Adelaide CBD high-rise office building

Office Strip-Out
and Fitout Bins

Stripping out or fitting out an office in a CBD or high-rise building is hard to do with a skip. A wheelie bin fits in a goods lift and rolls through a basement, so it goes up to the floor you are working on, stays for the job, and we collect it when the work is done. A skip on the street needs a permit and a clear kerb. A wheelie bin does not.

Project bins for builders working in offices

This is for builders and fitout contractors working in office towers and commercial buildings, not for ongoing tenant rubbish. You have a strip-out or a fitout to clear and nowhere on the street to put a skip. We deliver a 660L or 1100L wheelie bin to the floor or the bin store, leave it for as long as the job runs, and take it away at the end. Light fitout waste only. One bin or a few, depending on the job.

What goes in the bin

  • Office partitions and stud walls
  • Plasterboard and ceiling tiles
  • Carpet, underlay and floor coverings
  • Timber, joinery and old fitout cabinetry
  • Packaging and cardboard from new fitout stock
  • Old desks, chairs and office furniture
  • General light commercial waste from the strip-out

What we cannot take

  • Bricks, concrete, rubble and tiles
  • Soil, sand and fill
  • Asbestos or anything bonded that might contain it
  • Liquid paint, oils and chemicals
  • Batteries, gas bottles and e-waste
  • Anything classed hazardous

Heavy demolition rubble needs a dedicated hardfill bin, not a wheelie bin. If you are not sure about a specific material, ask before we deliver.

Getting a bin into a working building

A wheelie bin is the easy way to get waste out of a working building. It fits a standard goods lift and sits in a basement bin store, so it goes where the work is without a skip ever touching the street.

  • Comes in through the loading dock and up in the goods lift
  • Fits a standard goods lift, so it reaches the floor you are working on
  • After-hours and early-morning access where the building requires it
  • Low-profile bins sit in a basement bin store without blocking it
  • No street permit, because nothing sits on the verge

Why a wheelie bin beats a skip for this

The same job, two very different days on a city site.

A skip on the street

  • Needs a council permit and a clear kerb
  • Wants a truck that can crane it on and off
  • Often not possible at all in the CBD
  • Blocks the footpath while it sits there

A wheelie bin in the building

  • Rolls in through the dock and rides the goods lift
  • Sits on the floor or in the bin store where you work
  • Holds 660L or 1100L of fitout waste
  • Delivery and collection built into the quote

How it works

Three steps from first call to an empty floor.

1

Tell us the job

Send the building address, the floor, what you are clearing and how long the job runs. We come back with a quote and confirm we can take the waste.

2

We deliver in

The bin comes in through the dock and up the goods lift to the floor or the bin store you are working from.

3

We collect when done

The bin stays for the run of the job. Message us when the work is finished and we book a collection slot and take it away.

Pricing and bin sizes

Quoted per job

Office jobs are quoted per job rather than at a flat rate, because the cost depends on the bin size, how the building access works and how long you need the bin on site. Tell us the job and you get a number before anything is booked. No add-ons added at the end.

The two sizes for fitout work

660L150kg max

Roughly 8 to 10 wheelbarrow loads. Good for one floor or a smaller tenancy.

1100L150kg max

Roughly 12 to 15 wheelbarrow loads. The usual pick for a full strip-out.

Office and high-rise bin questions

Will a wheelie bin fit in a goods lift?

Yes. A 660L and an 1100L both fit a standard goods lift, so the bin comes in through the loading dock and rides up to the floor you are working on. That is the whole point of using one instead of a skip in a CBD building.

Do I need a council permit for a bin in the building?

No. Nothing sits on the street or the verge, so there is no council permit to chase. The bin stays on the floor or in the basement bin store for the run of the job.

What size bin do I need for an office strip-out?

A 660L suits one floor or a smaller tenancy, roughly 8 to 10 wheelbarrow loads. An 1100L is the usual pick for a full strip-out, roughly 12 to 15 loads. If you are unsure, tell us the floor area and what you are clearing and we will size it for you.

How much does it cost?

Office jobs are quoted per job rather than at a flat rate, because the cost depends on the bin size, the building access and how long you need it on site. Send the details and you get a number before anything is booked, with no add-ons at the end.

Can you deliver and collect after hours?

Where the building requires it, yes. We do after-hours and early-morning access to fit the building's loading dock and lift booking rules. Tell us the access window when you ask for the quote.

What can't go in the bin?

No bricks, concrete, rubble or tiles, no soil or fill, no asbestos, no liquid paint, oils or chemicals, and no batteries, gas bottles or e-waste. Light fitout waste only. Heavy demolition rubble needs a dedicated hardfill bin.
