Yes, mattresses are accepted as general waste in our skip bins. Other bulky household items like couches, furniture, carpet and white goods (doors removed) are also fine. The main items we cannot accept are asbestos, liquids, tyres, batteries and hazardous chemicals.

Yes, general bins accept mixed household waste. However, heavy materials like concrete, brick and soil must go into a dedicated clean-fill or heavy waste bin to avoid overweight fees.

Yes, waste is taken to licensed Adelaide processing facilities where recyclable materials are separated and diverted from landfill where possible.

No, you don't need to be home. If the site is clear and we have placement instructions, we'll deliver and pick up without you present and position the bin exactly where you specify.

You need at least 2.5 metres width and clear overhead space (no low powerlines or tree branches). Most driveways are fine. Nature strip placements may need council approval.

A 3 m³ or 4 m³ skip bin suits most bathroom renovations in Adelaide. A 3 m³ handles a single bathroom strip-out including tiles, fixtures and plaster. Go with a 4 m³ if you're also replacing flooring or doing structural work. For concrete and brick waste, use a separate 2 m³ bin due to weight limits.

Each skip bin has a weight allowance included in the hire price. The 2 m³ bin allows up to 2 tonnes, which suits heavy materials like concrete and brick. Larger bins (3–9 m³) have weight limits that vary by waste type — general household waste is lighter, so the allowance is generous. Overweight bins incur an additional charge. We'll confirm your specific weight limit when you book.

m³ (cubic metres) measures volume and tonnes measure weight. Each bin includes a fair weight allowance — heavy materials like concrete and soil reach the weight limit faster than lighter general waste.

If your bin fills up before the job is done, call us and we'll arrange a swap — we pick up the full bin and drop a fresh one. It's charged as a separate hire. To avoid this, we recommend going one size up if you're unsure. Our most popular sizes are 4 m³ for bathroom and kitchen renos, and 6 m³ for larger garden or whole-room jobs.

Loads must not exceed the rim of the bin for safety. Overfilled bins may need repacking or incur extra charges. When in doubt, choose the next bin size up.

Yes, you need a permit from your local council if the bin sits on the street or council verge. Each Adelaide council has its own process — Charles Sturt, West Torrens, Port Adelaide Enfield, Unley and others all issue permits. No permit is needed if the bin sits on your own driveway or property. We can guide you through your council's process when you book.
