Quick Size Guide (Port Melbourne)

  • 8–12m³ large: Bulky items, commercial strip-outs

    Tip: Stack flat items first, dismantle bulky pieces, keep loads below the rim.


What You Can / Can’t Put

  • Accepted (typical): Furniture, appliances, metals, dry timber, plastics, cardboard, bricks, concrete, tiles, clean soil, green waste

  • Banned/Restricted: Asbestos, chemicals, liquids, paint, gas cylinders, batteries, medical waste; tyres/mattresses/extinguishers often surcharged

  • Weight & level: Respect provider weight allowances; no over-fill above rim

Choosing the Right Provider

  1. Confirm waste type (light/green/mixed/pure masonry/heavy).

  2. Pick size to your true volume; use hook-lift for dense/heavy loads.

  3. Ask for an all-inclusive quote (delivery, GST, weight, hire days, surcharges).

  4. If street placement, confirm permit lead times & cost.

  5. Tight access/low clearance? Consider Mobile Skips or smaller marrel bins.
