Planning a renovation in Forrest Hill? We know how quickly demo waste can pile up when you’re updating your kitchen, bathroom, or tackling that deck project. Our yellow skip bins make waste removal simple, so you can focus on the transformation. I’ve been working with local renovators for years, and the relief on your face when that skip arrives is always the same, we get it. Find out what can go in your skip bin here.
Skip Bin Sizes Available
We stock four skip bin sizes to match your Forrest Hill renovation project. From small bathroom updates to major home extensions, choosing the right size saves you money and hassle. Our 3m³ skip (1.6W x 0.6H x 3.3L) handles most bathroom renovations, while the 4.5m³ skip (1.6W x 0.9H x 3.3L) suits kitchen makeovers. Need something bigger? The 6m³ skip (1.5W x 1.3H x 3.7L) works perfectly for deck replacements, and our largest 9m³ skip (1.6W x 1.8H x 3.7L) tackles whole-house renovations.

Common Questions
How wide does my Forrest Hill driveway need to be?
Your driveway needs to be at least 2.5 metres wide for our delivery truck. Many Forrest Hill properties have narrower driveways, so we can often place the skip on the street with temporary traffic management if needed.
What happens if I exceed the weight limit?
We charge $20.00 including GST per 100kgs over the weight limit. Renovation waste like tiles and concrete can be surprisingly heavy, so we’ll advise you on weight-conscious loading when we deliver your skip.
Can I keep the skip bin for longer than three days?
Absolutely. Our standard hire period is three days minimum, but many Forrest Hill renovation projects need skips for a week or more. We charge daily rates for extended hire periods.
Do you really hand-sort all the waste?
Yes, every skip bin gets hand-sorted at our Devonport facility. We separate timber, metal, concrete, and other materials for recycling or reuse. It’s more work for us, but it means 78% of your renovation waste stays out of landfill.
