Cost Of Hiring A Skip Bin
We believe in complete pricing transparency, no hidden costs or surprises. When you engage with us at Brimbank Bin Hire, the total cost of hiring a skip is influenced by a number of key factors. Below you’ll find how we determine the price, so you can understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Bin size and contents
The volume of the bin and the type of material you intend to place inside are primary considerations. Larger bins naturally carry a higher hire cost, as does heavier or more difficult waste. For instance, general household clean-ups will cost less than high-density concrete or demolition rubble. When you tell us the bin size you need, from small residential loads to large commercial clearances, and describe the type of material, we can give you an accurate quote.Special materials requiring extra fees
Certain items entail additional handling, disposal or regulatory costs. For example: tyres, mattresses, chemical drums or large items of industrial equipment may be charged a premium. Asbestos can't go in our skip bins at all. When you let us know in advance about any such materials, we’ll include appropriate surcharges in your quote so you’re not caught out.Council permits if placed outside your property
If the skip is to be placed on public land, such as a footpath, nature strip or street, you may need a council permit. This permit incurs an additional cost, and the rules and permit fees vary across local government areas. We can check the requirements for your specific location and advise you of any expected permit fees ahead of time. That way your quote remains as accurate and transparent as possible.
When you contact us, let us know:
- The size of skip you think you need.
- A description of the material you expect to fill it with.
- The delivery address including any access constraints.
- Whether placement on the street or a nature strip is required.
Once we have that information, we’ll provide you with a fixed quote which you can accept, confident that the price we quoted is the price you pay.

Through our partner operator we offer a large range of bin sizes and trucks to meet your requirements in Brimbank and Melbourne’s north-western suburbs. There are no hidden costs: the price we quote using the information you provide is what you pay. Transparency in our pricing ensures our customers return to us for the next skip they need. The waste collected from your site goes to the operator’s depot in Brooklyn, where it is sorted and as much as possible is recycled.
The operator delivers the skip bin to your residence, commercial or industrial premises. Once the bins are picked up, they are covered and brought back on the operator’s trucks to their depot. The contents are assessed, and as much material as possible, such as green waste, aluminium, concrete and bricks, is recycled rather than sent directly to landfill. The operator can also deliver construction material and garden products like sand, mulch, clean fill or crushed rocks to your site in their bins.
Truckloads of asbestos-ridden soil and building material are being dumped at an increasing rate on roadsides, private property and parks in Melbourne’s western suburbs. Please book your next skip bin from a reputable supplier.
What Can You Put in Our Skip Bins?
Tell us the type of waste when you request a quote, because it affects both the bin size we recommend and the price. These are the waste types we quote for:
General and mixed waste
Household clean-outs, renovation debris, furniture and general rubbish. Mixed loads are bulky rather than heavy, so a larger bin is usually better value.Green waste
Branches, hedge clippings, lawn and garden waste. Keeping green waste separate means it can be recycled rather than sent to landfill.Soil and concrete
Heavy materials such as soil, concrete, bricks and rubble reach the weight limit long before the bin looks full, so they need a smaller dedicated bin.Tyres and mattresses
These need special handling and may attract an extra fee, so let us know in advance and we'll include it in your quote.
Some materials, such as asbestos, chemicals and gas bottles, can't go in a skip bin at all. See our guide on what can and can't go in a skip bin for the full list, or what size skip bin you need for help choosing.
