skip bin hire

Picking the right skip for your Ormeau block

Ormeau is about as far north as the Gold Coast goes. Over the northern boundary is Yatala, and the Pimpama River runs along the south. In between there's a mix of established housing estates, bigger rural-style blocks and a small pocket of factory units. That variety means there's no single answer to what bin you need. It depends on which part of Ormeau you're in and what you're clearing. Every size we hire, from the 3m³ skip to the 15m³ hook bin, can be delivered here.

Family homes on the estates

Norfolk Village, built around Norfolk Park and Halfway Drive, and Cupania on the northern side are made up mostly of family homes, plus a handful of townhouse complexes. Now that the first stages have some age on them, the usual jobs are garage clean-outs, bathroom updates and garden makeovers. A skip generally goes on the driveway, so get the cars off it the evening before delivery. In a townhouse complex, ask the body corporate where it can sit.

Bigger blocks, longer driveways

Out along Peachey Road, and on the rural holdings off Eggersdorf Road, blocks are bigger and the drive in can be long. Want the bin up near the shed rather than at the gate? Choose ground that's firm and level, and look up for branches or wires that would get in the truck's way. The usual acreage haul is old fencing, the contents of a shed and trees damaged in storms. Prunings on their own suit a Green Waste bin. Mixed rubbish belongs in a General Household skip.

Trade and warehouse units

Around Hopper Avenue, Ormeau's small factory and warehouse units throw up their own kind of rubbish: pallets, packaging and offcuts left over from fit-outs. A General Builders bin is the right type for that mix. In these complexes the shared driveways are often managed by the landlord or a body corporate, so get the okay on where the skip can sit before you book. Checking now saves hassle on delivery day.

Keeping it on your land

A skip that stays within your boundary is permit-free, whether it's on an estate driveway or way up the back of an acreage block. Road, footpath and nature strip placements are another matter: each one requires a City of Gold Coast permit. You arrange it yourself and carry the responsibility, because EZI Skips doesn't lodge permit applications. Work out where the bin will go before you book, so there are no surprises.
