Compare live prices from local suppliers across Greater Hobart, the Eastern Shore, Kingborough and the Huon Valley, right up to Launceston and the North West. One postcode, honest prices, sorted online.
Pick by the job rather than the heap. The table shows what fits and what the Tasmanian price is today.
| Bin size | Typical job & waste type | From (incl. GST) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 m³ | A single room cleared, or a small unit declutter. | From $334.31 |
| 2 m³ | A bathroom strip-out, or a small garden tidy. Best for heavy loads: soil, brick, tile. | From $347.55 |
| 3 m³ | A room taken back to bare walls, or a decent garden clean-up. | From $396.13 |
| 4 m³ | A small reno, or a whole-house declutter. | From $476.46 |
| 6 m³ | A kitchen renovation, or a full garden overhaul on a Tasmanian block. | From $635.00 |
| 8 m³ | A full-home clear-out or a build, with the heavy rubble left out. | From $921.95 |
A small job only? Tasmanian 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 Hobart reference postcode. Tasmania's statewide landfill levy (a relatively new charge, around $45/tonne) means weight drives the price harder than bin size alone. Punch in a postcode for the figure on your street.

Tasmania splits naturally into a southern cluster around Hobart and a northern cluster around Launceston, so it pays to price your exact suburb.
Hobart CBD, North Hobart, Sandy Bay, New Town, Moonah
Glenorchy, Bellerive, Kingston, Blackmans Bay, Huonville
Launceston, Devonport, Burnie, Ulverstone, Wynyard
Short answer: on your own driveway, no. On the verge, footpath or road, yes, and each council sets its own process and fee — Hobart, Glenorchy and Clarence in the south, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie in the north. Check with the council covering your suburb before booking a public-land placement.
Southern and northern Tasmania each run through their own council waste network, with the statewide levy built into your price.
The main southern transfer station and landfill site serving Greater Hobart.
Council-run transfer stations serve Launceston, Devonport and the North West.
Paint, gas bottles, batteries and other problem waste go to a local drop-off, not the skip.
Hillside heritage homes in the south and established northern suburbs shape what fills a skip here.
Tasmanian quotes vary by suburb, bin size, waste type, hire length and supplier availability. Tasmania brought in a statewide landfill levy in recent years, now around $45 a tonne, and it is charged by weight when the load is tipped, so a heavy load costs more than a light one. Put your postcode in to see the live figure for your street.
Only on public land. On your own driveway, nothing is needed. On the footpath, nature strip or road the council wants approval, from Hobart, Glenorchy and Clarence in the south to Launceston, Devonport and Burnie in the north, each with its own fee. Check your local council.
Yes, and it is fairly new. Tasmania introduced a statewide landfill levy that now sits near $45 a tonne and rises over time, and it is folded into the gate fee, so keeping heavy fill in the smaller bins helps keep the cost down.
Loads are taken to council waste transfer stations and landfills such as McRobies Gully in Hobart or the northern facilities around Launceston, with the levy in the gate fee. Green and general waste are kept apart so more can be recovered.
Yes, with an eye on weight. Soil and rubble are heavy and go in the smaller heavy-waste bins because the levy is by the tonne. Garden waste is common on Tasmania's larger, greener blocks and is kept apart so it can be composted or recycled.
Asbestos is the main one, and it needs a licensed removalist rather than a general skip, worth knowing with Tasmania's older weatherboard and heritage homes. Gas bottles, tyres, paint, chemicals, batteries and hazardous materials stay out as well.
Two things. The cooler climate and older housing stock bring plenty of heritage weatherboard renovations, and the dry summers carry a real bushfire risk, so green-waste and hazard-reduction clearing picks up through the warmer months.
