The 3m³ Skip Bin at a Glance
The 3m³ skip is one of our most booked sizes. It takes a bathroom strip-out, a shed clear-out or a solid day of garden work, and it is still short enough for a narrow driveway.
What Fits in a 3m³ Skip Bin
- A bathroom strip-out: vanity, toilet, shower screen, fittings and plasterboard
- A shed or garage clear-out with a few bulky items
- A full day of garden work: prunings, weeds and old plants
- The contents of a spare room or a storage cage
When Another Size Is Better
- Mostly tiles. Tiles and render are heavy, so if they make up most of the load, book Mixed Heavy and you will not pay for extra weight.
- Kitchen renovations. Cabinets and benchtops usually need a 4m³.
Heavy Waste and Loading
Full of soil, concrete or bricks, a 3m³ bin weighs around four to five tonnes. Book the heavy waste type that matches your load, and keep it level with the top of the bin.
Keep these out of every bin: asbestos, paint, chemicals, gas bottles, batteries and e-waste. Mattresses and tyres can go in as paid extras, added in your quote.

What Our Bookings Tell Us About 3m³ Bins
Mixed heavy loads, general waste mixed with bricks, tiles or concrete, are among the most common in 3m³ bins. If your job includes any demolition, choose Mixed Heavy rather than General Waste so the weight is covered. Book a few days ahead in October to get the dates you want. This comes from our own bookings of 3m³ bins over the last two years.
Not Sure It's the Right Size?
Compare the sizes either side. If you are between two, size up: a second bin costs more than a bigger one.

Delivery and Placement
Where it fits
At about 2.5m long it still fits on a narrow driveway or a single car space, with room to walk past. Ask your strata before using a shared car park. Put it on a flat, firm surface, not soft grass or new pavers.
