Am I locked in to the confirmed delivery and collection dates?
No. We understand that plans can change. If you need to change your delivery or collection date, simply provide at least 24 hours’ notice, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request, subject to availability
Are we an environmentally friendly skip provider?
With society moving towards a greener lifestyle, skip bin suppliers are finding new ways to ensure they can recycle a large percentage of the waste placed in skip bins. Cleanfill or hardfill waste streams are redirected to recycling facilities to be recycled into hard rubble for laying roads. Green waste skips are being redirected to landscaping facilities to be turned into mulch.
Can I arrange a skip bin to be delivered on a weekend?
Yes. We are operational six (6) days a week and can deliver skip bins to you on Saturday.
Building or Renovating
Depending of the scale of your job of course, usually this is enough for a small paving job, or a garden renovation where lawn etc is being removed. There is often more waste left over on these types of jobs so a little bigger is always best.
We recommend a 7.5 to a 9 cubic metre skip bin when building or renovating.
Can I pay by credit card?
Yes, we accept payment over the phone with our office, drivers do not carry EFTPOS facilities etc.
Can I put a computer or a television in my bin?
Yes. You need to let us know if you are, and then place it on top.
There are a number of local companies that deal with e-waste:

Can I put my bin in my garage / What sort of access do you need?
NO our trucks work with a hoist system that lifts the bin up then lowers it off the back of the truck, therefore the bin cannot be placed under things such as trees, carports and garages. You need to allow clearance of approximately 5 metres in height.
If I want the skip for longer, is there an additional charge?
Yes. Our standard hire period is 7 days. If you need the skip for longer, additional rental charges may apply. We keep our extended hire rates competitive, so if you need a little extra time, just let us know and we’ll work with you to find the best option
To what level can I fill the skip?
Skip bins can be filled up to the top only. All waste must be contained within the bin, with nothing protruding above the top. Overloaded bins are unsafe, pose a risk to our drivers and other road users, and may not be collected until the excess material has been removed. This is a requirement to comply with Workplace Health and Safety and transport regulations. Charges could apply.
What happens if I overload the skip?
We can only remove skips that are filled level to the top of the bin with no materials protruding. If the skip is overloaded, we will arrange for an additional bin to be delivered (at the customers cost) and the customer will be asked to unload the excess waste that is protruding. Overloaded bins are dangerous and create safety risks. Over loaded bins will not be collected.
What is the cost to hire your skip bins?
The cost of hiring a skip bin with Melville Bin Hire depends on the bin size, the type of waste you are disposing of and your delivery location. Our pricing is transparent and based on your selected bin and service area. You can check the price for your suburb and bin size through our online booking system, or contact our team for help choosing the right option.
What items are not allowed to be placed in skip bins?
Liquid, food and hazardous wastes are not permitted to be placed in bins. Hazardous wastes include asbestos, poisons, paints, oils, gas bottles and toxic wastes. If you have hazardous wastes that you need to dispose of, contact us for more information. We do offer Asbestos specialty bins, see Asbestos FAQ for more information.
What time will the truck arrive?
Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee exact delivery or collection times due to changing schedules and traffic conditions. If you have a time requirement, please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. You can also call us after 7:30am on the day of delivery or collection for an estimated arrival time. If timing is critical, we recommend having your bin delivered the day before you need it
Where will we place the skip?
Melville Bin Hire undertakes to deliver the bin to roadside verge adjacent to your property. If the hirer requires the truck to come off the road or any alternative placement it will be at the hirers risk. Melville Bin Hire is not liable for any damage as a result.
Will the bin damage my painted/stamped/tiled driveway?
In most cases, no, but we cannot guarantee that damage won’t occur. If you instruct us to place a bin on your driveway, Melville Bin Hire accepts no liability for any damage to driveways, paving, grass or other surfaces.
For a bin to be placed on a driveway, our truck requires a minimum of 3.5 metres of width and 3.5 metres of height clearance. Please also consider eaves, power lines, trees and any other overhead obstructions.
If you’re unsure, the verge is generally the safest location for both access and surface protection
Will the truck damage my grass?
Our trucks weigh approximately eight tonne before they are loaded. Unfortunately, driving on lawns after rain can cause some damage. However lawn will grow back.
What access is required to deliver a skip bin
Our trucks require a minimum clearance of 3.5 metres in both width and height to safely deliver a skip bin. This includes allowing for eaves, carports, garages, trees, power lines and other overhead obstructions.
If you would like the bin placed behind your house or on a rear battle-axe block, there must be clear, unobstructed access the entire way. Please ensure there are no narrow driveways, low-hanging branches, tight corners, gates, parked vehicles or other obstacles that may prevent our truck from reaching the delivery location.
If you’re unsure whether access is suitable, please contact us before booking. We’re happy to discuss your property and help determine the best placement for you
