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.
