Our story

About Green Ant Skips: built by locals, for locals

What started as a small local operation has grown into one of the region's most trusted skip bin services. Over fifteen years we've invested in a reliable fleet of trucks and a full range of bins — from a handy 2m³ right up to the 8m³ — so there's always the right size ready to go.

We're not a faceless franchise. When you call, you talk to locals who know the suburbs, know the access on your street, and genuinely want to make your job easier. That's how we've earned a customer base that comes back project after project and points their mates our way.

With Townsville booming — new homes, renovations and commercial builds going up right across the district — we're proud to keep the region moving by clearing the waste behind it, quickly and fairly.

What we do

Two waste streams, five sizes, one easy booking

We keep skip bin hire simple. General waste skip bins take mixed household and light commercial rubbish on a 7-day hire, while our green waste skip bins are built strictly for clean garden material on a focused 4-day hire.

Five sizes run from a compact 2m³ up to a generous 8m³ — see them all to scale on our sizes & prices page. We deliver six days a week across Townsville and the surrounding districts, with small, manoeuvrable trucks that place the bin close to the job.

Common questions

How long can I keep the skip bin at my property?

Our standard hire periods are tailored explicitly to the type of waste you are disposing of to keep your costs down. General mixed-waste skip bins come with a flexible 7-day hire period included in your flat rate, allowing you to clean out your garage or renovation site at your own pace. Dedicated green-waste skip bins feature a focused 4-day hire period, which is ideal for weekend garden clean-ups before organic vegetation begins to sit too long in the intense North Queensland tropical heat.

How do I pay for my skip bin?

Payment is required on delivery. Our drivers carry Square card facilities, so you can tap or swipe on the spot when your skip arrives. If it suits you better, we can also take payment over the phone — there is a range of options, but we usually take payment on delivery.

What suburbs across Townsville do you deliver skip bins to?

Green Ant Skips provides prompt, friendly delivery six days a week (Monday to Saturday) right across the entire Townsville region. This includes inner suburbs like North Ward, Hermit Park and South Townsville; high-density residential hubs like Kirwan, Aitkenvale, Annandale and Cranbrook; and the entire Northern Beaches growth corridor (Burdell, Bushland Beach, Deeragun, Jensen and Mount Low). We deliver from Ayr to Ingham, so we also route trucks out to extended regional districts including Kelso, Alligator Creek, Ingham, Ayr, Home Hill and Balgal Beach — extra charges apply on those outlying runs, so give us a call for a quick quote.

Can I put a mixture of garden green waste and general household junk in the same bin?

If you have a combination of green waste and general household junk, you must book a General Waste Skip Bin. Our highly discounted Green Waste rates are strictly reserved for 100% clean organic garden material (like tree branches, lawn clippings and palm fronds) because these loads are channelled directly into local organic sorting and recycling streams. Mixing general household plastics, furniture or building materials into a green skip invalidates the load and incurs standard general waste sorting fees.

Are there any items that cost extra to put in a skip bin?

Yes — mattresses attract an additional charge for each one, because they cannot go into general landfill with the rest of a mixed load and have to be separated and processed on their own. We are happy to take them, we just need to know they are going in. Let us know when you book, or mention it to the driver on delivery, and we will confirm the cost up front rather than surprising you on the invoice. If you have anything else unusual — a fridge, a large appliance, or a load that is mostly soil, brick or concrete — give us a call on 0439 413 125 and we will tell you exactly where you stand before the bin arrives.

What items are strictly prohibited from being placed in your skip bins?

To comply with Queensland environmental protection regulations and local landfill safety policies, we cannot accept hazardous materials. This includes asbestos, tyres, wet chemical paints, gas cylinders, liquid oils, batteries and biological waste. If you are unsure about a specific item on your property cleanup, please call us directly before loading it into your bin.
