Match the bin to the job, not the pile. The table lists what each holds and what it costs in Geelong.
| Bin size | Typical job & waste type | From (incl. GST) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 m³ | A small shed emptied, or one room taken back to bare floor. | From $388.11 |
| 2 m³ | A bathroom strip-out, or a small garden cleared out. Best for heavy loads: soil, brick, concrete. | From $401.35 |
| 3 m³ | A room cleared to the floor, or a decent garden tidy. | From $440.33 |
| 4 m³ | A small reno, a deck demo, or a big whole-house declutter. General or heavy waste, and the cap arrives sooner than expected. | From $519.39 |
| 6 m³ | A kitchen or full-room renovation, or a whole garden. | From $728.66 |
| 8 m³ | A full house clear-out or a build, minus the heavy rubble. Light, bulky waste: timber, furniture, packaging. | From $885.98 |
Something smaller? Geelong skip bags start at $199.00 for 1 m³, with delivery and collection built in.
Prices are for a skip bin without a gate, general waste, seven days on site, incl. GST. Gated bins and concrete are quoted separately. Geelong pays Victoria's metropolitan levy rather than the country rate, about $170 a tonne, so weight counts here more than most expect. Your postcode returns the live figure.

On your own property, no. On the nature strip, footpath, road or a laneway, yes, under the City of Greater Geelong's local law. In practice the skip company arranges the permit, so it's rarely something you chase yourself. Check with your supplier before the bin turns up.
Geelong runs its own tips, and one detail shapes the price: the city is charged Victoria's higher metropolitan levy, the same as Melbourne.
The main landfill and public recovery centre, on Becks Road, Drysdale.
An interim recovery centre serving the northern suburbs.
The state lists Geelong at the higher metro landfill rate, the same as Melbourne, not the country rate.
Rapid growth, an industrial north and the coast give Geelong its own mix of skip jobs.
The size table above shows the live figure for each bin around Greater Geelong. Here's the reason most people miss: Geelong is charged Victoria's metropolitan landfill levy, about $170 a tonne, the same rate as Melbourne rather than the cheaper country rate. So weight really counts. Your postcode gives the live figure.

Yes, and it surprises people. Even though Geelong is a regional city, the state lists it under the higher metropolitan levy, so tipping costs sit at the same rate as Melbourne, not the lower country rate. That's the single biggest reason a heavy load costs what it does here.
Geelong runs its own sites. The Drysdale Landfill and Resource Recovery Centre on Becks Road takes the bulk of it, with an interim recovery centre up in North Geelong. Those gate fees and the state levy are built into your quote.
Yes, but heavy material goes in the smaller bins, and with the metro levy that matters here. Soil, brick and concrete are dense, so a 2m³ or 3m³ heavy-waste bin beats overloading a big one. Tell your supplier what you're loading and they'll match it.
Asbestos never goes in a general or open skip. In Victoria a householder can only move a small amount, double-wrapped and labelled, to an EPA-authorised landfill, so call ahead. E-waste is banned from Victorian landfill and goes to a drop-off, and gas bottles, paint and chemicals stay out too.
