Absolutely. During delivery and collection we just need 5.5m of clear space in front of where you want your skip placed.
Driveways with 2m overhead clearance and at least 2.6m wide (3m wide if curved) are accessible for all our skip sizes.

Yes. We can place our 3m³, 6m³, and 9m³ skips inside a garage provided your door opening is at least 1.96m high and 2.6m wide.

We deliver to some very difficult properties.

Flat or gently sloping driveways at least 2.6m wide and with 2m overhead clearance are accessible for all our skip sizes.

Moderately sloped driveways are accessible if the access is a hard surface with good traction and the final placement area for the skip is more or less level.

Unformed accesses, grass parking areas, or steep driveways are generally still safe for delivery of our 3m³ skips, but are often unsuitable for larger skips unless there is a flat skip placement area with turning room adjacent.

If you would like to confirm that we can service your difficult site, please email or text us your address and relevant access details prior to booking. (022) 500 4900.

No, just let us know in your booking notes where you’d like the skip dropped and make sure any access gates are left unlocked.

Yes, if our website shows availability.

We have skips with waste capacities of 3 cubic meters, 6 cubic meters and 9 cubic meters.

• a 3m³ skip has the same capacity as 12 to 13 full-sized (240 litre) “wheelie bins”, or about 3 standard trailers.
• A 9m³ skip is around 38 wheelie bins or 9 trailers.
• As a rule of thumb, a 2 bedroom house clean-out will probably fit in one of our 3m³ skips provided you aren’t disposing of furniture items.
• For larger homes or for furniture disposal, the 6m³ is a better option, and if it turns out you have more waste than expected, you can instantly upgrade to 9m³ online and receive a padlock code to unlock the dropsides.
• Estate cleanouts and renovation projects will generally require a 9m³ skip, often more than one.

The lid opening of our 3m³ skips is 1.8m by 1m; items up to 0.8m long can go in these skips.
The open tops of our 6m³ and 9m³ skips are approximately 3.2m by 2.2m. Long items should go into the skip lengthways so they tip out easily.

Our rates include:

• delivery,
• skip hire for up to 7 days,
• collection,
• and the disposal of your waste in the skip. (included disposal is subject to weight limit and prohibited waste exclusions)

Yes we are. Visit our quotes page and fill out the form to have a WINZ quote sent to your email.

That’s ok, most people don’t.

Our weight limits are standard across the industry, and are set at a point that comfortably accommodates residential waste disposal.

Of 100 domestic loads, we would expect only 3 or 4 loads to exceed the limit, and there would usually be an obvious reason for the overage.

Some tips to ensure you stay within the weight limit –

• Keep any furniture, bedding, and carpet dry. Putting a tarpaulin over the skip before rain can prevent waterlogging. We’ll remove, fold up, and leave your tarpaulin for you before we take your skip away.
• Put any large steel items on last. This lets us separate the steel out before weighing-in for waste disposal.
• Make sure your helpers know not to put prohibited materials such as concrete, brick and soil in the skip.

The following items cannot go into general waste skips:

• Concrete
• Soil
• Rock
• Brick
• Fridges/freezers/air conditioning units
• Car tyres

Also hazardous waste including but not limited to:

• Asbestos
• Plant and pest sprays
• Oil
• LPG bottles
• Chemicals
• Wet paints and wood stains
• Batteries (also see other FAQ)

The following items cannot go into green waste skips –

• Long flax and fibrous plant material (but see exceptions below)
• Branches over 200mm diameter
• Non-organic material
• Treated wood
• Fencing, decking, trellis, etc
• Weedmat
• Plant markers
• Stumps
• Soil
• Rock

Flax and fibrous plant material can however be accepted with greenwaste in the following ways:

• We can take 1 separate sack of fibrous material, which we will take to landfill with another load; or
• If you cut all fibrous material down to pieces less than 200mm long it can go in with the greenwaste.

Please dispose of bulk flax and fibrous plant material over 200mm long as general waste.

General building waste is fine, just no hardfill, concrete, etc.

3m³ skips are generally unsuitable for building waste and sheet material, but if you are filling a 3m³ skip, please break up all long items and sheet material into pieces shorter than 0.8m long so they don’t block the skip when we tip it out.

6m³ and 9m³ skips just need long items placed in the skip lengthways so they slide out easily when tipping.

Car batteries cannot go into skips, but we will collect lead-acid car batteries if you place them in an obvious place near the skip. We cannot take lithium car or motorcycle batteries.

We deposit all car batteries for recycling, with the proceeds going to KidsCan and Barnardos

Yes, provided the appliance does not contain (or has contained) refrigerant, such as found in fridges and heatpumps.
If your waste will include large appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines, please select a 6m³ or 9m³ skip, as the 3m³ skips are unsuitable and will block on tip-out.

Generally up to 7 days.

We can bump your collection up to the next available slot in our pickup schedule, but please note that collections already booked for that day will take precedence.

Just send a text message to (022) 500 4900 and we’ll collect as soon as we’re able.

No problem, just leave us a detailed note in the ‘delivery instructions’ section during your booking.
