The hardest part of skip bin hire is usually picturing how big a bin you actually need, and that is the question we answer best in Kurunjang. Binswest has delivered bins across Melbourne’s west and north since 2010, and plenty of the calls we take out here come from homeowners tackling a garden overhaul or a first renovation who have simply never had to imagine what a cubic metre of rubbish looks like. A 3m³ skip swallows roughly twelve household wheelie-bin loads, which suits most single-room strip-outs. A bigger garden clear or a full reno usually wants a 6m³. Tell us what is coming out and we will match the size to it, so you are not paying for space you cannot fill or running short halfway through.
Skip bin hire and mini skip hire in Kurunjang both run off the same daily round we already drive through the City of Melton, so a same-day drop is often there if you call before 9am. Phone Binswest on 0427 166 444 and we will size it on the spot.
What Size Skip Do You Actually Need?
Most people overthink this, then guess wrong in both directions. The trick is to think in loads, not in numbers you cannot picture.
A 2m3 mini suits a small bathroom strip, a garage tidy or a single trailer-load of green waste. The 3m3 is the popular all-rounder, around twelve wheelie bins of room, good for a bedroom clear-out or a modest landscaping job. Step up to a 4m3 for a kitchen renovation or a decent garden cut-back, and a 6m3 when a whole-house declutter or a larger reno is on. The 8m3 takes a big renovation or a full property clean-out. Sizes of 10m3 and up are built for builders and commercial loads, and those are priced on quote.
One thing worth knowing before you choose: heavy waste fills its weight allowance long before it fills the space. Soil, broken concrete, bricks and pavers from a first garden dig-out weigh far more than they look, so a half-full bin of hard rubble can reach the limit while still looking empty. We take that material happily. If your load leans heavy, say so when you call, and we will point you to the right bin and explain the allowance up front rather than letting it surprise you on pickup day.
About Binswest
Binswest is a family-run Melbourne skip bin business, founded in 2010 by Mark, and the team has handled more than 6,000 jobs across the western and northern suburbs since. This is not a call centre or a booking app. The people who answer the phone know the runs, the councils and the kinds of loads these blocks throw out, so the advice you get is from someone who could drive your street from memory.
What happens to your waste matters too, because the bin is only half the job. Everything we collect comes back to our Government-Approved Waste Transfer Station in Sunshine North, where it is sorted by hand rather than tipped straight to landfill. Across 2024 that work recovered 41% of what we collected for recycling and a further 35% for repurposing, leaving 24% to landfill. The old turf, timber and rubble from a Kurunjang clean-out gets pulled apart and sent on to be reused wherever it can be.

These are starting prices for general and mixed loads. Heavier waste like soil, concrete and brick carries a weight allowance, so the final figure depends on what is going in. Tell us the job when you call and we will give you a flat price for your address, backed by our best-price guarantee with no hidden fees on top.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery to Kurunjang
Kurunjang sits on the daily round we already drive through Melton, so getting a bin to an estate address out here is routine rather than a special trip. Book before 9am and a same-day drop is usually on the table, subject to how full the run already is. Anything booked later almost always lands the next day.
We answer the phones Monday to Friday 7am to 4pm and Saturday 7am to 1pm, and the online enquiry form runs every day, Sundays included. Give us your street and a rough window, and we will confirm the delivery day when you book so the bin lines up with your skip-day plans.
- Monday to Friday7am – 5pm
- Saturday7am – 5pm
Does a Kurunjang Skip Need a Melton Council Permit?
For most Kurunjang jobs, no. A council placement permit is only required when a skip is placed on the road, the kerb or the nature strip. A bin kept on your own driveway or hardstand does not need one.
Kurunjang works in your favour here. The homes across the estate, both the older brick-veneer streets and the newer house-and-land lots on the fringe, generally sit on regular blocks with proper driveways and front hardstand. So the skip can almost always stand on your own property while you fill it, and the City of Melton permit question never comes up. If your only practical spot is the kerb or nature strip, a permit does apply, and we will flag that and confirm the current rate with you at booking. Either way, tell us your address and we will confirm where the bin can sit before you commit to anything.

What You Can and Can’t Put in the Bin
Most of what a home clean-out, renovation or garden job produces is fine: general household rubbish, timber, green waste, soil, bricks, concrete, tiles, old furniture and the usual building offcuts. Heavy materials carry that weight allowance, so keep soil and rubble loads honest about quantity.
A handful of items are not allowed in any skip, by law and for safety. Asbestos, gas bottles, tyres, car batteries, wet paint and flammable liquids all have to be kept out and handled separately. Bins also must not be overfilled, under load-safety rules. For anything item-specific or out of the ordinary, mention it when you book and we will tell you how it is handled, and you can read the full list of what goes in and what stays out before your bin arrives.
- 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

Suburbs We Service Around Kurunjang
Kurunjang is one suburb inside the City of Melton, and we run bins right across it. If your job spreads beyond Kurunjang, or you are nearby rather than in the suburb proper, we cover the surrounding Melton area on the same daily rotation and the same published prices. That includes the broader Melton coverage this page sits alongside, our bin hire in Brookfield across the newer estates to the south, the settling-in streets of Weir Views, and the fresh-build blocks of Strathtulloh. Further west on the same rotation, our bin hire in Burnside and bin hire in Burnside Heights cover those streets too. Same run, same crew, same numbers on the page.
Frequently Asked Questions
For a typical backyard overhaul, pulled-out beds, old turf, prunings and some dug-out soil, a 4m3 is the safe all-rounder, and a 3m3 covers a smaller tidy. If you are also lifting an old path or retaining wall, the broken concrete adds weight fast, so tell us roughly how much hard material is in the mix and we will size for the weight, not just the volume.
On most Kurunjang blocks, yes. The estate’s regular lots and proper driveways mean the bin can usually sit on your own property, which avoids the Melton permit altogether. We confirm the spot against your specific address when you book.
Yes, all of it. Just know that heavy waste has a weight allowance, because dense material reaches its limit well before it fills the bin. Let us know it is a heavy load when you call and we will recommend the right size and explain the allowance before delivery.
Kurunjang is on our daily Melton round, so book before 9am and a same-day drop is often available. Later bookings almost always arrive the next day. We confirm the delivery day with you at the time of booking.
