Compare live prices from local suppliers across the Sunshine Coast, Darling Downs, and North and Central Queensland. Looking for Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich or the Gold Coast? Each has its own dedicated page with city pricing.
Pick by the job rather than the heap. The table shows what fits and what the wider-Queensland price is today.
| Bin size | Typical job & waste type | From (incl. GST) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 m³ | A single room cleared, or a small unit declutter. | From $529.74 |
| 2 m³ | A bathroom strip-out, or a small garden tidy. Best for heavy loads: soil, brick, tile. | From $542.98 |
| 3 m³ | A room taken back to bare walls, or a decent garden clean-up. | From $617.42 |
| 4 m³ | A small reno, or a whole-house declutter. | From $655.15 |
| 6 m³ | A kitchen renovation, or a full garden overhaul. | From $910.55 |
| 8 m³ | A full-home clear-out or a build, with the heavy rubble left out. | From $1291.48 |
A small job only? Queensland 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, for a Sunshine Coast reference postcode. Queensland's waste levy (around $105/tonne in the levy zone) means weight drives the price harder than bin size alone, and regional jobs add travel distance on top. Punch in a postcode for the figure on your street.

Queensland stretches a long way up the coast, and prices shift between the south-east's built-up areas and the regional and tropical centres further north, so it pays to price your exact town.

Short answer: on your own driveway, no. On the verge, footpath or road, yes, and Queensland has plenty of councils — Sunshine Coast Council, Toowoomba Regional Council, Cairns Regional Council and more each run their own process and fee, unlike Brisbane's single-council city. Check with the council covering your town before booking a public-land placement.
Coverage thins out the further north and inland you go, with the state levy and travel distance both built into your price.
Sunshine Coast and Darling Downs loads run through council-operated recovery centres and private transfer stations.
North and Central Queensland towns are served by local licensed sites, with distance affecting turnaround.
Paint, gas bottles, batteries and other problem waste go to a local drop-off, not the skip.
Coastal tourist towns, agricultural centres and tropical regional hubs shape what fills a skip here.
There's no single Queensland price. It moves with your suburb, the bin size, the waste type, the hire length and supplier availability. Weight counts too: the Queensland waste levy sits around $105 a tonne in the levy zone and climbs each year, so a heavy load of soil or rubble costs more than light household waste. Enter your postcode to see the live number.
Only for public land. Keep the bin on your own driveway and no permit is needed. Put it on the footpath, nature strip or road and the local council wants approval, and Queensland has plenty of them, from Brisbane City Council to Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Cairns and Townsville, each with its own fee. Check the council covering your suburb.
Brisbane City Council is the largest local council in Australia, so one set of rules covers the whole city, unlike Sydney or Melbourne where dozens of councils meet. Cross the boundary into Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay or Redland and each runs its own permit and waste rules.
It comes down to where you are. Around the south-east, loads move through council resource recovery centres and private transfer stations before landfill, with the state levy folded into the gate fee. Across regional and tropical Queensland the network is thinner, so travel to the nearest facility can lift the price.
Yes, with two catches. Heavy fill like soil, brick and concrete goes in the smaller bins because it is charged by weight. And most of south-east Queensland sits inside the fire ant biosecurity zone, which restricts moving soil, mulch and turf, so a reputable supplier handles those loads under the rules.
Asbestos is the one that catches people out, and it needs a licensed removalist rather than a general skip. Gas bottles, tyres, paint, chemicals, batteries and hazardous materials stay out too, and each has its own drop-off through council or a product-stewardship scheme.
It does. The subtropical and tropical climate drives heavy green-waste clean-ups, and demand jumps through the November-to-April storm and cyclone season when fallen trees, damaged fences and flood debris need clearing fast along the coast and up north.
No, we don't own bins. Tipaload compares local Queensland suppliers servicing your postcode so you can weigh price, size and availability, then book. A local operator delivers and collects.
