How to Choose the Right Skip Bin Size for Your Project in Morayfield

How to Choose the Right Skip Bin Size for Your Project

When it comes to hiring a skip bin, choosing the right size can save you time, money, and stress. If the bin’s too small, you’ll run out of space. Too big, and you’ll end up paying for unused capacity. Here’s a simple guide from Moreton Bay Skips to help you pick the perfect size for your job.

1. Estimate Your Waste Volume

Start by thinking about how much rubbish you’ll have. A standard trailer load equals roughly 1 cubic metre.
So, if you have around four trailer loads of waste, you’ll likely need a 4m³ skip.

Bin SizeApprox. Trailer LoadsIdeal For

3m³3 trailer loads Small clean-ups, garden waste

4m³4 trailer loads Household clean-ups, light renovations

6m³6 trailer loads Kitchen/bathroom renovations

8m³+8+ trailer loads Construction, large demolitions

2. Consider the Type of Waste

Different waste types may require specific bins.

General Waste: household rubbish, furniture, and plastics.
Green Waste: branches, grass, and garden cuttings.
Mixed Heavy Waste: concrete, bricks, soil, and tiles.
Asbestos Waste: Hazardous asbestos waste requires an EPA license for anything over 250kg.

If you’re unsure, our team can recommend the most suitable skip bin for your materials.

3. Check Your Access Space

Make sure there’s enough space on your property for the truck to deliver and collect the bin safely. Our experienced drivers are happy to help you choose the best placement.

4. Ask the Experts

If you’re still not sure, just give Moreton Bay Skips a call. We’ll help you select the right size and type of bin for your project — no guesswork, no extra costs.

⚠️ Asbestos and Skip Bins – Essential Information for North Brisbane Homeowners

In North Brisbane, asbestos continues to be one of the most hazardous and misunderstood types of waste. Whether you’re renovating a backyard, demolishing an old shed, or upgrading your home, asbestos can still appear in general rubbish, green bins, or — in the worst cases — dumped illegally in bushland or construction skips.

Mistakes can be costly. Handling asbestos incorrectly can lead to severe fines, contaminated worksites, and serious long-term health risks.

If asbestos is involved, you need to know the rules. Don’t take shortcuts.

Legal Requirements for Transporting Asbestos

Queensland law sets strict limits on moving asbestos:

Any transport of over 175kg of asbestos waste requires an Environmental Authority (EA).
If you’re moving more than 250kg, you must hold relevant licenses. You must complete waste tracking documentation.

These rules exist to ensure asbestos is always handled by trained, licensed professionals. Breaking the law can result in heavy penalties and puts everyone at risk.

Why DIY Asbestos Removal Is Dangerous

Asbestos fibres are tiny and invisible to the naked eye, yet extremely harmful when inhaled. Handling asbestos yourself — whether at home or on a job site — can release fibres into your car, trailer, or neighbourhood, putting you and others in danger.

Even small amounts require specialist training and equipment to manage safely. The risk is simply not worth it.

Homeowner Advice: What to Do if You Find Asbestos

If you come across asbestos on your property:

Stop work immediately.
Do not touch, cut, or disturb it.
Note the location and type without moving it.
Call a licensed asbestos removal contractor — they are trained to remove, transport, and dispose of asbestos safely.

Only licensed contractors can hire asbestos skips from Moreton Bay Skip Bins, ensuring legal and secure disposal.

Take the Safe Route

Asbestos is highly regulated for a reason. If you’re not licensed, you’re not covered — and the risks are too high to guess. Let Moreton Bay Skip Bins help licensed contractors manage asbestos safely, legally, and efficiently in North Brisbane.
