Important Guidelines
To ensure that we meet the state government's regulations for safe and effective waste management, hazardous materials like asbestos and toxic or flammable liquids must not be placed in our skip bins. A few of our clients have experienced bin fires as a result of placing such items in their skip bin, which is a serious fire risk to property.
Please note that we are not licensed to handle prohibited substances and, if they appear in any of our bins, we will give you the option to retrieve the prohibited item(s) or to pay the cost of a specialist contractor to legally dispose of the offending item(s).
The cost of handling prohibited substances, plus a handling fee, will be passed onto the offending client.
What Cannot Go In Your Bin
- Asbestos (all forms)
- Flammable goods and materials
- Sharps and medical waste
- Food scraps and perishable goods
- Dead animals
- Paint and stains
- Oils and lubricants
- Chemicals and solvents
- Pool chemicals
- Sharps in liquid containers
- Tyres are not prohibited but extra charges apply.
- Additional fees cover council tyre disposal fees and our handling costs.
Please contact us before placing tyres in a bin so we can advise on the applicable fee.
Non-Compliance Consequences
If prohibited items are found in your bin, you will be given the option to retrieve them yourself or cover the cost of a specialist contractor to legally dispose of the offending items. All associated costs plus a handling fee will be charged to the client.
