This all depends on the type of rubbish you are going to put in the skip bin.

General Waste Bin is typically anything involved with a “general cleanup around the house and section” that is neither liquid nor of a hazardous nature. You can also mix green waste into this type of bin.

Hardfill Bin, if you have any of the following:
Concrete, clay, rocks, rubble, bricks, asphalt, ceramic tiles. Charges apply if any organic material or general waste is placed in a hardfill bin.

Green Waste Bin, if you have the following:
Grass, leaves, tree trimmings, small branches and other organic materials. Charges apply if any waste other than garden waste is placed in bin.

One cubic meter is roughly equivalent to a small box trailer load. A 9 cubic meter bin is the most common size.

Each product would have an example of how many standard bins \ trailer loads it equals to .

Please order your green waste bin online or call us. Garden waste bins are offered at a discounted rate.

Please note, the presence of any general or hardfill waste in the green waste bins will mean the general waste rate must be charged.

NB: Bamboo & cabbage trees are classified as general waste.

Weight limits depend on the size of the skip bin starting from 3 cubic meters which can take about 500kg.
or our Purpose Bag – which could take up to 750kg.

We add delivery charges to towns outside of Hamilton. You can check our prices on the bookings page. Extra charges can apply if hire term is extended, the bin is overweight or extra items like car tyres are required to be picked up also.

All bins must be paid for on or before delivery. You can book online via credit card, via bank transfer or cash on delivery.

Skip bins should not be any higher than level with the top edge. This is a NZTA requirement for transporting the bins safely.

Our general waste bins have weight limits as follow: 3m3 – 500kg, 6m3 – 1000kg, 9m3 – 1500kg. Hardfill products like bricks and soil can weigh in excess of 1000kg per cubic meter which can easily cause the bin to go overweight. Bins weighing over specified limits are charged at 20 cents per kilogram ($200 / tonne)

Our green waste bins have the same weight limits as the general waste bins. Bin weighing over the limits are charged at 12 cents per kilogram ($120/tonne)

There are no weight limits on a hardfill
