Compare live prices from local Melbourne suppliers, from the inner suburbs to the east, north, west and the growth corridors. One postcode, real quotes, no ringing around.
Pick your size by the job at hand. The table shows what each bin holds and the current Melbourne price.
| Bin size | Typical job & waste type | From (incl. GST) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 m³ | One room of a flat emptied, or a small courtyard cleared. | From $304.07 |
| 2 m³ | A bathroom strip, or a terrace courtyard cleared. Heavy fill goes here: clay, soil, brick. | From $317.31 |
| 3 m³ | A single room emptied, or a front garden redone. | From $450.77 |
| 4 m³ | A period-home reno, or a big garage clear-out. General or heavy, keep the tonnage down. | From $547.93 |
| 6 m³ | A kitchen rebuild, or a whole back garden cleared. | From $768.14 |
| 8 m³ | A full-home clear-out or a build, heavy spoil aside. Bulky, low weight: timber, furniture, boxes. | From $887.63 |
A smaller load? Melbourne skip bags begin at $199.00 for 1 m³, delivery and collection in that price.
Figures assume a skip bin without a gate, general waste, seven days on site, incl. GST. Gated bins and concrete loads are priced apart. Victoria carries one of the country's steeper landfill levies, so what you load matters as much as which bin you pick. Enter your postcode for your street.

From heritage inner terraces to the fast-growing outer corridors, Melbourne covers a huge area, and prices move with it. Check your exact suburb for the figure.

It depends on where the bin goes. Metropolitan Melbourne is divided into 31 councils, and each requires a permit for a skip on the nature strip, footpath or road, with different fees and timelines. A bin fully on your own driveway usually needs none. Many inner suburbs also sit under heritage overlays, which shape how a renovation is staged.
Melbourne's waste largely moves through private transfer stations to landfill, and Victoria's levy is a big part of the price.
The Melbourne Regional Landfill, one of the city's largest, run by Cleanaway.
Cleanaway consolidation points that bundle waste for landfill.
About $170 a tonne on metro landfill, one of the steepest anywhere, baked into the gate fees.
Period-home renos, reactive-clay digs and booming growth corridors give Melbourne its own mix of skip jobs.
Melbourne prices by bin size are listed live in the table above, not fixed in this answer. Victoria has one of the highest landfill levies in the country, near $170 a tonne, so a heavy load tips a lot dearer than a light one of the same size. Enter your postcode to see your local figure.
Only for public land. Metro Melbourne is split into 31 councils, and each one wants a permit to place a skip on the nature strip, footpath or road, with fees that vary. A bin kept on your own driveway needs nothing. Check the council that covers your suburb.
Two things shape the work here. Much of the north and west sits on reactive clay, which is dense and heavy when it comes out of the ground, so excavation spoil adds up fast. And many inner suburbs sit under heritage overlays, where changes to the old terraces need a planning permit, so renos are carefully staged.
A lot of it moves through privately run transfer stations, Cleanaway operates sites at Brooklyn, Lysterfield and the south-east, and on to the Melbourne Regional Landfill at Ravenhall. The gate fees and Victoria's levy are folded into your quote.
Yes, but heavy material goes in the smaller bins because the levy is charged by weight. Melbourne's reactive clay is dense, and it holds water, so a 2m³ or 3m³ heavy-waste bin is the sensible call for soil and rubble. Flag it to your supplier.
Asbestos leads the list. Victorian householders can only move a small amount, double-wrapped and labelled, to an EPA-authorised landfill, so ring first. E-waste is banned from landfill statewide and heads to a drop-off, and gas bottles, paint and chemicals stay out too.
No, the bins aren't ours. Tipaload compares local Melbourne suppliers so you can weigh price, size and timing for your postcode, then book. A local operator handles delivery and pickup.
For a garage clear-out or a courtyard tidy in the inner suburbs, a 2m³ or 3m³ mini fits a tight terrace frontage and covers most of the load. A full house strip or a big landscaping job steps up to a 6m³ or larger. Because the levy is charged by weight, match the size to the job and keep dense clay or rubble in the smaller heavy-waste bins.
Enter your Melbourne postcode and Tipaload lists the suppliers with bins free near you, from the inner north and west through the south-east growth corridors. Skip hire in Melbourne moves fast on standard sizes, so a next-day or same-day drop is realistic if you book early. On narrow inner-suburb streets, sort access and any council permit first so the delivery runs smoothly.
