Delivery & Collection
Which Adelaide suburbs do you service?
⌄
We cover North, South, East & West — including Port Adelaide, Wingfield, Salisbury, Norwood, Glenelg, Unley and more. Browse all Service Areas.
Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?
⌄
No. If the site is clear and we have placement instructions, we'll deliver/pick up without you present. We'll position the bin where you specify.
How much clearance/space do I need?
⌄
Aim for 2.5 m width and good overhead clearance (powerlines/trees). Most driveways are fine. Nature strip placements may need council approval.

Do I need a council permit?
⌄
On private property: usually no permit. On public land (road, nature strip): some councils require a permit. We'll advise requirements during booking.
Size, Weight & Safety
What's the difference between m³ and tonnes?
⌄
m³ measures capacity (volume). Tonnes measure weight. Each bin includes a fair weight allowance—heavy materials (concrete/soil) reach weight limits faster.
Can I mix waste types?
⌄
General bins can include mixed household waste. Heavy materials (concrete, brick, soil) must go into a dedicated clean-fill or heavy waste bin to avoid overload fees.
What happens if I overfill the bin?
⌄
For safety, loads must not exceed the rim. Overfilled bins may need repacking or incur extra charges. When in doubt, choose the next bin size up.
