Wheelie bins set up at an Adelaide event

Event
Bin Hire Across Adelaide

Most Adelaide event organisers don't have time to chase a skip bin permit and don't want a big yellow skip parked at the entry to the venue. We ship standard wheelie bins to your site before gates open, sit them out of the way of the entry, and collect them the morning after. No council paperwork, no industrial-look bin in your photos, one less vendor to chase on event day.

Bins that turn up on time and don't get in the way

Event waste is its own thing. The bins need to be in place before guests arrive, somewhere that catering and bar staff can actually reach without crossing the dance floor, and they need to be gone the next morning before anyone's nursing a hangover at the venue.

We do bins for weddings at home and at function centres, multi-day festivals, sporting fixtures, school fairs, and corporate functions. For a backyard wedding it might be two 660s tucked behind the marquee. For a festival in the parklands it might be a dozen 1100s across the site with mid-event swap-outs so they're never overflowing.

Tell us the venue, the date, what's being served (the food and drink mix changes how much rubbish you generate), and roughly how many people. We'll come back with what we'd put on the ground and what it costs. A simple email is usually enough, and there's no planning meeting unless the venue's a tricky one.

What we sort out:

  • Bin numbers and sizes for the expected headcount
  • Where each bin goes so staff can actually reach them
  • Separate streams for general waste, recycling, and food/organics if you want them
  • Mid-event swap-outs or extra collections for multi-day events
  • Delivery the day before the event starts, pickup the day after
  • Custom timing for sites with restricted access windows

Drop us the date, venue and headcount and we'll come back with a price the same day.

Event bin hire questions

How much do event bins cost?

Event hire is priced per job, not off a fixed list, because the bin count and the streams depend on your headcount and what is being served. Send the date, venue and headcount and we quote the full setup the same day. GST is included.

When do you deliver and collect?

We deliver the day before the event so the bins are in place before gates open, and we collect the morning after. For multi-day events we can swap bins out or add mid-event collections so they never overflow.

Do you provide separate recycling and organics bins?

Yes. We run separate streams for general waste, recycling and food or organics, with colour-coding and signage so guests sort it correctly. Tell us the food and drink mix and we will set the streams up to match.

What size and how many bins do I need?

It depends on the headcount and what is being served. A backyard wedding might be two 660L bins behind the marquee, a parklands festival might be a dozen 1100L bins across the site. Give us the numbers and we will work out what goes on the ground.

Do I need a council permit?

No. Wheelie bins sit on the venue or private property, so there is no council skip permit to chase and no industrial skip parked at the entry to your event.

Which Adelaide areas do you cover for events?

The full Adelaide metro area, from the northern suburbs down to the southern coast and out to the west. If you are unsure your venue is in range, send the address and we will confirm before you book.
