Hiring a Skip Bin in Delahey

We arrange skip bins across Delahey in every size available, from a 2m³ bin for a small clean-up to a 35m³ bin for a major clear-out or building job. Tell us what you're getting rid of and where the bin can go, and we'll recommend the right size and type.

Brimbank Bin Hire arranges the hire, and your bin is delivered and collected by our partner, a bin hire operator based in Brooklyn with over 30 years' experience handling domestic, commercial and building waste in Melbourne's west. Every bin goes back to the operator's Brooklyn depot, where it's sorted so as much as possible can be recycled.

From 2m³ to 35m³: what Delahey customers hire

Our recent Delahey bookings cover the full range. Small 2m³ bins suit a single room, a garden bed or a load of heavy material like soil or broken concrete. The 6m³ bin is a common middle choice for a kitchen or bathroom strip-out or a garage clean-out. At the top end, 25m³ and 35m³ bins handle whole-house clear-outs and large volumes of light, bulky waste.

The most common mistake is sizing the bin by volume alone. Heavy materials such as soil, bricks, tiles and concrete hit the weight limit well before the bin looks full, so they need a smaller, dedicated heavy waste bin. Our guide on what size skip bin you need walks through it, and mistakes to avoid when hiring a skip bin covers the other common traps.

Marrel bins or hook lift bins?

There are two types of bin. Marrel bins, from 2m³ to 12m³, are lifted on and off the truck by its arms and are the usual choice for home jobs. Hook lift bins, from 6m³ to 35m³, are rolled on and off the back of the truck, which makes them the only option for the biggest sizes. You can see both on the Skip Bin Trucks page.

Because a hook lift bin is rolled off the truck, it needs a longer, clear stretch of driveway or yard. If you're planning a 15m³ bin or larger, tell us how long your driveway is and whether anything overhangs it.

Delivering to courts and closes

Many of our Delahey deliveries are to courts and closes, where turning space is limited and parked cars can block the approach. Let us know when you book if you're on a court, and try to keep the driveway and the kerb in front of it clear on delivery and pickup days. Our article on where to place your skip bin covers what to check beforehand, and protecting your driveway explains how to avoid marks on concrete or pavers.

Do you need a permit in Delahey?

Delahey is entirely within the City of Brimbank. If the bin sits on your property, you don't need a permit. If it has to go on the nature strip or the road, Brimbank requires one. The operator applies for it on your behalf and renews it if you need the bin for longer, and the fee is included in your quote.

Getting the most out of your bin

A well-packed bin holds a lot more than a hastily loaded one, especially in the larger sizes. Break down furniture, flatten boxes and put heavy items in first.
