Cheap Skip Bins in Sydney
Everyone wants the cheapest bin. The honest answer is that the biggest savings are not in who you hire from, they are in how you use the bin. Here is what actually moves the number, and our promise on price.
We will match any written quote. If another Sydney operator has quoted you for the same size bin and the same waste type, bring it to us and we will match it. Call 0419 622 275.
Five things that genuinely reduce the bill
Keep it off the road. A bin on your own driveway needs no council permit. Depending on the council that alone saves anywhere from nothing to several hundred dollars.
Keep the waste to one clean stream. Green waste and clean concrete both recycle, so both cost less to dispose of than a mixed load. Mixed heavy waste is the most expensive thing you can put in a bin.
Break things down. Furniture, boxes and branches trap air. You paid for cubic metres, so use them rather than paying for the gaps.
Pull out the surcharged items. Mattresses, tyres and gas bottles all attract separate fees everywhere in Sydney. Deal with them another way.
Order the right size. Not the biggest, and not one that leaves you needing a second bin. One cubic metre is about one trailer load. Count them and add one.

Compare like for like
A cheap headline price often hides a small weight allowance, a three day hire period, or a delivery fee added at the end. Before you compare two quotes, ask both operators the same three questions: what is the weight allowance, how many days are included, and what is not accepted.
| Bin size | Published Sydney range, general waste |
|---|---|
| 2m3 | $450 to $550 |
| 3m3 | $510 to $635 |
| 4m3 | $570 to $705 |
| 6m3 | $690 to $990 |
| 8m3 | $810 to $1,270 |
| 10m3 | $1,049 to $1,300 |
Those are published Sydney ranges for general waste, gathered from operators who show their rates openly. If a quote you have been given sits well above that range for the same waste type, it is worth a second call.
| Charge | What the market typically charges |
|---|---|
| Going over the weight allowance | Commonly $280 to $440 a tonne depending on the operator |
| Mattresses | Usually $80 to $120 each, because they have to be pulled out and processed separately |
| Tyres | Around $50 to $110 each, more for truck tyres |
| Carpet and underlay | Around $60 to $80 a roll |
| Gas bottles and fire extinguishers | Charged separately, and some operators refuse them outright |
| Keeping the bin longer | Often free for a few days with notice, otherwise around $50 a week |
Common questions
Will you match another company's price?
Yes. Bring us a written estimate from another Sydney operator for the same bin size and the same waste type and we will match it. Call 0419 622 275 with the quote in front of you.
What is the cheapest way to hire a skip bin?
Put it on your own property so you avoid a council permit, keep the waste to a single clean stream, and book the size you actually need rather than the biggest available. Those three things save more than shopping around does.
Are cheap skip bins a false economy?
Sometimes. A low headline price with a small weight allowance and a short hire period can end up costing more than a fair price with a realistic allowance. Ask what the weight limit is and how many days are included before you compare.
Is green waste cheaper than general waste?
Yes, typically 20 to 25 per cent cheaper for the same size bin, because it is mulched rather than landfilled. Clean concrete can also be cheaper with some operators for the same reason.
Do you charge extra for same day delivery?
No. If we have a bin and a truck free, you get it the same day at the same price.
