How Big is a Skip Bin
Super Skips Bin Sizes Explained
Super Skips bins come in a range of sizes, designed to suit everything from small backyard cleanups to large construction jobs. Here’s a quick guide to our skip sizes and how much waste they can handle:
2m3 Bin
Perfect for small jobs like minor garden cleanups, clearing green waste, or a quick home declutter. This size holds about eight council wheelie bins or two trailer loads of waste.
3m3 Bin
A great option for slightly larger cleanups, such as tidying up after a small renovation or a mid-sized garage cleanout. It fits approximately twelve wheelie bins or three trailer loads.
4m3 Bin
Ideal for medium-sized projects like bathroom renovations, clearing out furniture, or big gardening jobs around the house. This bin holds roughly sixteen wheelie bins or four trailer loads.
6m3 Bin
Perfect for larger-scale projects, such as kitchen remodels, bulky waste disposal, or clearing garden waste from larger properties or acreages. This bin accommodates about twenty-four wheelie bins or six trailer loads.
10m3 Bin
Designed for significant projects like major home renovations, construction cleanups, or garden overhauls on expansive properties. It holds up to forty wheelie bins or ten trailer loads.
12m3 Bin
The largest option we offer, suited for industrial cleanups, demolition waste, or large-scale landscaping projects. It can handle up to forty-eight wheelie bins or twelve trailer loads.
Choosing the Right Size
To pick the right skip bin size, consider these factors:
1. The Type of Waste
In Australia, regulations often require separating waste types (e.g., green waste, general waste, construction debris). This impacts how much you can fit in a bin. Be sure to have separate bins if your project involves different types of waste.
2. The Project Scope
For example, spring garden cleanups might only need a 2m3 bin, while kitchen renovations or moving house may call for a 4m3 one. It is important that you choose the right skip size for your project.
3. Your Local Council’s Rules
If you’re placing a skip bin on public property, like a nature strip or roadside, you may need a council permit. Brisbane residents typically need a permit to place a skip on a public road, footpath or driveway layback.
