Emptying a brick-veneer family home in Heidelberg Heights that has slowly filled up over the years, or carting off what is left after the renderers and chippies finish a renovation? That is the load most people up here hire a bin for. Binswest has run a daily north-east round out of our Sunshine North yard since 2010, and on the streets above Heidelberg West most homes sit on a block with a driveway or a setback front yard, which usually means the skip can stand on your own ground. Tell us the address and roughly what is coming out, and we will match the bin to the job and have it there fast, often the same day if you call before 9am.
Skip bin hire and mini skip hire in Heidelberg Heights both come off that same weekday run, so the size and the price are usually the only two questions worth your time, and we have set both out further down this page.
Got a Clear-Out, Renewal or Renovation Load to Shift?
Most jobs around here come down to one of a few things: pulling out a tired kitchen or bathroom, clearing a house before it changes hands, or stripping a place back as part of the steady redevelopment that turns these older homes over. Add to that the public-housing renewal, which keeps a stream of clean-outs and demolition waste moving through the area, and you have most of what a skip handles in these streets week to week.
Each of those loads wants a different bin. A single-room refit makes a tidy, mostly light pile of old cabinetry and plaster. A full strip-out before a sale runs heavier and bulkier. A renewal or rebuild clearance brings brick, broken concrete and dug-out soil, which weighs far more per cubic metre than furniture does and changes the size you actually need. So we start by asking what is going in, not what size you think you want. Get that right and the rest of the booking falls into place.
About Binswest
Binswest is a locally owned skip bin business founded in 2010 by Mark and run out of a Government-Approved Waste Transfer Station in Sunshine North. Sixteen years on, more than 6,000 households, builders and businesses across Melbourne’s west, north, CBD and inner suburbs have hired bins from us. That experience is the reason a Heidelberg Heights booking goes quickly: we already know the north-east run, the City of Banyule, and the kinds of loads these postwar blocks throw out.
It also means your waste does not simply go to landfill. Everything we collect comes back to the Sunshine North yard to be sorted, and in 2024 we recovered 41% of it for recycling and a further 35% for repurposing, with 24% going to landfill. When you fill a skip with us, most of what you put in finds another use.

Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery to Heidelberg Heights
Heidelberg Heights sits on our daily north-east run, so getting a bin to you is part of the weekday schedule rather than a special trip. Book by 9am and a same-day drop is often on the table, subject to how full the run already is; otherwise next-day is the norm. Our standard rhythm is a Monday drop and a Thursday pickup, and a typical hire runs three to seven days with extensions available if the job stretches out.
We answer the phone Monday to Friday 7am to 4pm and Saturday 7am to 1pm, and online enquiries come through any day, Sundays included. Tell us your timing when you book and we will work the delivery in around it.
- Monday to Friday7am – 5pm
- Saturday7am – 5pm
Which Skip Size Fits Your Heidelberg Heights Job
Our skip bins run from a 2m3 mini through to 31m3 hooklift bins, in Marrel, hooklift and standard skip types. These are the sizes most Heidelberg Heights jobs land on:
- 2m3 (1.8m long, 1.5m wide, 0.9m high): small clean-ups, a single room of junk, a boot-load or two of garden waste.
- 3m3 (2.4m long, 1.5m wide, 0.97m high): a kitchen or bathroom refit, a modest decluttering job.
- 4m3 (3.2m long, 1.5m wide, 0.96m high): the workhorse for a single-room strip-out or a solid garage and shed clear-out.
- 6m3 (3.3m long, 1.5m wide, 1.5m high): a multi-room renovation, or a larger whole-house clean-out before a sale.
- 8m3 (3.3m long, 1.5m wide, 1.8m high): bulky renovation and redevelopment waste where the volume runs high.
For heavier renewal and demolition loads of brick, concrete and soil, the right answer is often a smaller bin loaded within its weight limit rather than a large one you cannot lift. Tell us what the load is and we will point you to the size that suits it, not the one that looks biggest.
- Green Waste
Garden trimmings, branches, grass clippings
- General Rubbish
Household items, old furniture, junk
- Building Materials
Bricks, tiles, concrete, plaster
- Commercial Waste
Office waste, packaging, light materials
- Industrial Waste
Factory debris, non-hazardous by-products
What You Can and Can’t Put in the Bin
Our bins take the everyday waste these jobs produce: general household rubbish and old furniture, green waste and garden trimmings, and building materials such as bricks, tiles, concrete and plaster from a renovation or rebuild. Clean fill and heavy materials are fine too, within the bin’s weight limit.
A short list of items cannot go in, mostly for safety and recycling-regulation reasons: asbestos, flammable liquids, wet paint, gas bottles, tyres and batteries. Some items are handled on conditions rather than flatly refused, so if you have something you are unsure about, mention it when you book and we will tell you how it is dealt with. A full breakdown of accepted and excluded materials lives on our what-is-allowed page.
- Wet Paints
Liquid paints or leftover tins
- Flammable Liquid
Petrol, thinners, solvents, oils
- Asbestos
Any bonded or loose asbestos
- Gas Bottles
BBQ cylinders, LPG tanks
- Tyres. Batteries*
Car tires, lithium's or lead-acid batteries
Do not overfill skip bins for OH&S reasons

Does Your Skip Need a City of Banyule Permit?
This is the part that catches people out, and the good news is that it usually does not apply here. If the skip sits entirely on your own property, on the driveway or a hardstand inside your boundary, no council permit is needed. Most blocks in Heidelberg Heights have the room for exactly that.
A permit only comes into it when the bin has to stand on the road, the kerb or the nature strip, which is council land. In that case a City of Banyule placement permit applies. We will let you know if your job needs one and confirm the council’s current fee at booking, so nothing about it is a surprise. If you are not sure whether your driveway has the clearance, tell us the address and we will work it out with you before anything is locked in.
The Banyule Suburbs We Cover Around Heidelberg Heights
Heidelberg Heights shares the City of Banyule and its surrounds with several neighbours we deliver to on the same round. The Olympic Village streets and Bell Street industrial frontages next door are covered on our Heidelberg West page, and the original riverside township and its Burgundy Street shops on the Heidelberg page. For the small tightly-held pocket between here and Ivanhoe we run bin hire in Bellfield, and on the same north-east loop we cover bin hire in Eaglemont on the river side and bin hire in Bundoora further up the line. If your job sits on a boundary street, tell us the address and we will confirm which suburb and which council it falls under, because the three Heidelbergs share the same postcode and it is easy to mix them up when you book.
Frequently Asked Questions
A full house clean-out usually lands on a 6m3, and a larger or messier one on an 8m3. If it is just a room or a garage, a 4m3 is plenty. Tell us roughly what is coming out and we will confirm the size before you commit, so you are not paying for air or running out of room.
Most Heidelberg Heights driveways take a mid-size bin without trouble, which is why the skip can usually sit on your own property and skip the council permit. If your frontage is tight or the driveway is short, a smaller bin or a mini is the safer call. Give us the address and we will tell you what will physically fit before the truck heads out.
We cover all three, plus the wider City of Banyule. They sit side by side and share a postcode, so when you book just give us the street name along with the suburb and we will make sure the bin lands at the right address on the right side of the council line.
Yes. Brick, tiles, concrete and clean fill are all fine, loaded within the bin’s weight limit. Because that material is dense, a smaller bin filled to the line is often the right answer rather than a big bin you cannot fully load. Tell us it is a heavy load when you book and we will size it accordingly.
You are on our daily north-east run, so book by 9am and a same-day drop is often available, with next-day the standard otherwise. We will confirm the delivery day when you book.
