The Right Bin for Every Job

The right skip bin size depends on the type and amount of waste you are disposing of. Small 2m³ bins are ideal for garage clean-outs, garden waste, or minor home decluttering. Medium bins like our 4m³ to 6m³ options are perfect for renovations such as bathroom or kitchen makeovers. For construction, demolition, or larger commercial projects, our 10m³ or 15m³ bins offer plenty of space for heavy materials. If you are unsure which size to choose, contact our friendly team and we’ll help you select the best option for your needs.

Each skip bin has a maximum weight limit based on its size. For example, a 2m³ bin holds up to 1 tonne, while a 4m³ bin can take up to 3 tonnes. For safe collection and transport compliance, bins must not be filled above the rim. When booking online, the maximum allowable tonnage for each bin is clearly displayed, making it easy to choose the right option. If you’re disposing of heavier materials such as bricks, soil, or concrete, we recommend selecting a larger bin or contacting our team for guidance. Overfilled or overweight bins may incur additional charges.

Our skip bins are suitable for most general waste types including household rubbish, furniture, timber, metal, green waste, and light construction debris. However, certain hazardous materials cannot be placed in our bins, including asbestos, chemicals, gas bottles, paint, and batteries. If you are unsure about what you can or cannot include, please check with our team before booking. We can provide guidance or help you organise specialised disposal options to ensure your waste is handled safely and responsibly.

Our standard hire period is minimum 7 days. We understand that every job is different, so if you need extra time, you can easily extend your hire period.

A council permit is only required if the skip bin needs to be placed on public property such as a street, footpath, or nature strip. If you are placing the bin on private land, like a driveway or backyard, no permit is needed. At Cobra Waste, we can assist you with council applications if your site requires it, ensuring your bin is positioned legally and safely. Our team regularly works with Sydney councils, so we can make the process simple and stress-free for you.
