What Can Go in a Hire Bin in Adelaide
Most of what comes out of a house clearout or an office strip-out is fine to put in a hire wheelie bin. The list of things that cannot go in is short, and it is the same list that catches people out, so it is worth a read before you book.
What you can put in
General household waste, furniture, clothing and soft furnishings, cardboard and packaging, timber and offcuts, garden prunings, and general office and shop fit-out waste. If it came out of a normal home or workplace clearout, it almost always goes in the bin without a problem.
Builders bins take general construction and demolition waste, the light stuff like timber, plasterboard, packaging and offcuts. They do not take heavy rubble.
What cannot go in any bin
These never go in a hire bin, no exceptions, because they have to go to the right facility:
- Asbestos in any form
- Paint, oils, liquids and chemicals
- Gas bottles and aerosols
- Batteries
- Tyres
- Food waste left to rot
If you are not sure whether something counts, ring 0481 274 420 before you put it in. It is a quick question and it saves the bin being knocked back on collection.
The heavy rubble exception
Bricks, concrete, soil, sand, rubble and pavers are too heavy for a wheelie bin and are not accepted. That kind of load is what a skip is built for. If your job is mostly heavy rubble, a skip is the right tool, and there is more on that in skip bin vs wheelie bin hire.
Fill it to the rim, not over
Fill the bin level with the top so the lid closes and the load is safe to lift onto the truck. If you are filling up faster than you thought, ring and we will sort an upsize or a second bin. Pick the size with the size guide or see the full price list. A 360L bin is $99, a 660L is $129 and an 1100L is $179 for seven days, GST, delivery and pickup included. Hire is across Adelaide metro only.
