Skip bin service
Large Skip Bin Hire Perth — 8m³ and 12m³
When the job is bigger than a 6m³ can handle, you want the right bin first time rather than three smaller ones stacked up over the week.
Our 8m³ and 12m³ big-job bins take the biggest residential and commercial jobs in Perth. Extensions, deceased estate whole-house clean-outs, shopfits and demolition runs.
At this size, placement and council permits become the main decision — not capacity.
When to call for a big-job bin
An 8m³ holds around 32 wheelie bins' worth. A 12m³ holds 48. At that volume you're usually past the driveway-option and into verge placement.
- Full house extension (brick, plaster, timber, tiles)
- Whole-house interior strip-out before reno
- Deceased estate clean-out where the whole contents go
- Shopfit demolition and rebuild
- Barn or large shed demolition
- Multi-unit townhouse common-property clean-up
›Placement — driveway or verge?
An 8m³ still fits on a generous double driveway. A 12m³ usually needs the verge, and verge placement means a council permit.
Verge permits — plan ahead
Most Perth councils take 2-5 business days to issue a skip bin permit. City of Stirling is fastest (48 hours online), City of Perth can take a week. Factor this into your reno timeline — we can lodge on your behalf for trade accounts.
Weight limits on big-job bins
This is where big jobs catch people out. A 12m³ bin looks huge, but if you fill it with pure brick or tile you'll hit the weight limit before the top rail.
| Bin size | Volume | Weight allowance | Max dense waste |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8m³ | 32 wheelie bins | 2.5 tonnes | ~2m³ of clean brick |
| 12m³ | 48 wheelie bins | 3.5 tonnes | ~3m³ of clean brick |
8m³
12m³
Mixed household waste rarely hits these limits. Dense rubble is the only category where it matters.
Mix your loading
Load the dense stuff (brick, tile, concrete) on the bottom, then fill the top with lighter timber, cardboard and furniture. Keeps you under the weight cap and uses the full volume.
Demolition jobs — the planning we do with you
Demolition is the one case where we recommend a site visit before quoting. Too many variables to guess on the phone.
- 1
We visit the site
A free 15-minute walk-through. We look at access, asbestos risk, power lines, neighbours.
- 2
We write the waste plan
How many bins, what sequence, where they sit, what the swap schedule looks like.
- 3
We flag asbestos risk
Most houses built before 1990 have some. We book a separate asbestos bin if needed.
- 4
We schedule the run
Multi-bin demo jobs usually run two bins live — one loading, one collecting.
- 5
We collect, sort, recycle
Back at Malaga, 80% of the load is diverted.
