Correct Selection Makes Perfection
Choosing the correct skip bin size can save you time, money, and unnecessary hassle. Whether you’re doing a home renovation, garden cleanup, or a large construction project, the right skip bin ensures your waste is managed safely and efficiently. At Bloom Skip Bins, we provide a range of skip sizes for every type of job across Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs.
Understand What You’re Disposing Of…
Before choosing a skip, take a look at the type and volume of waste you’ll generate. Common categories include:
Knowing your waste type helps you select the correct skip class and avoid extra disposal fees.
| Skip Bin Size | Approx. Wheelie Bin Equivalent | Ideal For |
| 2m³ | 8 wheelie bins | Small household cleanups |
| 3m³ | 12 wheelie bins | Garage or shed clear-outs |
| 4m³ | 16 wheelie bins | Garage or household clear-outs |
| 6m³ | 25 wheelie bins | Medium renovations or landscaping |
| 8m³ | 35 wheelie bins | Builders, demolition, or large home cleanups |
| 10m³ | 45+ wheelie bins | Commercial projects or bulk waste removal |
If you’re unsure, always choose the next size up — it’s more cost-effective than ordering a second bin later.
Consider Your Site Access
Think about where the skip bin will be placed:
- Ensure there’s enough clear space for delivery trucks to access.
- Avoid overhead wires, trees, or narrow driveways.
- If your bin needs to be placed on the street, council permits may apply (we can help organise these).
A larger skip might need more clearance than you expect.
Think About the Duration of Your Project
For short weekend cleanups, a smaller skip might do. But for multi-day projects like renovations or landscaping, a larger bin with longer hire period is usually more practical. Bloom Skip Bins offers flexible hire durations so you can work at your own pace.
