| ABN | 31 643 501 991 |
| Effective date | 10 August 2026 |
| Version | 1.0 |
1. Scope of this Policy
This Policy applies to customer-requested changes and cancellations, non-delivery and refunds for skip-bin hire and related Services booked with Local Skip Bin Hire. It forms part of the Local Skip Bin Hire Customer Terms and Conditions. Capitalised terms have the meanings given in those Terms.
Nothing in this Policy excludes, restricts or modifies a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Australian Consumer Law.
2. How to cancel or change a Booking
Contact us as early as possible at info@localskipbinhire.com or 1300 778 978 and provide your order number. A cancellation or change is effective when received and acknowledged by Local Skip Bin Hire.
Requested changes are subject to availability. A change to the Site, date, bin size, Waste Type, Hire Period or access requirements may change the price or cause reasonable costs already incurred.
3. Customer cancellation charges
| When you cancel | Cancellation charge | Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Before the scheduled Delivery Date | 10% of the Booking price | 90% of the Booking price |
| On the scheduled Delivery Date | 100% of the Booking price | No change-of-mind refund |
| After delivery or commencement of Services | 100% of the Booking price | No change-of-mind refund |
These charges reflect administration and the vehicle, driver, Bin, scheduling and disposal capacity committed to the Booking. They apply to change-of-mind cancellation and do not limit rights arising from a service failure or another entitlement under law.
4. If we cannot provide the confirmed service
If Local Skip Bin Hire or the Fulfilment Provider cannot provide the confirmed service, we will offer a reasonable alternative or rescheduled service.
If you accept the alternative or rescheduled service, no refund is payable solely because the original date was not met.
If the alternative is materially different or no longer reasonably meets the disclosed purpose of the Booking and you do not accept it, we will provide a full refund of the amount paid for the unprovided service.
No cancellation or administration fee is deducted from a refund where we cannot provide the confirmed service and no reasonable alternative is accepted.
5. Delivery timing and non-delivery
A preferred AM/PM window or requested delivery time is not guaranteed unless expressly confirmed as guaranteed in writing. A delay within the confirmed delivery day is not, by itself, non-delivery.
If the Bin is not delivered on the confirmed date, contact us promptly. We will investigate and offer a reasonable remedy, replacement date or refund as required by this Policy, the Customer Terms and applicable law.
6. Booking and payment fees
A separately disclosed booking or payment fee is non-refundable where you cancel for change of mind. It will be refunded where we cannot provide the confirmed service and you do not accept a reasonable alternative, or where required by law. No fee applies unless it was clearly disclosed before payment.
7. Credit notes
Where you agree to receive a credit note instead of a refund:
the credit note is valid for six months from its issue date unless we agree otherwise in writing;
it is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash;
it may be used only for Services purchased from Local Skip Bin Hire; and
any unused balance expires after six months, except to the extent the law requires otherwise.
8. Processing approved refunds
Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method unless otherwise agreed or required by the payment provider. We will initiate the refund promptly. Please allow approximately 3 to 10 Business Days for your bank or payment provider to post it.
9. Problems with the service and consumer rights
If the delivered Bin or service is not what you booked, or there is a problem with delivery, collection or performance, contact Local Skip Bin Hire promptly so we can investigate and arrange an appropriate remedy.
Our Services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Depending on the circumstances, remedies may include correction, re-supply, cancellation, refund or compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. The customer cancellation charges in clause 3 do not apply where the law entitles you to a different remedy.
10. Additional Charges are separate
Charges for excess weight, overfilling, contamination, Prohibited Material, restricted access, failed collection, extended hire, special items or Bin damage are not cancellation fees. They may be charged separately where properly incurred under the Customer Terms and do not create an entitlement to refund the original Booking price.
