How much does a skip bin cost in my postcode?

A 2 m³ general-waste skip bin costs from $177 AUD to $858 AUD depending on the postcode, and a 12 m³ from $832 AUD to $1,939 AUD — measured on 2026-08-30 for a 2026-09-07 delivery, across the 228 postcodes priced at 2 m³ and the 264 priced at 12 m³ within a capture of 305 Australian postcodes. The table below gives 215 of those postcodes, at every size we could price, in dollars.

We could not find a published Australian price guide that gives a figure at postcode level. This page does.

The national picture, by size

Every median below carries n — the number of postcodes priced at that size on the day of capture. n changes from row to row because not every size is offered in every postcode.

Bin size Postcodes priced (n) Cheapest Typical (middle 50%) Median Dearest Median cost per m³
2 m³ 228 $177 $228–$376 $306 $858 $152.75
3 m³ 234 $233 $329–$429 $346 $916 $115.33
4 m³ 275 $329 $423–$553 $446 $799 $111.50
6 m³ 247 $446 $588–$700 $647 $1,117 $107.83
8 m³ 245 $717 $758–$997 $835 $1,487 $104.38
10 m³ 270 $775 $899–$1,095 $967 $1,895 $96.70
12 m³ 264 $832 $1,040–$1,312 $1,087 $1,939 $90.58

Source: demand-ladders.json — 305 Australian postcodes, captured 2026-08-30 for a 2026-09-07 delivery, live supplier-network quotes only. Medians are rounded to the nearest dollar for display; the 2 m³ median is $305.50 exactly, which is why its cost per m³ reads $152.75 and not $153.00.

Read the last column before you read anything else. The price of a bin is not the useful number; the price of a cubic metre is. On the median ladder a 2 m³ bin costs $152.75 per cubic metre and a 12 m³ costs $90.58 — the same rubbish, at 1.69 times the rate.

This is not the same measurement as our skip bin price index. That page reports our published price list — a mean of the lowest advertised catalogue price for each size across 826 metropolitan postcodes — where the national 4 m³ reads $534 (source dataset catalogue-stats.json, generated 2026-08-27; index read 2026-08-31). Those are list averages, not quotes. The $446 above is a median of live supplier-network quotes across the 275 postcodes priced at 4 m³ in our 305-postcode capture of 2026-08-30, metro and regional. Mean against median, published list price against live quote, 826 metro postcodes against 305 mixed — any one of those three would move the number on its own. The gap is a difference of method and population, not a price change, and neither figure supersedes the other. The index says as much itself: "A live quote for your own postcode is often lower." If you are quoting one, say which one.

Every priced postcode

215 of the 305 postcodes in the capture. The national table above is computed over all 305. This table lists the 215 that went through the per-cell provenance check described in the method note; the other 90 were captured later the same day, are included in the national medians, and are not published cell by cell. That is why the 4 m³ median above carries n = 275 while this table shows 189 individual 4 m³ prices.

A dash means that size was not available in that postcode on the day of capture, not that it is free or unlimited. The final column names the size with the lowest cost per cubic metre in that postcode — which is not always the biggest bin on offer. See Is a bigger skip bin cheaper per cubic metre?.

What this table does not tell you

  • It is one day's prices. Every figure was quoted on 2026-08-30 for a delivery on 2026-09-07. It is a snapshot, not a trend, and this page makes no claim about how prices have moved over time.
  • It is general household waste. Heavy waste — brick, tile, concrete, soil — is priced separately and is not in this table.
  • It does not include a council permit. If the bin goes on the road, footpath or nature strip, your council may charge a fee on top. See What does a skip bin permit cost in my council?.
  • It says nothing about hire length. Hire period is not a dimension of this dataset. We do not publish a 3-day versus 7-day comparison because we have not measured one.
  • It is not a census of Australia. The 305-postcode capture behind the national medians is 107 NSW, 96 VIC, 65 QLD, 34 WA and 3 SA postcodes. The 215-postcode table above it is 71 VIC, 55 QLD, 54 NSW, 33 WA and 2 SA. Neither contains a single Tasmanian, Northern Territory or ACT postcode.

Method. Prices are live quotes from the Local Skip Bin Hire booking engine — the same engine that prices a real booking on our website — captured on 2026-08-30 and quoted eight days forward for a 2026-09-07 delivery, general household waste, lowest available supplier price for each size in each postcode. Quotes the engine could not source from the live supplier network were excluded from the capture rather than backfilled from a catalogue, so every figure here is a price a customer could have been quoted on that day. Cost per m³ is the price divided by the nominal bin size, unrounded and unsmoothed. The national table is computed over all 305 postcodes in the capture; 163 of them are priced at all seven sizes and the rest at fewer, which is why n differs from size to size. The postcode table publishes 215 of those 305, and 98 of those 215 are priced at all seven sizes. Every price in it is a live supplier-network quote: 1,040 of its 1,186 cells (87.7%) were confirmed individually against a source-carrying /api/quote response, and the remaining 146 against a corroborated live ladder rather than a per-cell source field — the batch quote endpoint does not return one, which is why it was never used for the individual checks. Suburb names are the suburb each postcode is published under on this site.

Source file: demand-ladders.json, captured 2026-08-30 (file written 2026-08-30 21:53) for a 2026-09-07 delivery, general waste, source == "LIVE_NETWORK" enforced on every rung. Every figure on this page can be re-derived from that file and that date.

Not the same measurement as the price index. /pages/skip-bin-price-index reports our published price list — a mean of the lowest advertised catalogue price for each size across 826 metropolitan postcodes (source dataset catalogue-stats.json, generated 2026-08-27; index read 2026-08-31) — where a 4 m³ reads $534. Those are list averages, not quotes, and the index says so itself: "A live quote for your own postcode is often lower." This page publishes medians of live supplier-network quotes across 305 metro and regional postcodes captured 2026-08-30, where the 4 m³ median is $446 over n = 275. Two different methods over two different populations; they are not one series and must not be compared as though they were.
