What 7 Skip Bins does
7 Skip Bins hires out skip bins across Sydney. A customer selects the type of waste they need to dispose of, chooses a bin size, nominates a delivery address and date, and the bin is dropped at the location they specify. The customer fills it at their own pace, and the company collects it when they are ready. Waste is then sorted, with recyclable material diverted from landfill where possible.
The company positions itself on affordability and turnaround rather than scale, and states a 24-hour turnaround on enquiries. It describes its focus as diverting waste from landfill through recycling and resource recovery. Full background is on the About page.

Skip bin sizes
All bins are Marrel skip bins. The company advises hiring a bin slightly larger than estimated, since ordering a second bin costs more than sizing up once. Dimensions and stated capacities are below; the full guide is on the skip bin size page.
| Size | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Capacity | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2m³ | 1.9m × 1.5m × 1.0m | 2 tonne | Small clean-ups, party rubbish, shed clear-outs, small gardening jobs |
| 4m³ | 2.5m × 1.7m × 1.0m | 4 tonne | Standard household clean-ups, small kitchen or bathroom renovations |
| 5m³ | 3.4m × 1.7m × 1.0m | 5 tonne | Household and garden clean-ups, small renovations |
| 6m³ | 3.4m × 1.7m × 1.3m | 6 tonne | Medium renovations, bulky items such as furniture and fridges |
| 7m³ | 3.7m × 1.7m × 1.3m | 7 tonne | Large household clean-ups, renovations, construction sites |
| 9m³ | 4.0m × 1.7m × 1.6m | 9 tonne | Large renovations, warehouse and industrial clean-outs |
| 10m³ | 4.3m × 1.7m × 1.65m | 10 tonne | Very large clean-ups and industrial clear-outs |
| 12m³ | 4.6m × 1.7m × 1.75m | 12 tonne | Very large annual household, commercial or industrial clean-outs |
Waste types accepted
Waste type is selected first in the booking process, because it determines which bins can be used and how the load is processed. The five categories are:
General waste
Household, office, commercial, industrial and warehouse rubbish — kitchenware, books, papers, bedding, appliances, tools, clothes, toys, furniture, cardboard, stationery and garage junk. Excludes building, construction and renovation waste.
Mixed waste
Everything permitted in general waste, plus demolition, construction and renovation material such as brick, concrete, tiles, stone, rock, timber, gyprock, cement, rubble, plastic, metal and steel. No weight limit applies.
Green waste
Garden and landscaping waste only — trunks, branches, lawn and grass clippings, plant clippings, shrubs, twigs, woodchips, bark and untreated timber. Must contain no other material, including soil.
Bricks, concrete, sandstone and roof tiles
Clean recyclable hardfill only — bricks, concrete, bitumen or asphalt, terracotta or concrete roof tiles, and sandstone. No weight limit. Must contain no other material, including soil.
Soil, clay and sand
Must be 100% soil, clay and sand. Naturally occurring stone, rock and sandstone under 150mm is permitted. No weight limit. Must contain no other material.
Not accepted: hazardous waste does not go in a standard skip bin. This includes materials such as asbestos, chemicals, paint, gas bottles, batteries and liquids. See hazardous waste in skip bins for how to dispose of these separately, and safe battery disposal.
How hiring a skip bin works
- Select the waste type — general, mixed, green, hardfill, or soil/clay/sand. If the load contains brick and concrete, the proportion is declared at this point.
- Set the location and dates — the delivery address and the dates for drop-off and collection.
- Choose a bin size — from 2m³ to 12m³.
- Enter contact details.
- Confirm the order.
Bookings can also be placed by phone on 1300 701 701. Enquiries submitted through the website receive a response within 24 hours. Delivery requires adequate truck access to the placement site — see truck access requirements.
Council permits
In New South Wales, a skip bin placed on private property does not require a council permit. A permit may be required if the bin is placed on public property such as a street or nature strip. Requirements and fees vary between councils — some charge, some do not.
7 Skip Bins has collated permit forms for NSW councils including Auburn City, Bayside, Camden, Campbelltown City, Blacktown, City of Canada Bay, Canterbury-Bankstown, City of Parramatta, Randwick and City of Ryde, with public liability documentation available for download. See the council permit page.

Frequently asked questions
What areas does 7 Skip Bins service?
7 Skip Bins delivers across the Sydney metropolitan area in New South Wales, covering the Inner West, Western Sydney, the Sutherland Shire, the St George area, the Hills District, the Northern Suburbs and the Eastern Suburbs. Around 56 suburbs and local government areas have dedicated service pages, ranging from Parramatta and Blacktown to Manly, Caringbah and Mount Colah.
What size skip bin do I need?
Bins run from 2m³ to 12m³. A 2m³ bin suits a shed clear-out or small garden job; 4m³ to 5m³ covers a standard household clean-up or a small bathroom or kitchen renovation; 6m³ to 7m³ handles medium to large renovations and bulky furniture; and 9m³ and above is for large construction, warehouse or industrial clear-outs. 7 Skip Bins recommends sizing up rather than risking a second bin, which costs more overall.
How much does it cost to hire a skip bin in Sydney?
Price depends on the bin size, the type of waste, the hire period and the delivery suburb. Heavier waste streams and larger bins cost more. 7 Skip Bins does not publish a single flat rate; a quote can be obtained online or by calling 1300 701 701. The factors involved are explained in the company's guide to skip bin hire costs.
Do I need a council permit for a skip bin?
Not if the bin sits entirely on your own private property. A permit may be required if it is placed on public land such as the street or nature strip, and the process, fees and turnaround vary from council to council. 7 Skip Bins provides collated NSW council permit forms and public liability documentation to make the application easier.
What can't go in a skip bin?
Hazardous waste cannot go in a standard skip bin — this includes asbestos, chemicals, paint, liquids, gas bottles and batteries. Beyond that, restrictions depend on the waste type booked: green waste bins must contain no soil or other material, and hardfill bins (bricks, concrete, sandstone, roof tiles) must contain nothing but clean recyclable hardfill. General waste bins cannot take construction or renovation debris; that requires a mixed waste booking.
How long can I keep the skip bin?
The hire period is set when the booking is placed — the delivery date and collection date are both nominated at step two of the online order. If more time is needed, contact 7 Skip Bins on 1300 701 701 to arrange it.
What access does the delivery truck need?
The truck needs clear, unobstructed access to the placement point, with enough overhead clearance and room to manoeuvre. Low branches, power lines, narrow driveways, parked cars and soft ground can all prevent placement. Requirements are detailed on the company's truck access page.
What happens to the waste after collection?
Collected waste is taken for sorting, with recyclable material recovered and diverted from landfill where possible. 7 Skip Bins states that landfill diversion through recycling and resource recovery is central to how it operates. The process is described in what happens to waste after it goes into a skip bin.
Can I stop neighbours putting rubbish in my skip?
It is a common problem, particularly with bins left on the street overnight. Practical measures include placing the bin on private property where possible, covering it, and filling it promptly rather than leaving it standing. 7 Skip Bins covers the options in can I prevent my neighbours from using my skip.
How do I book a skip bin?
Either use the five-step online booking form at 7skipbins.com.au — waste type, location and dates, bin size, contact details, confirm — or call 1300 701 701 during trading hours (Monday to Friday 7:00am–5:00pm, Saturday 7:00am–2:00pm). Website enquiries receive a response within 24 hours.
