2m³ skip bin or 3m³ skip bin?

Both are 1.5 metres wide. The difference is length, height, and how you load them.

Small skip bin hire for tight driveways

Grab a tape. Measure the narrowest point of the space, such as gate posts or the gap beside the car, then how much length you can give up. Enter both and see each bin on your driveway.

  • Both minis need a width of at least 1.5 m
  • 2m³ mini skip needs a length of 1.8 m
  • 3m³ skip bin needs a length of 2.4 m

This checks the bin's footprint only. Gates, carports, overhead wires and slopes matter too, so mention them when you book.

A skip bin for small jobs

A mini skip suits a job you can point at: one room, one space, one weekend. If the clean-up keeps growing, step up a size.

  • Single room or garage tidy

    2m³

    Old shelving, boxes, broken chairs and bagged rubbish. Take the 3m³ if there's bulky furniture to walk in.

  • Small garden clean-up

    2m³ or 3m³

    Prunings, a hedge trim and pulled-out plants. All green waste? See green waste skip bins.

  • Light bathroom strip-out

    3m³

    Vanity, cabinets and fittings. The door makes carrying things in easier. Lots of tiles or rubble? That's heavy waste, so call first.

When to size up from a mini skip

The minis are the first two steps. Every size above them is the same 1.5 m wide.

Heavy waste? Call first

Soil, bricks, concrete and tiles are dense and fill a bin fast. Call 0411 131 044 before you book and we'll help you pick the right bin.

More than one room's worth

Clearing several rooms or a full renovation? A 4m³ or bigger does it in one go. Compare them on skip bin sizes.

Still not sure?

Describe the job in a sentence when you call, and we'll suggest the bin.

Measured answers

Mini skip hire questions

  • What is a mini skip?

    Our smallest skip bin: the 2m³, which is 1.8 m long, 1.5 m wide and 0.9 m high and holds about 8 wheelie bins. It's loaded over the side and has no door. If you need a bit more room, the 3m³ is the step up.

  • Will a mini skip fit on my driveway?

    If the space is at least 1.5 m wide and 1.8 m long, the 2m³ footprint fits. The 3m³ needs 2.4 m of length. Measure at the narrowest point, try the fit check, and tell us about gates, carports or overhead wires when you book.

  • How much fits in a mini skip bin?

    About 8 wheelie bins' worth in the 2m³ mini skip and about 12 in the 3m³. That suits a contained job, like a single room or a garage clear-out.

  • Is a mini skip big enough for a bathroom renovation?

    For a light strip-out of a vanity, cabinets and fittings, the 3m³ usually suits, and its walk-in door makes carrying things in easier. If you're removing lots of tiles, rubble or a concrete floor, that's heavy waste, so call us on 0411 131 044 first and we'll help you pick the right bin.
