Learn more about our story and mission
“Most waste companies just dump everything in landfill. We don’t. Every skip that comes back to us gets hand-sorted by our team, and it’s amazing what we can divert from landfill when we take the time to do it properly.” – Resource Recovery Devonport Trust
Areas We Deliver Skip Bins To
We service Beach Haven and all surrounding North Shore areas. Our central Devonport location means quick delivery times whether you’re in the heart of Beach Haven or the surrounding suburbs. You can find the full list of areas we service on our main skip bins page.
We also provide skip bin services to nearby areas like Birkdale and Glenfield. Your driveway needs to be at least 2.5 metres wide for our delivery truck to access.
“We’ve been operating from this same location since 1977, so we know the North Shore roads like the back of our hand. That local knowledge helps us give you accurate delivery times and navigate even the trickiest Beach Haven streets.” – Resource Recovery Devonport Trust
Common Questions
How long can I keep the skip bin?
You can hire our skip bins for a minimum of 3 days, and we’re happy to extend that if your project takes longer. Just give us a call if you need extra time.
What happens if I put too much weight in the skip?
We charge $20.00 including GST for every 100kg over the weight limit. Each skip size has different weight limits, and we’ll let you know what yours is when you book.
Do you really hand-sort everything that comes in?
Yes, we do. Our team manually sorts through the contents of every skip to pull out materials that can be recycled, reused, or processed into landscape supplies. It’s labour-intensive, but it’s how we achieve our 78% landfill diversion rate.
Can I mix different types of waste in one skip?
Absolutely. Because we hand-sort everything anyway, you can mix general waste, construction materials, and recyclables in the same skip. Just make sure nothing hazardous goes in there.
