Skip Bin Hire Prices in Sydney
How Much Does Skip Bin Hire Cost in Sydney?
Skip bin prices in Sydney aren’t one-size-fits-all. Your final cost depends on several factors: bin size, waste type, hire duration, and your location. Here’s what you can expect to pay:
Skip Bin Sizes and Prices
2m³ Mini Skip Bins: $350–$500 Perfect for small clean-ups like garage clear-outs, garden tidying, or minor bathroom renovations. These compact bins fit easily in most driveways and handle light household waste efficiently.
3m³–4m³ Medium Skip Bins: $550–$850 Ideal for medium jobs such as bathroom renovations, decluttering multiple rooms, or small landscaping projects. These bins offer excellent value for moderate waste volumes.
6m³ Large Skip Bins: $850–$1,100 Great for big renovations, large landscaping projects, or substantial home clear-outs. Popular with homeowners tackling major decluttering or renovation work.
8m³–10m³ Extra Large Skip Bins: $830–$1,500 Designed for commercial jobs, large construction projects, or major demolition work. These bins provide serious capacity for substantial waste volumes.
Pro Tip: Bigger bins offer better value per cubic metre, but don’t oversize—paying for unused space defeats the purpose of saving money.
How Waste Type Affects Your Skip Bin Price
Different waste types require different disposal methods, which directly impacts pricing:
General Household Waste
Furniture, toys, clothes, light construction materials, and everyday household items fall under standard pricing. This is your baseline rate for mixed household cleanouts.
Green Waste Only
Grass clippings, branches, hedge trimmings, and other garden waste typically cost less to dispose of than general waste. This is because green waste can be recycled into mulch and compost, making disposal cheaper and more environmentally friendly (Sydney Skip Bins, 2025).
Construction and Demolition Waste
Bricks, tiles, concrete, timber, and heavy building materials may affect pricing due to weight considerations. While the bin hire rate stays similar, weight limits become more important with dense materials.
Clean Fill and Soil
Sand, clay, and clean soil often qualify for special rates when uncontaminated. However, these materials are extremely heavy, so smaller bins typically work better and cost less overall.
Additional Items and Special Waste
Some items require special handling and can’t simply be thrown into a skip bin with regular household or construction waste. Because of the extra disposal processes involved, most skip bin providers apply surcharges. These fees vary from company to company, and even by location, but in Sydney you can generally expect to pay around:
- Mattresses: $50–$234 each (though some Sydney providers charge higher, up to $120 per mattress depending on size and disposal method).
- Tyres: $15–$150 each, depending on size (car tyres sit at the lower end, while truck tyres and specialty tyres cost more).
- Whitegoods: Charges may apply with some providers. However, at Matt’s Skip Bins, we don’t add any extra fees for your whitegoods.
- Electronics: Charges may apply with some providers. However, at Matt’s Skip Bins, we don’t add any extra fees for your electronics.
Tip: Always check with your local skip bin hire company before booking, as fees can differ significantly. Adding special items at the time of booking is usually cheaper and avoids surprise charges later.
Standard Skip Bin Hire Duration
Most Sydney skip bin hire companies include 7 days’ hire at no extra cost.
- Finished early? You can usually request collection sooner at no additional charge.
- Need more time? Extra days are generally available for a small daily fee (rates vary by provider).
At Matt’s Skip Bins We also offer same-day delivery across most Sydney areas for urgent jobs. Plus, our flexible scheduling means you can book pick-up and drop-off times to suit your project, not the other way around.
Location-Based Pricing in Sydney
Skip bin hire prices can vary depending on where you’re located. Delivery distances, travel time, and site access all influence the final cost.
- Metro areas: Standard base pricing generally applies.
- Outer suburbs or regional areas: Additional travel fees may be charged.
Remote or hard-to-access locations: Custom quotes are usually required.
Council Permits: When You Need Them
Always check your local NSW council’s regulations for skip bin permits, as fees may apply if approval is required.
Permit costs vary between councils but typically range from $30–$80. We’ll help you identify whether a permit is needed and guide you through the application process if necessary.
Tips to Save on Your Skip Bin Hire Fee
Choose the Right Size the First Time
Two small bins cost more than one appropriately sized bin. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you estimate the right size based on your project description.
Separate Waste Types When Possible
Pure green waste costs less than mixed waste. If you can keep garden waste separate, you’ll save money on disposal fees.
Book in Advance
Booking a day or two ahead secures your preferred delivery time and avoids rush fees for urgent requests.
Consider Weight Limits
Heavy materials like concrete work better in smaller bins due to weight restrictions. This often costs less than trying to fit everything in one large bin.
Bundle Special Items Upfront
Adding mattresses, tyres, or electronics during initial booking costs much less than separate collection services.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size bin do I need?
Every job is different, but as a rough guide, one standard car trailer is around 1 cubic metre. If your rubbish is already sitting in a pile, a rough calculation to measure a cubic metre is the length of the pile x the width x the height = the cubic capacity. Check out our Skip Bin Size page for more information.
What can I put in the bin?
Each waste type is different. See our Waste Types page to make sure you select the correct waste type for your needs. There are a few items that we do not accept in any waste type such as food, liquid, asbestos (we do provide Asbestos-only bins), chemicals, oils, paints, fire extinguishers and gas bottles. There are a couple of items that we do accept but they incur an extra fee, including spring mattresses and tyres.
What if I need to cancel my bin?
Please see our Terms and Conditions page.
How do I pay for my bin?
