02 · Loading guide
How to load a skip bin safely.
A well-packed bin holds more and can be collected safely. Follow these five tips.
Heavy items first
Put bricks, concrete and other heavy waste on the bottom so the load stays stable.
Break things down
Take furniture apart, flatten boxes and cut long branches. You'll fit far more in.
Use the walk-in door
On 3m³ bins and larger, open the door and wheel your barrow straight in. Close it before collection.
Fill the gaps
Pack smaller items into the spaces between big ones instead of leaving air pockets.
Stop at the top edge
Keep the load level with the top of the bin, with nothing sticking out over the sides, so it can be transported safely.
Quick answersAsked every day
Can I put it in a skip bin? Six items people ask about most.
Can I put a mattress in a skip bin?
Yes. Mattresses are welcome in our skip bins at no extra charge.
Can I put concrete or bricks in a skip bin?
Yes. They're heavy waste, so tell us roughly how much you have when you book and we'll recommend the right bin. See construction skip bins.
Can I put paint in a skip bin?
No. Take unwanted household paint to a Paintback drop-off point, which is free.
Can I put electronics or appliances in a skip bin?
Since 2019 it's been illegal to send e-waste to landfill in Victoria: anything with a plug, battery or cord, including TVs, computers and whitegoods. So they can't go in a skip bin. Take them to an e-waste drop-off instead.
Can I mix green waste with general waste?
Tell us what's going in when you book, because the waste type affects your quote.
How full can I fill a skip bin?
No higher than its top edge, with nothing sticking out over the sides. An overfilled bin can't be transported safely.
