What construction waste streams do you cover?
We cover all construction and demolition waste: mixed C&D waste, clean fill and soil, concrete and brick, timber, plasterboard, metal, and asbestos (both friable and bonded). We also handle excavation waste and spoil removal. Each stream has different disposal costs — concrete recycling costs $15–$45/tonne versus $80+ for mixed C&D to landfill.
Can you help with waste management for a single building project?
Yes. Whether it is a residential renovation or a multi-storey commercial build, we set up project-specific waste plans. For a typical residential demolition, skip bin costs range from $350-$800 depending on size (2-10m³). We negotiate project rates with licensed providers.
Do you handle contaminated soil disposal?
Yes. Contaminated soil is classified as prescribed industrial waste under EPA Victoria regulations. Disposal costs range from $80-$400+ per tonne depending on contamination type (Category C to Category A). We connect you with licensed transporters and receivers, and negotiate the best rates for your contamination classification.
How quickly can you arrange skip bin delivery?
Standard delivery is next business day for metro Melbourne. For urgent projects, same-day delivery is available before 2pm for most sizes (2m³ to 30m³). Walk-in bins for tight-access sites typically require 48 hours notice. We coordinate directly with providers to ensure bins arrive when your project schedule demands.
What are typical skip bin hire costs in Melbourne?
Melbourne skip bin costs vary by size: 2m³ mini skips ($250–$350), 4m³ ($380–$520), 6m³ ($450–$650), 8m³ ($550–$780), and 10m³+ ($700–$1,200). These include delivery, collection, and disposal. Prices depend on waste type — clean concrete is cheapest, mixed C&D with timber costs more. We benchmark these rates against current market pricing.
Do I need a council permit for a skip bin on the street?
Yes, if the skip bin is placed on a public road, footpath, or nature strip, you need a permit from your local council. Permit fees in Melbourne range from $50-50 per week depending on the municipality. Most councils require traffic management plans for bins on busy roads. We handle permit coordination as part of our service.
What is a Construction Waste Management Plan and do I need one?
A Construction Waste Management Plan (CWMP) is required under most Victorian council planning permits for projects over $50,000. It details how waste streams will be separated, recycled, and disposed of. The target is typically 80%+ diversion from landfill. We help prepare CWMPs and implement the waste stream separation on-site.
