Your skip bin questions, answered
Delivery, hire length, permits, heavy waste, cancellations and what has to stay out of the bin.
How much notice do you need to deliver a skip bin?
We need at least 36 hours, so book before midday and your bin can arrive the next day. Choose AM or PM when you book. It is a preference rather than a set time, and the driver calls ahead.
How long is the hire period?
Every bin comes with two weeks (14 days) of hire. Need longer? Add an extra week or unlimited hire when you book, or call us before pick-up and we will extend it.
Do I need a council permit for a skip bin?
Not if the bin sits on your own property. If it has to go on the road, footpath or nature strip, you need council approval: a City of Gold Coast permit in Queensland, or Tweed Shire Council approval in NSW. Arranging it is up to you, and so is the responsibility for it.
What can't go in a skip bin?
Asbestos, tyres and batteries are banned from every bin. So are gas bottles, liquids, wet paint and cement, food scraps, polystyrene and chemicals.
Can I put soil or concrete in the bin?
Yes, within weight limits. Soil and dirt go in a 4m³ bin at most, concrete and masonry in a 6m³ bin at most, and bins of 6m³ or more take no soil at all. Got more than that? Call us and we will split it across bins.
Are there weight limits on general and green waste?
Mixed general waste includes 150kg per cubic metre, and green waste is limited to 500kg per cubic metre. Whatever the waste, please keep it below the fill line.
What if I need to cancel?
There is no charge if you cancel more than 48 hours before delivery. Inside 48 hours, a $50 cancellation fee applies.
Where do you deliver?
Kingscliff to Coomera, and a little further: every Gold Coast suburb from Ormeau and Coomera down to Coolangatta, across the border to Tweed Heads and along the Tweed Coast to Pottsville, and inland to Nerang, Mudgeeraba and Murwillumbah.
Can you deliver to the Tweed in NSW?
Yes. We cover Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Terranora, Kingscliff, Cudgen, Kings Forest, Casuarina, Cabarita Beach, Pottsville, Murwillumbah and Tumbulgum. Our delivery windows are on Queensland time, so they sit an hour behind NSW clocks during daylight saving.
Who runs EZI Skips?
EZI Skips is owned and operated by BOSH Bins, a Gold Coast skip bin company based in Burleigh Heads. Your bin comes from the same yard and team.
Who takes my payment?
Payments are processed securely by Stripe for East Coast Waste Pty Ltd, the company behind BOSH Bins and EZI Skips, so you may see either name on the payment page or your card statement. We never see or store your card details.
Still have a question?
Call us and you will talk to someone local who knows the Gold Coast.
