Bin sizes & prices

Which skip bin do you need in Brisbane?

The job decides the size, not the heap. The table sets out what each bin takes and today's Brisbane price.

Bin sizeTypical job & waste typeFrom (incl. GST)
1 m³A single room emptied, or the last of a small tidy-up.From $408.51
2 m³A bathroom gutted, or a small courtyard cleared. The spot for heavy fill: soil, concrete, brick.From $421.75
3 m³A single room emptied, or a good garden blitz.From $492.96
4 m³A Queenslander deck demo, or a big declutter. General or heavy, watch the tonne cap.From $565.16
6 m³A kitchen renovation, or a storm-season garden clean.From $831.20
8 m³A whole-house clear-out or a build-under fit-out. Bulky and light: timber, furniture, cardboard.From $968.51

Not a full bin? Brisbane skip bags open at $199.00 for 1 m³, with drop-off and pick-up covered.

Each figure assumes a skip bin without a gate, general waste, a 7-day hire, incl. GST. Gated bins and concrete loads are priced separately. A Queenslander strip-out sends timber one way and stumps another, and the levy per tonne is what separates them. Enter a postcode for your street.

Council & permits

Do you need a permit in Brisbane?

Most of the city sits under a single council, Brisbane City Council, which keeps the rules consistent. On your own driveway, no permit. On the footpath, kerb or nature strip, you'll need council approval. If you're just over the line in Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay or Redland, those are separate councils with their own rules, so check which one you're in.

Where it goes

Where your Brisbane load ends up

The council runs four recovery centres, and their gate fees plus Queensland's $105-a-tonne levy are built into what you pay.

Willawong & Nudgee

The two major council resource recovery centres, south and north.

Chandler & Ferny Grove

The council's smaller recovery centres for general and green waste.

Rochedale landfill

The licensed site for asbestos, which the recovery centres won't accept.

What locals clear out

What Brisbane clears out

Timber housing, subtropical gardens and storm season give Brisbane its own mix of skip jobs.

Renovations, build-unders and deck work on the timber Queenslanders
Subtropical green-waste clean-ups, heaviest through the November-to-April storms
Flood and storm recovery in the low-lying riverside suburbs
End-of-lease and rental turnovers across the inner suburbs
Trade and construction waste on Brisbane building sites
Whole-house declutters and estate clean-outs
Keep these out

What can't go in the skip

Asbestos. Out of the general skip, and the recovery centres won't take it. Double-wrap it, label it, and take it to a licensed site like Rochedale, or use a lined asbestos skip.
Soil, mulch and turf (fire ant zone). Brisbane is in the SE-QLD fire ant zone, which restricts moving these, and suppliers handle them under the rules.
Gas bottles, paint and chemicals. Pressurised or liquid waste goes to a hazardous-waste point, not the bin.
Batteries and e-waste. Batteries and electronics belong at an e-waste drop-off, kept out of the skip.
Good to know

Brisbane skip bin questions

How much is skip bin hire in Brisbane?

Current Brisbane prices sit in the size table on this page, pulled live rather than set by a rate card. Because Queensland's landfill levy runs $105 a tonne, the weight of your load matters as much as the bin size. A skip of broken concrete tips dearer than one of light household junk. Enter your Brisbane postcode to see the real figure.

Does a Brisbane skip need council approval?

Most of the city is one council, Brisbane City Council, which keeps the rules the same across the suburbs. Keep the bin on your own driveway and no permit. Put it on the footpath, kerb or road and you'll need approval. Just outside the boundary, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and Redland run their own rules.

Where does Brisbane's skip waste go?

Brisbane City Council runs four resource recovery centres, at Willawong, Nudgee, Chandler and Ferny Grove, where general and green waste is sorted. Asbestos isn't taken there and has to go to a licensed site like the Rochedale landfill. The tip fees and the state levy sit inside your quote.

What do Brisbane locals hire skips for?

The city's timber Queenslanders mean a lot of renovation, build-under and deck work. The subtropical climate drives heavy green-waste clean-ups, heaviest through the November-to-April storm season, and skips are a fixture of flood and storm recovery in the low-lying riverside suburbs.

Can I put soil or garden waste in a Brisbane skip?

Yes, but most of Brisbane sits inside the South East Queensland fire ant zone, which restricts moving soil, mulch, turf and potted plants. Reputable suppliers deal with those under the rules. Heavy fill belongs in the smaller heavy-waste bins in any case.

Which items are banned from a Brisbane skip?

Asbestos is the big one, and the council recovery centres won't take it. Double-wrap it, label it, and take it to a licensed site such as Rochedale, or book a lined asbestos skip. Gas bottles, paint, chemicals, batteries and electronics all go to a separate drop-off.

Is Tipaload a Brisbane skip supplier?

No, we don't own any bins. Tipaload sets local Brisbane suppliers side by side so you can compare price, size and availability for your postcode, then book. The skip comes from a local operator.

How soon can I get a skip bin in Brisbane?

Enter your Brisbane postcode and Tipaload shows the suppliers holding bins near you, across the inner city, the northside and southside out to Ipswich and Logan. Standard sizes move fast here, so a next-day or same-day drop is on the cards when you book in the morning. On tight inner-city streets, settle access and any council approval first.

What size skip bin suits a Brisbane job?

A courtyard tidy or a single-room declutter fits a 2m³ or 3m³ mini, which also tucks onto a narrow Queenslander frontage. A full renovation or a big storm-season green-waste clear-out steps up to a 6m³ or larger. Since the levy is billed by weight, keep soil and rubble in the smaller heavy-waste bins.
