All About Skip Bins

Skip bins are an ideal solution for managing waste efficiently, whether you're tackling a construction project, a home renovation or just clearing out clutter.

This guide explores everything you need to know about skip bin services in Australia, including bin sizes, types, pricing and regulations.

Discover how Waster’s skip bins offer a convenient, cost-effective way to keep your project site clean and environmentally responsible.



What Are Skip Bin Services and How Do They Work?

Skip bin services provide a convenient way to collect, remove, and dispose of large volumes of waste for various projects and industries.

Businesses, construction sites, and even homes use skip bins for easy waste collection—especially when dealing with materials that are bulky or require specialised disposal.

Once booked, a skip bin is delivered to your site, where you can fill it with approved waste types at your own pace.

When full, the service provider (such as Waster) picks up the bin, transports it for processing and ensures proper waste disposal or recycling, taking the hassle out of managing large waste loads.


Understand Different Types of Skip Bins

Skip bins come in various types to suit different waste disposal needs, from small home projects to large construction sites. Choosing the right bin can make waste removal more efficient and cost-effective.

There are 2 types of skip bins your business or home may need. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the two:


Marrel Skip Bin

Simply put, a marrel skip bin is a metal bin that can come in different sizes – usually 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 cubic metres.

It is a rectangular or trapezoid-shaped bin that is lifted on and off by a truck with the use of chains, as opposed to a hook lift skip bin that requires the use of a hydraulic system to get on and off the ground.


Hooklift Skip Bin

This type of skip bin is larger than your average marrel skip and are more suitable for bigger projects such as a major house renovation and commercial building.

With its rectangular shapes and rear-opening doors, manual loading has never become easier! Additionally, it can be lowered on and off the truck by the truck’s hydraulic system, as opposed to a marrel skip that is lifted and lowered by the truck’s chains.


Common Uses for Skip Bins

Skip bins are versatile and used across various projects, helping simplify waste management for tasks of all sizes. Here are some of the most common uses:

  • Construction and Demolition – Perfect for collecting materials like bricks, concrete, metal and timber from construction sites or demolition projects.
  • Home Renovations – Useful for handling waste from remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor areas, including old fixtures, tiles and cabinetry.
  • Garden and Landscaping Projects – Ideal for disposing of green waste such as soil, branches, grass clippings and other organic materials.
  • Office and Commercial Cleanouts – Great for clearing out office furniture, electronics or excess inventory during business cleanouts.
  • Event Cleanups – Convenient for managing waste from large gatherings or events, such as disposable items, decorations and packaging.
 

Skip bins are practical for almost any project that generates substantial waste, offering a simple solution to keep your space clean and organised.
