Rubbish And Waste Types

Waste Types, and Why It’s Important

Certain types of waste are prohibited from being placed in skip bins by law.

In addition, the dumps where we dispose of your waste have very strict guidelines, which we are bound to abide by.

It is critical that you correctly identify the type of waste you are going to place in your bin to avoid additional charges imposed by the disposal facility.

We deal with green waste removal in Melbourne as well as hard rubbish, please see details below:

General Waste

Accepted Waste Items

General household waste – Boxes, light timber, furniture, white goods, electrical appliances, clothes, toys, carpet, green waste (additional costs apply to remove mattress, televisions, monitors, tyres, gas bottles, carpet & instant turf).

Prohibited Waste Items

Bricks, pavers, tiles, concrete, small stones, rocks, food (putrid) waste, asbestos, liquid waste (paints, oils, thinners, chemicals), plaster, heavy timber, tree trunks, sleepers are not accepted as general waste.

Special Instructions

We can advise you on removing prohibited items, often at low or no cost. Plaster and heavy timber’s is in the mixed heavy rates below.

Heavy Waste

Accepted Waste Items

Bricks, pavers, tiles, concrete and rocks are accepted by the recyclable quarry waste.

Please note – No other waste types can be included, We recycle 100% of heavy waste but it cannot be recycled if it’s mixed with any general waste. So it’s a strict policy of not mixing any other waste, not even the smallest amount.

If you have other waste we can do it separately at the lower rate applicable to that waste type as we do not charge for callouts or time.

A1 Service!!A big thank you to the team at Easy Skip Hire, especially Steve and Chayse.They were early, respected the property and professional from the outset.Easy Skip Hire were referred to me by the Wyndham Council and my experience with them tells me why.Not only did they do a fantastic job in clearing and removing the rubbish, but they were methodical as to how the loaded the skip to ensure I was getting the most efficient use of the volume.The crew onsite were professional, kept me in the informed along the way and I genuinely felt they were trying to help me out.I was impressed with the finer details too.Such as being careful with moving the rubbish and not damaging anything.Even the way they parked the truck is worth mentioning – as they didn’t have it reversed all the way onto the driveway, to ensure they didn’t crack the concrete etc.The guys ended up moving 14 cubic metres of rubbish for me and boy did they do it quick – Less than an hour!!I highly recommend them and they will be my "go to" with all my rubbish removal in the future.Thank you again Steve, Chayse and the team at Easy Skip Hire!
