Can I put a mattress in the mixed-waste skip bin?

Yes, inner-spring mattresses and ensemble bases are accepted in our mixed-waste skip bins. However, they must be placed on top of the load, and a local recycling surcharge of $40 per mattress applies. Please remember that tyres are no longer accepted.

Do I need a permit to place a mixed heavy-waste skip bin on the road?

If the bin can sit safely on your private property, like your driveway or within your front gate, no permit is required. If the mixed heavy-waste skip bin needs to be placed on a Bendigo council road or nature strip, a permit is mandatory. Give us a buzz, and we can walk you through the council guidelines.

What happens if I overfill the bin?

For the safety of our drivers and the general public, all waste must be level with the rim of the bin. Overfilled bins cannot be legally or safely transported on public roads. If you have heavy materials like concrete or soil, try to distribute them evenly across the bottom of the bin.

Can you deliver a mixed-waste skip bin to a narrow driveway in Bendigo?

We sure can. Our local drivers are highly skilled and know how to navigate Bendigo’s narrow, historic streets and tight driveways. If you have overhead branches, low powerlines, or tight gates, just let us know when booking so we can send the best truck for your space.

Mixed-Waste Skip Bins: What Can You Toss Together?

The beauty of a mixed-waste skip bin lies in its versatility. Unlike standard bins, you don’t have to separate your indoor rubbish from your outdoor or renovation waste. If you are doing a deep spring clean that involves both the house and the garden, or a minor home upgrade, this is the bin for you.

YES | What Can Go in Your Mixed Skip Bin

You can throw a combination of light household items and heavy materials into our mixed bins:

Household Items: Old furniture (lounges, tables, chairs), toys, clothes, cardboard boxes, and general bric-a-brac.
Kitchen, Living, & Fixtures: Old appliances, plastics, metals, and floor coverings like rugs or old lino.
Shed, Yard, & Renovation Debris: Bricks, concrete, plaster, tiles, rocks, earth, timber, carpet, and old garden tools.

YES | Must be Placed on Top

We happily accept these items, but because they require special recycling processes, they must be placed right on top of the bin:

Mattresses & Ensemble Bases: Allowed, but incur a $40 fee per item to cover recycling surcharges.
White Goods & E-Waste: Fridges, dryers, washing machines, TVs, and computer monitors can be placed on top. Free of charge.

Keeping Your Mixed Heavy-Waste Skip Bin Safe

While our mixed heavy-waste skip bin can take a beating from bricks and concrete, there are still strict regulations regarding hazardous substances and environmental safety. Keeping these items out prevents dangerous reactions and saves you from unexpected contamination fees.

NO | What Must Not Go in Your Skip

If you’re clearing out a relative’s old workshop or garage and find some mysterious chemical bottles or old paint tins, give us a bell before you toss them in. We will gladly help you figure out the safest way to dispose of them.

Pest & Odour Risks: Strictly no food scraps or putrescible waste. These must stay in your standard council bins to avoid pests and smells.
Hazardous Materials: No chemicals, poisons, liquids of any kind (including wet paint and automotive oil), gas cylinders, explosive materials, or uncontained fine dusty substances (including asbestos).
No Soil or Gravel: We cannot accept soil, dirt, clay, or gravel in our mixed-waste skip bins.
The Battery Rule: Lithium-ion batteries (found in modern toys, vapes, and cordless tools) are an extreme fire risk and are strictly banned from all bins.
Tyres: We no longer accept tyres.

Sizing Up Your Mixed-Waste Skip Bin Needs

Choosing the right bin size for heavy or mixed materials requires a bit of strategy, as heavy materials like dirt and bricks add up quickly. If you are just tackling a single room remodel or a small garden shed cleanout, a 2m³ or 3m³ bin will usually do the trick. If you are clearing out a whole 3-bedroom home, an entire garage, or throwing out heavy concrete paths and tiles, consider a 6m³ or larger bin.
