Find the Best Skip Bin or Mini Skip Hire Size
For Your Project!
Not sure which size skip bin you'll need?
You’re not alone. The trick is matching the type of waste and how much you have of it, to a skip bin that won’t leave you short of space—or overpaying for space you won’t use.
Eastern Skip Hire keeps it simple for homes and businesses across Melbourne’s eastern and outer eastern suburbs, the Yarra Ranges and the Yarra Valley. Tell us the waste going into the skip bin or mini skip, where the bin needs to sit, and when you want the skip gone.
We’ll suggest the most efficient skip size and confirm access questions up front, so delivery and pickup are straightforward. You need to keep the load level with the top edge only Overfilling skip bin is illegal and dangerous for other road users. No hazardous or prohibited waste items like paint, gas bottles, batteries or asbestos, etc.
If your bin needs to go on the street, you’ll need a council permit—we’ll explain the process and costs involved, as councils all vary in requirements and fees payable.
