Frequently asked questions

What are trailer bins or trailer skips?

Trailer bins are basically a skip bin alternative or skip bins on wheels, unlike standard skip bins they sit on wheels which makes them mobile. They’re delivered with a smaller vehicle which makes them accessible virtually anywhere. The down side is they have a weight limit of 1500 kilograms which makes them suitable for more domestic type household rubbish and not massive bulk construction waste – however we do regularly work with builders and renovators as-well-as demolition teams. 

Can I place brick, concrete and soil in the trailer bin?

yes, you can place a few (10 – 15) wheelbarrow loads of this type of waste, please note these items must be kept to a minimum.

Can you load the bin for me?

Yes, we can load the trailer bin for you – A fee of $55.00 per hour will be charged on top of the selected trailer bin hire. (Please note: minimum of 2 hours will be charged)

What can’t I put in the trailer skip?

Radioactive waste, asbestos, tyres, food waste, any animal (part or whole), toxic waste, paint tins, flammable liquids – please contact us for more information.

How many days can i keep the bin for?

Standard hire is 7 days for all our trailer bins (unless prior arrangement is made), if extra days are  needed a charge of $33 per day will be applied.

How can I pay for the bin hire?

We accept cash, cheque, direct transfer & credit card.

What is the safest way to load the skip bin?

The safest way to load our trailer skips is to keep the heavier items such as brick, concrete, soil and rubble on the base or the bottom of the trailer bin, keep these items over the wheels (centred) not too far to the rear and not too far to the front. If these basic rules are not followed the safety of our drivers will be compromised during transport as an unbalanced trailer is unstable.

What is a cubic metre?

A cubic meter is 1 meter in height, 1 meter in width and 1 meter in length or roughly 4 x 240 litre wheelie bins.

Can I leave the trailer bin on the road? 

Yes, all our trailer bins are registered like a normal vehicle and are allowed to be parked on NSW roads and streets without a council permit.

Can the trailer skip go in my garage?

Yes, our trailer skips will go in all garages some sheds.

What happens to the rubbish we throw out?

The trailer bins are taken to transfer stations where the rubbish will be sorted out and recycled when appropriate.

Can i move the trailer bin around my site?

Yes, however all care must be taken when performing this task. Please ask your delivery driver for expert advise on safe movement of the trailer skip bin.
