What time will my skip bin be delivered?
Because of the traffic in Auckland, we deliver bins in a cycle that best fits the bins going out that day, so we cannot tell you the exact time your bin will arrive. Your bin will arrive any time on the first day of delivery and will be collected any time on the day of collection.
If you need the bin early in the morning, we suggest you book it for the day prior. That guarantees you have it first thing on the day you need it.
Can you deliver down a long or narrow driveway?
Yes. We have a smaller truck made for long, narrow driveways, so we can get a bin in where a full-size truck can't. If you're not sure it'll fit, call the office on 021 288 7742 and we'll talk it through.
What can't go in a skip bin?
In a general rubbish bin, you cannot put concrete, brick, clay, soil, compost or tiles. For these, order a hardfill bin instead.
No bin can take car engines, paint, oil, flammables, asbestos or tyres. If these are found in your bin, an additional charge applies.
What's the difference between a rubbish bin and a hardfill bin?
A general rubbish bin is for general and household rubbish.
A hardfill bin is only for concrete, clay, brick, soil or tiles. No general rubbish is allowed in a hardfill bin.
Every bin size also has its own weight limit. Compare both bin types on the bins and prices page.
What is the skip bin weight limit?
Each bin size has its own weight limit, shown for every size on the Book a Bin page. If a loaded bin goes over its limit, an overweight charge applies.
What happens to my rubbish once it leaves my property?
We take it to Class 1 landfills, where wood, metal and green waste are sorted out and recycled.
Where is my invoice?
If you don't see your invoice, please check your junk mail folder. Invoices often aren't sent until the day of delivery.
Can I pay by credit card?
We don't currently accept credit or debit cards, but we're looking into it. We accept bank transfer, cash on delivery and cheque.
Why did I get an overweight charge?
Each bin has a weight limit that was discussed and accepted when you ordered. If the tip determines your bin exceeded that limit, they charge us a fee based on the extra weight, and that fee is added to your invoice.
