Have a heap of earth to get rid of? Our Soil/Dirt Bins are the perfect solution for removing clean fill across Melbourne. Quick Bin Hire delivers dedicated skip bins for soil, clay, and dirt to make excavation or landscaping projects much easier. Don’t bother with endless trailer loads – just toss the earth into our skip, and we’ll haul it away so you can get on with the job.

Soil is very heavy and must be disposed of properly. By using our specialized soil bin, you ensure your excavated dirt (clean fill) is handled correctly and responsibly. Whether you’re digging out a garden bed, clearing clay from a construction site, or excavating for a new pool, our soil bins can handle the weight.

What Can Go in a Soil/Dirt Bin?

• Clean soil and clay: Topsoil, clay, and plain earth/dirt (wet or dry).

• Sand and gravel: Sand, crushed rock, or small gravel mixed in with the soil.

• Turf and roots (minimal): A little bit of grass turf or tiny roots attached to soil clumps (a small amount of greenery is okay).

What Not to Put in a Soil/Dirt Bin

• General or green waste: No household rubbish, construction debris, or large plant matter (branches, big roots) mixed with the soil.

• Contaminated soil: Soil laced with chemicals, oil, asbestos, or other contaminants is not allowed. It must be handled by special hazardous waste services.

• Rocks or concrete chunks: A few small pebbles are fine, but big rocks or chunks of concrete/brick should go in a different bin (e.g. a concrete or mixed waste bin).

Soil/Dirt Bin FAQs

Q: Can I put grass, tree roots, or other organic material in a soil bin?
A: A little bit of lawn turf or very small roots mixed in with the soil is okay (we know it’s hard to avoid). However, please keep large tree roots, stumps, or big bunches of vegetation out of the soil bin. Dispose of those separately – for instance, in a Green Waste Bin or via a specialist if needed.

Q: What if my soil is contaminated or mixed with other waste?
A: Soil contaminated with hazardous substances (like chemicals, oil, or asbestos) cannot go in a standard soil bin – it needs special disposal by licensed experts. Likewise, if your “soil” pile actually has lots of rubble or trash mixed in, let us know. We might recommend using a Mixed Heavy bin or another solution to keep things safe and compliant.
