Skip bin sizes & prices Townsville — full comparison

Green waste is a 4-day hire; general waste is a 7-day hire. The price you see is the hire price — no hidden extras. Mattresses are the one exception: they have to be separated out at the tip, so each one adds a charge on top. Tell us when you book and we will confirm it up front.

How to choose the right skip bin size

Our skip bin sizes & prices Townsville guide is built around one idea: picking the right size first time is the easiest way to save money — hiring twice always costs more than going one size up. Estimate your volume in trailer loads: each cubic metre roughly equals one standard 6×4 box-trailer load, so a 3m³ holds about three loads and a 6m³ around six. If you're between two sizes, round up — a skip that's three-quarters full beats paying a second delivery fee. The 4m³ is our most popular size and the right fit for most domestic jobs, from a full house declutter to a small bathroom reno.

Weight limits and fixed pricing

Every skip has a set weight allowance (for example, 700kg on the 4m³), which mainly comes into play with dense materials like soil, brick, tile and concrete. There's no need to work it out yourself — our friendly team will explain the weight limits when they deliver, and you're always welcome to call ahead if you have any questions. All prices are fixed and are plus GST. We deliver from Ayr to Ingham, and extra charges apply on those outlying runs. Once you've chosen a size, pick your stream — mixed rubbish goes in a general waste skip, while clean garden material suits a green waste skip. Still weighing it up?

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.
