Bin sizes & prices

Which skip bin do you need in Perth?

The size you need comes down to the job, not the pile. The table shows what each bin swallows and what it costs in Perth.

Bin sizeTypical job & waste typeFrom (incl. GST)
1 m³A spare room cleared, or the back verge tidied up.From $343.69
2 m³A bathroom strip-out, a garage clear-out, or about eight wheelbarrow loads. Best for heavy waste: soil, sand, brick, concrete.From $356.93
3 m³A solid garden tidy, or a single room taken back to the floor.From $432.83
4 m³A small renovation, a deck demo, or a big whole-house declutter. General or heavy waste, check the heavy-waste cap.From $496.83
6 m³A kitchen or full-room renovation, or a whole-garden overhaul.From $691.49
8 m³A full home clear-out or a build, minus the heavy rubble. Light, bulky waste: furniture, timber, packaging.From $865.27

Too little for a skip? Perth skip bags start at $199.00 for 1 m³, with delivery and collection covered.

Each figure covers a skip bin without a gate, general waste, seven days, incl. GST. Gated bins and heavy waste are quoted separately. Sand and limestone spoil is far denser than a household clear-out, and because WA charges by the tonne, that gap shows in the price. Enter a postcode for your address.

Council & permits

Do you need a council permit in Perth?

Here's the short version. On your own land, no permit. On the verge, footpath or road, yes. Greater Perth is carved into about 30 councils, so the exact rule follows your suburb. The City of Perth calls it an Obstruction Permit and asks for around five business days plus public-liability cover. If you're stuck, your supplier handles these every week and can point you the right way.

Where it goes

Where your Perth load ends up

The metro's waste is split across three regional networks, and the tip fees plus WA's per-tonne levy are baked into what you pay.

Tamala Park (north)

On Marmion Avenue, run by the Mindarie councils. Takes household asbestos free on set days.

Red Hill (east & hills)

One of WA's largest sites, run by the Eastern Metropolitan councils.

Canning Vale & Henderson (south)

The southern recovery centre plus Cockburn's Henderson park.

What locals clear out

What Perth clears out

Big blocks, backyard pools and a building boom give Perth its own mix of skip jobs.

Pool digs and landscaping, where sandy limestone spoil piles up fast
Renovations on the big established quarter-acre blocks
New-build waste out in Baldivis, Alkimos, Yanchep and Ellenbrook
Summer garden blitzes and verge clean-ups
End-of-lease clear-outs and rental turnovers
Deceased estates and whole-house declutters
Keep these out

What can't go in the skip

Asbestos. Out of the general skip, always. In WA you can DIY up to 10 square metres of bonded sheet, double-wrapped and labelled, to a licensed site. Bigger jobs need a licensed removalist.
Gas bottles, paint and chemicals. Pressurised or liquid waste goes to a hazardous-waste drop-off, never the bin.
Batteries and e-waste. Electronics and batteries have their own recycling channel.
Tyres and mattresses. Taken by most suppliers, but they carry a separate fee.

Perth skip bin questions

How much does a skip bin cost in Perth?

Current Perth prices for each bin size sit in the table on this page, read live from the booking system. Weight is the real lever on price. WA charges a landfill levy on every tonne, so a bin of wet sand or broken brick costs more than the same bin of light household clutter. Put your postcode in and you'll see the live figure for your street, not a rough guess.

Do I need a council permit to put a skip on the verge?

Only if it sits on public land. Keep the bin on your own driveway or block and there's no permit. Put it on the verge, footpath or road and you'll need council approval. Greater Perth is carved into about 30 councils, so the rule follows your suburb. In the City of Perth it's an Obstruction Permit that takes about five business days, so plan ahead. Your supplier can tell you what your council wants.

Where does Perth's skip waste actually go?

It comes down to which side of the river you're on. Loads from the north head to Tamala Park on Marmion Avenue, run by the Mindarie councils. The eastern suburbs and hills feed Red Hill, one of the state's biggest sites. Down south it's the Canning Vale recovery centre and Henderson in Cockburn. Suppliers build those tip fees and the WA levy into the price, which is why a heavy load lands higher.

Can I fill a skip with sand, soil or concrete?

Yes, but heavy material goes in the smaller bins, not the big ones. Most of Perth sits on the sandy Swan Coastal Plain, and sand gets heavy the moment it's wet, so a 2m³ or 3m³ heavy-waste bin is the right call for soil, pavers or rubble. Tell your supplier what you're loading and they'll match the bin to the weight.

What can't I put in a skip in Perth?

Asbestos is the big one. In WA you can only remove up to 10 square metres of bonded asbestos yourself, double-wrapped in thick plastic and labelled, then dropped at a licensed site. Tamala Park takes household asbestos free on set days. Gas bottles, paint, chemicals, batteries and e-waste stay out of the skip too and go to a hazardous-waste drop-off.

How fast can a skip turn up?

Same-day drop-off happens across a lot of Perth if you book early and the truck can reach the spot. Access counts for more here than people expect. Narrow beach-suburb streets and steep hills blocks can decide where a bin actually sits, so mention tight access when you book. Enter your postcode to see today's options near you.

Is Tipaload the company dropping off the bin?

No. Tipaload is the marketplace, not the truck. We line up local Perth suppliers side by side so you can weigh price, size and availability for your postcode, then book the one that fits. The bin arrives from a local operator, not from us.
