Skip Bins for Home Renovations and Property Projects
Home improvement is booming across the Bellarine. Older beach houses are being renovated into permanent homes, family homes in Leopold, Drysdale and St Albans Park are getting new kitchens and extensions, and new homeowners in Armstrong Creek and Curlewis are landscaping blank backyards. Every one of those projects creates waste, and a residential skip bin is the simplest way to manage it.
While our household service is about clearing clutter, our residential skip bin hire is built around property projects: renovations, extensions, landscaping, strata and rental property works and preparing a home for sale.
Common Residential Projects We Support
- Kitchen renovations. Old cabinets, benchtops, splashbacks, flooring and appliances. A 6m³ skip suits most kitchens.
- Bathroom and laundry renovations. Tiles, render, vanities, baths and toilets are heavy, so a 3m³–5m³ skip is usually right.
- Flooring replacement. Old carpet, underlay, floating floors and timber boards are bulky but light.
- Extensions and alterations. Demolished walls, framing, plaster, cladding and roofing.
- Landscaping. Turf, soil, rocks, old retaining walls, pavers and green waste. Soil and rock need smaller bins because of weight.
- Decks and pergolas. Old timber decking, posts, sheeting and screws.
- Pre-sale and rental turnovers. Clearing rubbish so a property can be photographed, inspected or re-let.
Protecting Your Driveway and Property
A skip bin sitting on your driveway for a week shouldn’t leave a mark. We take care when placing every residential skip and can put timber boards under the bin to help spread the load and protect concrete, pavers and exposed aggregate. Let us know if your driveway is new, decorative or sloping, and we’ll plan the placement accordingly.
On coastal properties in Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Point Lonsdale and St Leonards, we also watch for soft sand verges and narrow streets. In heritage areas like Queenscliff and East Geelong, we take extra care with tight access and period front fences.
Driveway or Road: Do You Need a Permit?
If the skip sits on your driveway or within your property boundary, a permit generally isn’t needed. If it must go on the road, footpath or nature strip, you may need a permit from your council. Most of our service area is covered by the City of Greater Geelong, while Queenscliff and parts of Point Lonsdale are in the Borough of Queenscliffe. Organise the permit before your delivery date so the skip can be placed without delays.
Being a Good Neighbour During Your Renovation
Renovations can test the patience of neighbours. A tidy skip goes a long way. Keep waste inside the bin, don’t fill above the rim, and cover light materials like insulation and packaging on windy days, which on the Bellarine is most days. Let neighbours know when the skip will arrive and leave so they can plan around it.
Heavy Waste and Weight Limits
Renovations often create heavy waste: tiles, bricks, concrete, render, soil and rubble. These materials are much heavier per cubic metre than general waste, so the skip can reach its legal road weight before it looks full. We’ll recommend a smaller bin for heavy loads, or a separate bin for heavy and light waste, to keep you safe and avoid overweight charges.
Asbestos in Older Homes
Many homes built before 1990 contain asbestos in places like eaves, wet-area wall sheeting, vinyl floor tiles and fences. If you’re renovating an older property, have suspect materials checked before work starts. Asbestos must be removed by a licensed professional and can’t go in a residential skip.
Book Your Residential Skip
Get your renovation started on the right foot. Our 3m³ skips start from $329, and we’ll quickly quote any size from 4m³ to 35m³. Request a quote online or call us to talk through your project.
Walk-In Door Skip Bins: No Heavy Lifting
Ask about our skip bins with a walk-in door. Instead of lifting heavy waste over the side, you can wheel a barrow straight in. That makes a big difference with:
- Tiles, bricks, pavers and concrete
- Soil, rubble and garden waste
- Heavy furniture and appliances
✔ Usually accepted
- General household waste and furniture
- Green waste, branches and garden clippings
- Timber, plasterboard and renovation debris
- Bricks, concrete, tiles and soil (in suitable bins)
- Metals, cardboard and packaging
✖ Not accepted
- Asbestos or asbestos-containing material
- Liquid paint, oils, solvents and chemicals
- Gas bottles, batteries and car batteries
- Tyres and e-waste (TVs, computers)
- Food scraps, clinical or hazardous waste

Residential Skip Bin Hire FAQs
What size skip do I need for a kitchen renovation?
Most kitchen renovations fit into a 6m³ skip. If you're also replacing flooring or removing walls, an 8m³ skip may be a better choice.
Will a skip bin damage my driveway?
We take care with every placement, and we can use timber boards under the skip to help protect your driveway. Let us know if it's new, decorative or sloping.
Can I put soil and turf in a residential skip?
Yes. Soil and turf are heavy, so they usually need a smaller skip, typically up to 6m³. Let us know so we can recommend the right bin.
How long can I keep a skip for a renovation?
Hire periods are flexible. Tell us how long your renovation will run and we'll include the right hire period in your quote.
Do I need a permit for a skip on the nature strip?
Generally yes. Skips on roads, footpaths or nature strips usually require a council permit from the City of Greater Geelong or the Borough of Queenscliffe, depending on your address.
