Our Smart Skip Size Finder uses the same rules of thumb our team uses when we quote jobs every day across the Bellarine Peninsula and Geelong’s east. It looks at three things: what kind of job you’re doing, how big the job is and whether your waste is heavy. It then recommends a skip size, explains why, and lets you request a quote with that size already filled in.
It’s a guide, not a guarantee. If your job is unusual, or you’re stuck between two sizes, our team is always happy to help.
Why getting the size right matters
The right skip saves money in two ways. First, you don’t pay for empty space. Second, you avoid needing a second skip halfway through the job, which almost always costs more than starting with the next size up. It also keeps you safe and legal: heavy waste such as soil, concrete and tiles must go into smaller bins to stay within road weight limits.
Skip sizes at a glance
- 3m³ (from $329): bathroom strip-outs, garden tidy-ups, small clean-outs.
- 4m³ to 5m³: garage or shed clean-outs, laundry or kitchen strip-outs, moving house.
- 6m³: our most popular household size, ideal for a kitchen or bathroom renovation.
- 8m³ to 10m³: large renovations, landscaping, whole-house clean-outs and deceased estates.
- 14m³ to 35m³ hook-lift bins: building sites, demolition, commercial fit-outs and bulky light waste.
For a deeper explanation, read our skip bin sizes guide.
Tips for an accurate result
- Count the bulky items. Couches, mattresses and cupboards take up far more space than they seem to.
- Be honest about heavy waste. Even a few square metres of tiles or a small pile of soil changes the recommendation.
- Think about access. If you have a narrow driveway, a smaller skip with a swap-out may work better than one large bin.
- Separate where you can. Clean green waste, soil and concrete are easier to recycle when they’re kept apart.
