Skip Bins

Residents can contact Cleanaway Services on (08) 9449 3332 or order a skip bin online here.

Monday to Friday between 8:30am–5:00pm.

Capacity: 3m^{3 |} Length: 2.4m | Depth: 1.2m | Height: 1.0m
Please ensure that you measure the larger items to ensure they will fit (without going over the fill line). If you go above this line the truck will not be able to safely lift the skip bin. If this occurs you will be asked to remove the extra items from the skip bin within 24 hours.
If you can’t fit the items in the skip bin please call Cleanaway Services on (08) 9449 3332.

For safe and efficient services, skip bins will be placed on the verge next to your driveway, unless deemed unsafe. In certain circumstances alternate locations maybe approved by Cleanaway upon request.

Weekday skip bins are delivered Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and will remain on your property for two nights and one day. Weekend skip bins will be delivered Thursday or Friday and will remain on your property over the weekend and will be collected either Monday or Tuesday the following week.

Delivery of skip bins will be by 6pm on selected date. Collections of skip bins will be from 7am on collection date.

Yes. Cleanaway Services have the list of all larger properties and are able to arrange this directly with the resident. Properties that receive the extra allocations are for Green Waste bins only. One additional green waste skip bin is available for properties 2000m²–5000m² | Two additional green waste skip bins are available for properties over 5000m².

Delivery of skip bins will be by 6pm on selected date. Collections of skip bins will be from 7am on collection date.

Due to logistical constraints some skip bins may be delivered to your property containing waste. Please be assured all skip bins delivered containing waste will be emptied on the same day as delivery and will not impact on your time to fill the skip bin (all residents will receive 24 hours from having an empty and usable skip bin).

No. All households are entitled to three skips bins per financial year unless they meet the criteria specified in the skip bin information section for additional green waste skip bins. If your household does not use any or all of the quoted allocation it cannot be carried over to the following financial year.

If a skip bin is too heavy to lift, contains contamination or has materials above the safe fill line the skip bin will not be collected. All residents have an opportunity to remove prior contaminated waste before further action will be taken.

All skip bins have a clearly definable ‘top rail’. For health and safety reasons waste must not be filled above the top rail. In the event the skip bin is over filled, Cleanaway will leave a card in your letter box requesting the removal of excess items within 24 hours, so the skip bin can be safely removed.

Items that are no longer of any use can be broken down so they fit in the skip bin. However residents are encouraged to on-sell or reuse suitable items that may have ‘life left in them’. If you believe certain items may be of benefit to others, consider recycling them. For information refer to our recycling page.

Residents who do not have a verge, in most cases will still have access to the bulk bin service. If you have no suitable verge or location to place the bin, alternative drop off locations within your property boundary maybe considered by Cleanaway. This will be determined on a case by case basis.   

For residents who have previously engaged this service, the City has documented your previous drop-off locations. This information has been passed on to Cleanaway and skip bins will be placed in the same location.

In rare instances, due to geographical constraints it may not be possible to place a skip bin on your verge or property. As such, residents are entitled to a credit as highlighted in the fees and charges.

In some instances the skip bin may arrive full, however it will be emptied by the end of the working day. A full skip bin will not affect the duration you have the bin for. The City recommends any hired contractors are booked for the following day. 

Delivery of skip bins will be by 6pm on selected date. Collections of skip bins will be from 7am on collection date.
