What Can Go In Your Skip Bin
Three types of waste, pretty straightforward. Get it right and avoid any nasty surprise charges. Plus it helps us keep being good recycling legends.
Clean Fill
Soil, concrete, rocks, bricks, clay, sand, clean tiles. Must be completely clean – no other materials mixed in.
Important: Mixed loads get charged as general waste. Keep it clean to save money.
Weight limits: 3m³: 3000kg | 4.5m³: 4500kg
Where it goes: Clean and hard fill is sent to designated cleanfill sites.
General Waste
Most household and building waste. Timber, plasterboard, packaging, furniture, carpets. No hard fill materials – this includes dirt, concrete, bricks, stone, rocks, sand, clay and soil.
No hard fill: Dirt, concrete, bricks will contaminate the load and cost extra.
💡 Tip: If you have items that might be reusable, place them on top of the skip and let our staff know on pickup. This helps keep good stuff out of landfill.
Weight limits: 3m³: 600kg | 4.5m³: 900kg | 6m³: 1000kg | 9m³: 1500kg
Garden Waste
Trees, plants, grass clippings, tree prunings and any other organic garden material. No food scraps.
Note: Materials that fall outside of this description will contaminate the bin, incurring a contamination fee.
Weight limits: 3m³: 600kg | 4.5m³: 900kg | 6m³: 1000kg | 9m³: 1500kg
Where it goes: All garden waste is sent to a processing site to be turned into soil, compost, bark, woodchips and other landscaping materials that you can buy at our site.

Skip Hire Questions
Can I put the skip on the street?
Sometimes you might need a permit from Auckland Transport if it’s going on the road. We can tell you if you need one when you book.
What if the skip gets too heavy?
We charge $20 per 100kg over the weight limit. Concrete and soil are heavy – might be worth considering a clean fill skip for that stuff instead.
How long can I keep the skip?
Three days minimum, but keep it as long as you need. We don’t charge daily fees – just give us a call when you’re done.
Weekend delivery?
Saturdays yes, Sundays no. Call early enough and we can usually get one out same day Saturday.
What can’t go in?
No liquids, chemicals, paint, oils, asbestos, or anything dodgy. Construction waste, household rubbish, garden waste – all fine. Give us a call if you’re not sure about something.
Can you pick it up early?
Absolutely. Call us and we’ll usually get it within 24 hours. No point keeping it longer than you need.
