Skip Bin Hire Perth

We make renting a skip bin in Perth easy. Our team can talk you through everything you need to know and will happily create a flexible hire period for you. When it comes to hiring your skip there are just three things you need to keep in mind:

Skip Bin Location

When it comes to hiring a skip in Perth, it’s important to keep in mind where you want to place it. Each local government area will have its own regulations so it’s important to check with your council about its local laws, but in general you can place a skip on private property without the need to apply for permission. As long as the skip does not extend onto public land or obstruct any public space, you are within your rights to park your skip there. However, if you intend to have your skip placed on public land, you will need to apply for a permit from your local council. It’s important to do this ahead of time so that you can get the necessary approval before the arrival of your bin.

Skip Bin Content Restrictions

While a skip bin is a great solution to managing most common types of rubbish and waste, there are still a number of materials that you cannot place in a skip. Perth laws restrict the disposal of asbestos, car tyres, liquids, batteries and supersix fencing in standard skip bins. You are also prohibited from dumping food waste, hazardous materials and tree stumps greater than 30cm in diameter.

It’s important to remember that not all waste can be disposed of in a skip and not all skips are the same. A general waste bin will allow you to discard most household items, such as boxes, wood, cabinets, white goods, carpet etc. However, you can’t discard construction waste such as bricks, concrete and soil in these. A builder’s skip – the standard 6m3 bin – allows you to dump most types of waste. A green waste skip is specifically for organic waste such as grass, branches, wood, bark etc.

Finally, there are certain hazardous materials – such as asbestos, batteries, liquids and food waste – that cannot be disposed of in skips. To find out more about what you can put in a skip and which type of bin suits your needs, you can contact our team who will be happy to answer any questions you have.

Skip Bin Filling Regulations

In addition to restrictions on what you can place in a skip, there are also restrictions on how you fill your skip bin. In Perth it is illegal to transport skips that are overfilled or have items protruding from them. As such, we cannot accept skips that are overflowing and will remove any excess materials. These will need to be transported in a second trip. To avoid incurring costs for additional transportation, we recommend hiring a larger size to account for any waste that may exceed your initial estimates.

The size skip bin you need

Choosing the right size skip for your needs is important. It’s important to have a rough estimate of how much waste you will have to determine which is right for you. We always recommend choosing a slightly larger size to account for any extra waste you might create through your project. Visit our skip bin sizes page to learn more about the options available.

The price of your skip bin hire is based on three factors: the length of your hire period, the type of skip you choose and the number of times you need it emptied.
