Home renovations and construction projects generate a surprising amount of rubbish like old tiles, timber, metal, and much much more. Angel Waste’s skip bin hire in Canberra puts you in control of your waste management with an eco-friendly approach that minimises environmental impacts.
Benefits of bin hire for home renovations
Efficient waste management with skip bins offers several benefits.
You can focus on your project
- Skip bin hire is a stress-free, convenient solution for proper waste management.
- We deliver skip bins to you on site in a designated place and pick them up when they’re full.
Skip bin hire is cost effective
- Cost effectiveness is a plus once you factor in local tip fees, time taken with multiple trips to the tip, and transport costs of doing waste disposal yourself.
- You can also budget for the known cost ahead of time of hiring a skip bin for waste disposal.

- Renovation waste includes sharp objects, heavy debris, and hazardous waste.
- Skip bins keep all that dangerous rubbish safely contained.

- Materials like timber and bricks can be recycled, making the proper disposal of waste eco-friendly
Types of waste
Angel Waste offers three types of skip bins for waste generated by building projects: general waste, mixed masonry, and concrete or rock. General waste bins for renovation projects hold materials like old furniture, plastic packaging, and general household waste. These skip bins cannot accept green waste like grass clippings. Mixed masonry bins hold construction waste such as bricks and pavers. Angel Waste also offers bins to dispose of heavy debris like rock.
Bin sizes
Many homeowners underestimate the amount of construction debris generated by their project. What size skip bin is right for you? A skip bin’s volume is measured by the cubic metre. Here are some common home projects with the suitable skip bin sizes.
Small bathroom renovations: 2 cubic metres
Flooring or tile replacement: 4 cubic metres
Kitchen or laundry renovation: 6 cubic metres
Larger projects like major home renovations: 9 – 10 cubic metres
Tips on using skip bins
Using the examples above, consider what kind of waste you’ll be disposing of and how much. Ask our friendly team if you have questions about the suitable size of bin to hire.
If the skip bin must be placed on site somewhere other than your private property – for example, on public land like footpaths – then the ACT government requires you to have a permit for that placement.
Don’t overfill your skip bins. Avoid unnecessary costs by making sure that the contents remain level with the top of the skip bin. Heavier materials should go on the bottom, with lighter materials on top.
Don’t mix materials. Don’t place heavy materials like bricks in a general waste bin. Use a mixed masonry skip bin instead.
Canberra regulations prohibit certain hazardous materials from skip bins. Make sure that you know what can and con’t go into skip bins.
Hazardous Materials
Dangerous items cannot go into skip bins. These include things like asbestos and explosive, flammable, or illegal items. Materials not accepted at local waste facilities will be returned, and extra charges will apply. Please contact us if you have questions about whether materials can be safely placed into a skip bin.
