Compare live prices from local Canberra suppliers, from Braddon and the inner north through the city and Parliamentary Triangle to Kingston, Manuka and the inner south. One postcode, honest prices, sorted online.
Pick by the job rather than the heap. The table shows what fits and what the Canberra price is today.
| Bin size | Typical job & waste type | From (incl. GST) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 m³ | A single room cleared, or a Braddon apartment declutter. | From $307.89 |
| 2 m³ | A bathroom strip-out, or a Yarralumla garden tidy. Best for heavy loads: soil, brick, tile. | From $321.13 |
| 3 m³ | A Reid or Ainslie cottage room taken back to bare walls, or a decent garden clean-up. | From $368.68 |
| 4 m³ | A small heritage-cottage reno, or a whole-apartment declutter. General or heavy waste. | From $436.98 |
| 6 m³ | A kitchen renovation, or a Manuka or Kingston café fit-out clear-out. | From $580.53 |
| 8 m³ | A full-home renovation or office strip-out, with the heavy rubble left out. | From $765.64 |
A small job only? Canberra skip bags open from $199.00 for 1 m³, drop-off and pick-up covered.
Each figure is a skip bin with no gate, general waste, a 7-day hire, incl. GST. A gate or a heavy load prices above it. The ACT charges heavy waste by weight, so a soil or rubble load costs more than the same bin of light household waste. Punch in a postcode for the figure on your street.

Inner Canberra runs from the older garden-city suburbs north of the lake to the embassy district and commercial strips south of it, so it pays to price your exact suburb.

Canberra City, Acton, Parkes, Yarralumla
Kingston, Manuka, Griffith, Barton, Narrabundah, Deakin, Forrest
Short answer: on your own block, no. On the verge, footpath or road, yes, and that's one territory process through Access Canberra and Transport Canberra and City Services. The ACT has no local councils, so a Braddon apartment job and a Deakin renovation follow the same rules. The catch in inner Canberra is access — older cottage blocks and apartment driveways can be tight, so flag it when you book.
Inner-Canberra loads mostly head to the territory's southern resource centre, with the levy and gate fees built into your price.
The territory's main southern site at Symonston, just past the Parliamentary Triangle.
The northern site, used for some inner-north loads depending on your supplier.
On-site facilities for paint, gas bottles, batteries and other problem waste.
A planned city with a heritage core, a lake, and a working commercial strip either side of it shapes what fills a skip here.
The table above carries the live figure for inner Canberra. Weight drives the bill more than bin size, since a load of soil, brick or tile from an Ainslie or Reid cottage renovation tips heavier than the same bin of household waste from a Braddon apartment clear-out. Your postcode pulls the current number.
On your own driveway or block, no. On the verge, footpath or road, yes, and in Canberra that's simpler than most capitals: the ACT has no local councils, so one territory process through Access Canberra and Transport Canberra and City Services covers Braddon, Kingston and every inner suburb the same way.
Mugga Lane Resource Management Centre in Symonston, just south of the Parliamentary Triangle, takes most inner-Canberra loads. Recoverable material gets pulled out before the rest goes to landfill, and green waste is kept apart for composting.
Often, though inner Canberra's older blocks and apartment complexes can mean tight access or a shared driveway. Flag it when you book and your supplier will size the bin and plan the drop-off around the space.
Asbestos tops the list, worth knowing given how many inner-north and inner-south homes date to the 1920s-40s garden-city era. It needs a licensed removalist, not a general skip. Paint, gas bottles, chemicals, batteries and tyres are kept out too, each with its own drop-off point.
A lot of it is heritage-cottage renovation waste from Ainslie, Reid and Campbell, apartment declutters around Braddon and the city, and office or café fit-out waste from Manuka and Kingston's commercial strips. Embassy-district garden clean-ups around Yarralumla and Deakin add to it, especially after autumn leaf fall.
