CARTIf you need to hire a skip bin for residential or industrial rubbish removal, choosing the right skip bin size is essential. There’s no reason to pay for space you don’t need, but you also don’t want to be left with extra rubbish. Matt’s Skip Hire offers a wide range of bins to suit any project, big or small.
Skip Bin Sizes
Our size chart shows the exact dimensions of every skip bin we offer. Mini skips are perfect for tasks like spring cleaning, moving house or tree pruning, while our larger bins are ideal for large-scale demolitions, deceased estates or large tree removals. For landscapers, builders or roofers, these larger sizes are highly recommended and perfectly suited for your type of work.
Amongst our bin sizes, we go the extra mile and include flexible delivery and pick up services to make it an easy and convenient process for our clients. We always aim to deliver your bins promptly on your selected delivery date. Delays can occasionally occur during peak times or due to unforeseen circumstances, so it’s best to book in advance to secure your bin when needed.
Choosing the right skip bin depends on your project size and waste type. Smaller bins are suitable for household cleanups, while larger ones are recommended for renovations or construction. If you’re unsure, contact our team for expert advice. Once you’ve made your choice, book your bin online for easy delivery and pick-up throughout Western Sydney, Penrith, and the greater Sydney area.

Which Skip Bin Size is Right For Me?
Choosing the right skip bin size involves a few key considerations. You’ll need to think about the type of waste you’re disposing of, the volume of waste and the size of the materials. These factors will help you find a bin that’s both cost-effective and suitable for your project.
To make sure you choose the correct size, it’s a good idea to organise the waste before ordering your bin. If you’re not able to fully sort everything out, at least create a rough list of things you will dispose of. By sorting through what you’re disposing of, you’ll have a better sense of how much waste there is and whether you’ll need a larger or smaller skip. Many people tend to underestimate the size they need, so pre-sorting can help prevent ordering the wrong bin.
If you can’t organise the waste beforehand, take a moment to assess the types and sizes of items you’ll be throwing away. This quick assessment can give you a general idea of what skip size you’ll require. And if you’re still unsure, feel free to give us a call – we can help you narrow down the best option based on your waste.
Check out this quick graphic guide below to give you an idea what bin sizes are usually suitable for.
Before ordering a skip bin, it’s important to consider where it will be placed. The location plays a key role, as you might not have enough space for larger bins. That’s why we recommend deciding on the placement of your skip bin ahead of time to ensure it fits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What do I do if I need to get a bigger bin size midway?
If you realise you need a bigger bin size midway through, we recommend you continue filling up your current bin to the recommended capacity then order a second bin for the rest of the waste.
How do I know how much each skip bin can hold?
You can easily identify how much each skip bin can hold by checking out the measurements in the estimator table. Here you will find the length, width and height, giving you a good idea of each bin’s size. If you would like further information on how much each skip holds, just give our friendly staff a call and they can let you know how many wheelie bins worth of waste can go into the one you are interested in.
How do I decide the best skip bin size for me?
In order to help you decide on the best skip size, we have put as much detail as possible on all skip sizes from the measurements to the recommended situations it is perfect for. Furthermore, we also have an estimator table that compares the measurements of all skip sizes. If you need further help finding the right size, you can read our blog on which bin size would be best for you. Or you can give our friendly staff a call on 02 4708 2927.
If a skip bin doesn't have a door, how do I get heavy objects in?
Whereas most of our skip bin sizes come with a door for easy access, our 2 cubic metre skip bins are the only ones that don’t come with a door due to their smaller size. If you are looking to get a heavy object, such as a washing machine, into the skip, we recommend getting someone else to help you put it in. If you need to put dirt or other heavy materials in, you can alternatively create a makeshift ramp (from bricks and timber, etc.) for your wheelbarrow if you cannot get assistance.
What size would be best for a house clean up?
If you are cleaning up your house, we have a few skip bins that would be perfect for you depending on your circumstances. If you are just doing a small spring clean, our 2 cubic metre skip bins would be ideal. If you are moving to a new house and need to do a thorough cleaning, then our 6 cubic metre skip bin would certainly fit your situation. To get the best match for you, our staff would love to help! Simply give us a call on 02 4708 2927.
What skip size would you recommend for a worksite?
When it comes to worksites, depending on your situation, we have plenty of skip sizes available. For a large-scale worksite, our 9 cubic metre and 10 cubic metre skip bins would suit this situation best. For smaller sites, an 8 cubic metre skip would fit the job smoothly! If you are still unsure about which size you should get, just give us a call on 02 4708 2927 and we can help you select the right skip for your worksite.
