FAQ

For effective waste removal, we supply two types of rubbish bin hire: Skip Bin Hire and Walk In Bin Hire. Skip bins(Marrel) come in 2, 3 and 4 cubic metres. They are smaller at the bottom and larger at the top. Our Walk In Bins (Hooklift/Roller) start from 4 cubic metres and go all the way to 23 cubic metres. The distinguishing difference between the two is that the back end of the Walk In Bin opens up and you are able to walk into the unit.

As a service for Bin and Skip Hire Melbourne, environmental impact is of the greatest importance to us. As such, WM Waste Management Services will not supply rubbish skips for the waste removal of asbestos, car tyres, car batteries, liquids, paints, chemicals, gas bottles, or food waste. Tree stumps are also not accepted, and mattresses incur extra fees.

Regulations stipulate that in order for a rubbish skip to placed outside a residential block, council permits are required. Permits are also required where the waste removal bin is to be placed on the road way. WM Waste Management Services will handle all the paperwork for the Council Permit.

That is very question to answer without seeing the waste pile. To help you estimate your waste removal requirements, please see the following: (trailer loads = 6 x 4m)

Rubbish bin hire for removal of waste is 2-3 days for both Skip Bin hire and walk in bin hire. When you book a rubbish skip, we will confirm with you both the delivery and collection dates. Longer periods of hire are available where requested at an additional cost.

No. In accordance with solid waste management and recycling principles, we use the Knox Transfer Station along with other tipping facilities to ensure maximum recycling where possible. We also offer cheap rates for the rubbish removal of waste bins containing 100% concrete or 100% dirt because each material is easily recycled.

Rubbish Skips can only be filled to the side of the bins. No boards or similar material can be placed on the sides to make the bin take more rubbish. Regulations ensure we must, and do, comply with Vic Roads safety rules and regulations.

The removal of materials we deem unsafe to transport will not be removed and additional costs will be incurred where our collectors arrive on site for non-pickup. In this situation, YOU will be required to unpack the unit to an appropriate level. These rules apply for Skip Bin hire and all rubbish skips.

We suggest that you order your waste removal unit in advance to ensure availability. We may be able to deliver it the same day as ordered depending on the schedules for that day.

Since 1985, WM have delivered skip hire to Melbourne’s East and South Eastern suburbs, as well as the Yarra Valley area. Please refer to the location section of our quote page for specific costs relative to your area.

Payment for your hire is required prior to delivery. We accept payment over the phone with credit card (Visa or MasterCard) when making your booking. Tax Invoices will be issued by the drivers at the point of delivery.

In accordance with skip and rubbish bin hire Melbourne regulations, a permit is required for the placement of the rubbish skip outside the residential block. If you require rubbish bin hire longer than 2-3 days, additional charges will also apply. Where the bin is overloaded and unsafe to transport, additional charges will also apply.

Yes, we can supply rubbish skips to be held permanently on site, provided rubbish skips are being frequently changed over (a new unit is brought out and the full rubbish skip taken away). Please call one of our friendly staff to discuss permanent rubbish bins on site for solid waste management.
