The 6m³ Skip Bin at a Glance
A 6m³ skip is for bigger jobs: a whole unit clean-out, a renovation across several rooms, or a garden overhaul. Its walls are higher than the smaller bins, so plan how you will load it.
What Fits in a 6m³ Skip Bin
- The furniture and clutter from a one or two bedroom unit
- A renovation across several rooms: flooring, cabinets, plasterboard and fittings
- A garden overhaul: branches cut into lengths, hedges and old timber fencing
- A garage and a shed cleared out together
When Another Size Is Better
- A larger home. Clearing a full house or a deceased estate often needs an 8m³ or 9m³.
- Heavy waste. A full 6m³ of soil or concrete can reach the truck's lifting limit, so a smaller heavy waste bin is usually better.
Heavy Waste and Loading
Use the rear door if your bin has one, and load the heaviest items first so they sit at the bottom. Keep everything level with the top: the driver cannot take an overfilled 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 6m³ Bins
Mixed heavy loads, general waste mixed with bricks, tiles or concrete, are among the most common in 6m³ bins. In Melbourne a 6m³ Mixed Heavy bin costs from $663, against $429 for general waste. It costs more because the tip charges by weight, but it covers the extra weight that would otherwise be charged on top. Book a few days ahead in November to get the dates you want. This comes from our own bookings of 6m³ 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 3.7m long and 1.3m high it takes most of a single driveway. The truck needs more height and width than for the smaller bins, so check for carports, gutters and overhead wires. Put it on a flat, firm surface, not soft grass or new pavers.
