What fits in a 2m³ skip bin?
A 2m³ skip bin holds roughly the equivalent of 8 standard wheelie bins of waste. It's one of our mini-class bins and is a popular choice for the jobs below. Capacity is a guide only — the load must sit level with the fill line and stay within the bin's included weight.
Best for
Ideal jobs
A 2m³ skip is well suited to small single-room clean-ups, garden tidy-ups, a small bathroom strip-out or decluttering one room.
How much it holds
About 8 wheelie bins, or the contents of a small clean-up or renovation.
Waste types
General and mixed waste, green waste, and heavy waste within the weight limit. Book the waste type that matches your load.
What's included
Delivery, pickup, GST and removal of all accepted waste within the fill line, weight and hire rules — shown in the price before you book.
Not ideal for
A 2m³ skip is generally not the right choice for whole-house clean-outs or large renovation jobs. This size can take heavier loads such as soil, brick or concrete within its weight limit — book it as a heavy-waste bin so the correct weight allowance applies.
Heavy vs light waste in a 2m³ bin
Because it is a compact bin, a 2m³ skip can carry heavier loads such as soil, brick or concrete — but always book it as a heavy-waste bin so the correct weight allowance and pricing apply. Prohibited items such as asbestos, chemicals, gas bottles, paints and batteries are never accepted in any bin. See the waste categories guide.
