, an extension can be arranged for an additional fee.

No tip runs. You never haul your rubbish to a disposal site or recycling area yourself.

05 What goes in

What goes in. What stays out.

Three kinds of skip, each with its own rules. Mixing a little is usually fine: most people throw out furniture with some tree branches and leaves, and that's okay. Anything more complex, mention it when you call.

06 The fine print

Every extra, up front.

The base price covers the bin. These are the only things that change it, written down before you book rather than after.

  1. Seven day hire

    Bin hires are for 7 days. Extensions can be made for an additional fee.

  2. Same day cut-off

    Call before 2PM for same day delivery, subject to availability.

  3. Per mattress

    Mattresses cost an additional $50 each.

  4. Nature strip

    A bin on the nature strip adds a $100 fee, charged via Ballarat Council. Put it anywhere else on your property and the fee is avoided.

  5. Fill line

    Fill to the rim and no higher. Fees and charges apply to any bin filled above it.

  6. Builders' waste

    Construction and builders' waste is quoted separately. Call to talk it through. No tyres or dangerous chemicals, ever.

Driveway tip

Lay some planks down first.

The bin is heavy, and it only gets heavier as you fill it. If you're worried about scratches on your pavement or lawn, put some planks under the skip bin.

08 Questions

Asked and answered.

Not sure which size you need? Talk to the team. It's usually better to overestimate than to run out of room.

(03) 4320 5647
Does it matter if I mix different types of waste?

It depends on what you're mixing. Most people want to throw out their furniture and mix in some tree branches and leaves, which is fine. If you have a more complex load, mention it when you speak to the team and we'll explain your options.

Is it okay if rubbish overflows out of the bin?

As much as possible, all rubbish should sit within the height of the bin. Overfilling is penalised, and fees and charges apply to any bin filled above the rim.

I don't know what size skip bin I need. What should I do?

Speak to the team and ask for help. It's usually better to overestimate your volume than to run out of space. You can also use the size picker above: each bin is shown next to 250L wheelie bins for scale.

How many days until the skip bin arrives?

It depends on bin availability. Usually it's a day or two after your call, and same day is possible if you book before 2PM.

What are the payment methods?

You can pay by debit or credit card on request.

Can I extend the number of days?

Give us a call. If there's no prior booking on that skip bin, it can be arranged.
