What goes in a mixed heavy waste skip bin?
Mixed heavy waste combines general rubbish with a proportion of heavy fill such as soil, brick or concrete. Booking the correct waste type means the bin and the price match what you are actually putting in it. Displayed prices include delivery, pickup, GST and accepted waste removal within the bin's conditions.
Accepted materials
- Soil, dirt and sand
- Bricks, pavers and concrete
- Tiles and rubble
- General renovation and demolition waste
- Timber and mixed site waste
Not accepted — prohibited items
Never accepted (no exceptions). These hazardous items are prohibited in every skip bin:
- Asbestos, fibro and fibreglass
- Chemicals, liquids, oils and fuels
- Gas bottles and aerosols
- Paints and solvents
- Batteries
- Clinical or medical waste
Do not place these in the bin. If prohibited items are found after collection, contamination and disposal fees will be charged and the load may be rejected.
Not suitable for this waste type. Because heavy fill is dense, these bins are weight-limited — smaller sizes are the norm even though volume looks small. Asbestos, fibro and other hazardous items are never accepted.
Special items — surcharge applies
These items are accepted but attract a surcharge because they cost more to process. They are confirmed before checkout — they are not prohibited, just priced separately:
- Carpet and underlay
- Mattresses
Recommended sizes
A 4m³–8m³ heavy-waste skip suits mixed heavy loads — what you may put in it, not the volume, is what matters. See the skip sizes guide to match a size to your job.
