Frequently Asked Questions

Any general household and building waste can be placed in the skip. We have skips suited for small yard clean-ups, skips suited for big demolitions and construction sites, and sizes for everything in between. Mattresses incur an extra cost of $40.

For environmental and occupational health and safety reasons, there are some items that cannot be placed in the skip. These include:

• Tyres

• Poisons

• Asbestos

• Sharps

• Explosive materials and fireworks

• Gas cylinders

• Hazardous substances such as oils, lubricants, paints (empty tins are fine), dyes, resins, adhesives, caustic substances, chlorine, and other chemicals.

The skips are hired for 4-day periods. If arranged beforehand, skips can be hired for longer periods with an additional fee.

No, skips cannot be delivered on weekends.

We offer a wide range of skip sizes to accommodate all garbage removal needs, starting from our 2m² which is ideal for small yard clean-ups, up to our massive 25m² for large demolitions or construction sites.

Visit the pricing page to see how big the skips are. Alternatively, you are welcome to visit our site to see the skips in person, or we can assist you over the phone.

Usually, a few days' notice is all that is required.

It is crucial that the skip is not filled beyond the rim. It is a legal requirement that the skip is covered during transport. If the skip is filled past the rim, you will either need to remove the excess contents or you may opt to order another skip to transfer the contents before scheduling another pickup.

If the skip is overloaded or too heavy to be safely picked up, and the driver cannot secure the contents properly, the skip will be considered illegal to transport. Consequently, you will need to remove the excess contents or order an additional skip for the overflow.

Payment for the skip can be made via direct debit before delivery or with cash on delivery.

Once the skip has been delivered, it should not be moved. The skip can be placed anywhere on your property that is accessible to the truck. Specific placement can be discussed at the time of order or with the driver upon delivery.

Deliveries outside of the Copper Coast can be arranged for an additional fee. We would be happy to discuss this further with you. Please contact us by phone or through our contact page.

If you exceed the skip's weight limit, you will be charged an additional $20 for every 100kg over the weight limit.
