What affects the price?
Three things mostly determine what you’ll pay:
- Bin size — bigger bins cost more, but choosing the right size first time is cheaper than hiring twice. Our guide to what size skip bin you need makes it easy.
- Waste type — green waste is cheaper than general waste because it’s recycled into mulch (here’s the full green vs general waste breakdown).
- Location — we deliver right across Townsville and the surrounding suburbs at standard rates. We deliver from Ayr to Ingham, and extra charges apply on those outlying runs; just call for a quick quote.
Watch the weight limit
Each skip has a fixed weight allowance — for example, 700kg on a 4m³. This matters most with heavy loads like soil, rubble and concrete, which can hit the limit before the bin looks full. Our friendly team explains the weight limits when they deliver, so there’s nothing to work out yourself — and you can always call ahead if you’re unsure. No nasty surprises on the invoice.
