Waste Type | What can go in | WHAT YOU CAN NOT PUT IN A BIN |
---|---|---|
General Waste | Unlimited Bins has a large range of different-sized bins to help you with your General Clean-up project, big or small. General Waste is considered a clean-up of your Home or office area. Our skip bins are suitable for Household appliances, whitegoods, TV’s, furniture, cardboard, clothes, toys, bikes etc. They can also take light Green Waste such as branches, leaves, and grass cuttings. NO SOIL OR TREE REMOVAL. Office furniture is accepted. However, if it is larger timber-based items/furniture, chip board, and MDF, you would be required to book a Light Builders Bin. Tonnage limits may apply. If you need a bin for General Waste, please ensure you follow our correct waste management protocol which involves excluding certain waste types. GENERAL WASTE BINS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR ANY BUILDING MATERIAL LIKE SOIL, CONCRETE, BRICKS, TILES, TIMBER, OR PLASTER. |

Green Waste Only | Have you done a garden or backyard maintenance clean-up before? We all know how much green waste can pile up over time and doesn’t fit into our weekly collection. Unlimited Bins can offer a Green Waste Only bin for a cheaper price as long as it is 100% Green Waste Only. For recycling purposes, we can take all Green Waste to a designated recycling station and therefore reduce the cost of landfill tipping fees. Green Waste only can include branches, leaves, and grass cuttings. When the Green Waste is taken to the recycling station, it is recycled into gardening mulch which is why they are very strict on the types of waste accepted. THIS WASTE TYPE CANNOT INCLUDE SOIL OR TREE STUMPS AS PART OF A GREEN WASTE ONLY BIN. |

Concrete Only | Pulling up a driveway or concreted area? Unlimited Bins can offer a Concrete Only bin for a cheaper price as long as it is 100% Concrete Only. Steel Reo bar is acceptable in the concrete. For recycling purposes, we can take our concrete to a designated recycling station and therefore reduce the cost of the bin to our customers. The recycling station will then have the concrete crushed and re-purposed back into the building and construction industry for things like a road base. NO WET CONCRETE IS TO BE PLACED IN THE BIN. |

Important Information
Over the last two decades, there have been major changes to the way Australians manage their waste**. Recycling has increased but so has the amount of waste we are generating, including the quantity of hazardous waste.
Unlimited Bins abides by Local, State and Federal Government Regulations from taking any hazardous materials. For this reason, hazardous materials found in the bin will be returned to the customer for proper disposition.
Important Note
It is important to correctly specify your intended waste type because placement of other waste types may result in additional disposal charges after the skip is collected.
