Skip bins block the driveway, drag in council permits, and force the build to wait on a delivery window the skip operator picks. We deliver wheelie bins to Adelaide builder sites on call and collect them when you call. No permit, no blocked driveway, no paying upfront for capacity that might not fill.

Bins sit on the property, so no council permit and the driveway stays clear
Message us when the bin is full and we slot in a swap, no fixed pickup day
Rolls down narrow access and through dock entries a skip truck cannot reach
The bin you put on site sets the pace for the whole job. Too small and it's full by Tuesday. Too big and it sits half-empty for a fortnight while you pay for it. We do light construction waste bins for renos, extensions and new builds across the Adelaide metro area, and we'll talk through sizing before you book.
The bins handle the usual reno strip-out: timber framing offcuts, plasterboard, old carpet, packaging, kitchen and bathroom fitouts, broken laminate, vinyl, insulation batts, light metal scraps. Treat them like an oversized wheelie bin. Same kind of stuff, just more of it.
What they're not built for is the heavy stuff. Bricks, concrete, tiles, soil and rubble are out. They push the bin over the weight limit fast and damage the truck's lift gear. If you're doing a demo with brickwork or a slab, you'll need a skip bin from a heavy-waste specialist, not us.
Prohibited items include: bricks, concrete, dirt/soil, sand, tiles, asbestos, rocks, gravel, clay, rubble, cement, and heavy construction waste.
These bins take timber, plasterboard, packaging, carpet, insulation, light metal scraps, vinyl, and the general mess of a strip-out. They do NOT take bricks, concrete, cement, tiles, dirt, sand, rocks, gravel, clay, rubble, or asbestos in any form. If the load is mostly heavy material, book a skip bin from a heavy-waste operator instead. Our truck and bins aren't rated for it.
On pricing: Builder jobs aren't priced from the standard 7 day hire calculator. The number depends on bin size, hire length, how often you need it swapped, and whether the site has its own access constraints. Send through the project details and we'll send back a price.
Mid-rise apartment builds, infill townhouse developments, and staged works on larger sites. Bins live on the kerb or in a designated bin pad, swapped on a schedule that keeps up with the trades.
Tenancy fitouts, office refits, shop changeovers and restaurant turnarounds. These jobs are usually short and intense. Strip-out one weekend, fitout the next. We match that timing rather than stretching the hire out.
The most common booking. Kitchen, bathroom and laundry renos, deck and pergola rebuilds, full-house repaints, owner-builders doing extensions. A 660L or 1100L on the driveway for a week or two does most of these.
For jobs running longer than 30 days, the bin lives on site for the duration of the build and we come back to swap it for an empty one whenever it gets full. You message us when you need a swap rather than us turning up on a fixed day.
Best for: Extensions, full renos, new builds, staged townhouse jobs, anything where you've got trades on site for more than a month.
If something on the list has you unsure, send it through before you book. That's easier than having the bin left behind on collection day.
Most builder jobs end up in either a 660L or 1100L. The 240L is rare on a site. It's the same size as a residential council bin and fills up too quickly to be worth it.

Get a QuoteStrip-out waste lives in the bin, not in a heap by the door. Less risk of someone copping a nail through their boot, and easier to keep the site tidy for an inspection.
A few hundred kilos of plasterboard and timber off-cuts is half a day's tip-running once you factor in load, drive, gate fees and drive back. Way cheaper to fill the bin and let us take it.
On a longer job you message us when the bin's full and we slot in a swap. No need to commit to a fixed pickup day before you know how the build's running.
Loads go through a transfer station that pulls out cardboard, clean timber, scrap metal and other recyclables. The general waste fraction ends up smaller than people expect.
The bins roll down narrow inner-suburb access and through CBD loading docks that a tilt-tray skip truck can't get near, so the bin goes where the work is.
You get a quote for the whole job before you book. Bin size, hire length, expected swap-outs. No surprises when the build wraps.
The 660L bin has a 100kg weight limit and the 1100L bin 150kg. That's a lot for plasterboard or timber but not much for anything dense. Stuff like wet carpet, soaked plaster after rain, or a pile of full paint tins will push you over the limit fast. Overweight bins can't be lifted by the truck. If it's too heavy on the day, we'll have to leave it and come back once it's been redistributed.
Yes. Timber, plasterboard, packaging, carpet and insulation can all go in together. What can't go in is the heavy stuff: bricks, concrete, tiles, soil, sand or rubble. If our crew finds prohibited material in the bin on collection day, we may not be able to take it until it's been pulled out, and a contamination fee can apply.
Usually the next business day if you book before lunchtime, two business days if you book later than that. Deliveries run Monday to Friday only. Make sure there's truck access. Clear of skips, scaffold, parked cars and trade utes. For the morning we're due, otherwise we'll have to reschedule.
If you've got more than one bin going on a single site, or a project running long enough that you'll need a string of swap-outs, send the details through and we'll quote it as one job rather than separate hires. The longer the build, the better the per-bin price usually works out.
Stop the job and get a licensed asbestos remover in. Asbestos cannot go in our bins under any circumstances. Old eaves, vinyl floor tiles, fibro sheet and pipe lagging in pre-1990 houses are the usual surprises. If you suspect it, hold off filling the bin until it's been checked or removed properly.
A wheelie bin for the week for a home renovation, garden tidy or cleanout. 360L $99, 660L $129, 1100L $179, delivery and pickup included.
