General waste bins are ideal when you have typical light waste and no heavy debris. Load up old furniture, toys, appliances, and more.

With our skip on site, cleaning up is a breeze – and we’ll ensure your waste is handled responsibly.

What Can Go in a General Waste Bin?

• Household & office junk: Old furniture, mattresses, electronics, toys, clothes, paper, cardboard, and general clutter from your home or workplace clean-ups.

• Light renovation debris: Timber off-cuts, broken tiles, plasterboard scraps, even old carpet from small DIY projects or renovations.

• Miscellaneous rubbish: Packaging materials, empty boxes, and other non-hazardous trash that doesn’t fit in your wheelie bin.

What Not to Put in a General Waste Bin

• Heavy materials: No bricks, concrete, soil, stones, or tiles (use a different bin type for these heavy items).

• Hazardous waste: No asbestos, chemicals, paints, oils, batteries, or gas cylinders – these require special disposal.

• Food waste: Please no food scraps or other wet, smelly waste (to prevent bad odors during your bin hire).

• Special items: Electronics, tyres, and medical or bio-waste aren’t allowed in general waste bins and need separate handling.

General Waste Bin FAQs

Q: Do I need a council permit for a skip bin in Melbourne?
A: If your skip stays on private property (like your driveway), no permit is needed. On a public road or nature strip, most Melbourne councils do require a short-term permit. Don’t worry – Quick Bin Hire will help you sort it out during booking.

Q: What happens to my waste after you collect the bin?
A: We sort through your skip for any recyclables (metal, wood, plastic, etc.) and recycle those first. The rest goes to a licensed Melbourne landfill or processing facility. We always aim to minimize landfill use and dispose of waste safely according to regulations.
