Take down one mature tree out the back, or cut a season of overgrowth off a leafy block, and you are left with a load no green bin and no trailer will swallow. That is the everyday reason people book bin hire in Montmorency with Binswest. We have run a daily north-east round from our Sunshine North yard since 2010, and more than 6,000 clients have hired from us along the way. Montmorency sits in the City of Banyule on the green-wedge edge near Eltham, where the blocks are generous and heavily treed. The practical upside for you is room: most homes here have a driveway or yard the skip can sit on, which usually keeps a council permit out of the booking entirely. Tell us your address and the rough job, and we will size the bin and confirm where it lands before you commit to anything.
Skip bin hire and mini skip hire both run out this way on the same delivery round, so the size you need is the next thing to settle, not whether we reach you.
Which Skip Handles a Montmorency Garden, Tree or Clean-Out Load?
Most of what fills a skip out here is green and bulky rather than dense, so the right size depends more on volume than on weight. A few honest pointers from the jobs we run across the suburb:
- 2m3 (1.8m long, 1.5m wide, 0.9m high), from $250. A top-load bin for a small clean-out: a shed tidy, a few loads of prunings, a one-room declutter. The lowest sides of any bin we carry, so it loads over the edge without a ramp.
- 3m3 (2.4m long, 1.5m wide, 0.97m high), from $350. Still top-load. Good for a bathroom or laundry refit, or a steady weekend of cut-back that outgrows the 2m3.
- 4m3 (3.2m long, 1.5m wide, 0.96m high), from $450. The first bin with a wheelbarrow door and ramp, so you walk green waste and soil straight in instead of lifting it over a rim. Most Montmorency garden overhauls and kitchen refits land here.
- 6m3 (3.3m long, 1.5m wide, 1.5m high), from $550. A walk-in bin for a big garden reset, a deck and pergola removal, or a larger renovation with mixed waste.
- 8m3 (3.3m long, 1.5m wide, 1.8m high), from $650. Our largest walk-in domestic bin. Suited to a whole-yard clearance or a major renovation where the waste keeps coming.
Clearing a felled tree changes the maths, because trunk sections and root balls take up more room than you would guess and weigh more than they look. Describe that kind of load when you call, and leave the sizing to us. Bins above 8m3, up to 31m3 in Marrel and hooklift styles, suit big builder and commercial jobs and are priced on quote. Not sure which way to go? Tell us what is coming out and we will recommend the size, because paying for air in an oversized bin helps no one.
About Binswest
Binswest is a locally owned skip hire business founded in 2010 and run from a Government-Approved Waste Transfer Station in Sunshine North, with founder Mark still at the helm. Over those years more than 6,000 clients have hired bins from us across Melbourne’s western, northern and north-eastern suburbs. What that experience buys a Montmorency customer is a straight answer on the phone: the right size for your load, where the bin can safely stand on your block, and whether the permit question even applies to you.
Where your waste ends up matters too, and on the green-wedge edge it matters more than most. Everything we collect comes back to our Sunshine North station for sorting, and in 2024 we recovered 41% of incoming material for recycling and a further 35% for repurposing, leaving 24% to landfill. Garden waste sorts and breaks down well, so a green-heavy Montmorency load is exactly the kind of job that recovery rate is built around.
What Bin Hire in Montmorency Costs, Per Size and In Writing
Plenty of operators make you fill in a form before they will name a price. We would rather you saw it up front, so here is the Montmorency starting price for each size:
-
from $250
-
from $350
-
from $450
-
from $550
-
from $650
-
priced on quote
These are from-prices. The final figure depends on what goes in the bin and the total weight, since heavier mixed loads cost more to process than light green waste. There is no separate distance fee for reaching Montmorency, no surprise charge at drop-off, and the price we quote is the price you pay. For anything larger than 8m3, give us the details and we will quote it properly.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery Out to Montmorency
Montmorency sits about 30 kilometres from our Sunshine North yard, but it falls on a route we run every weekday, so the distance adds no surcharge and it does not slow you down. Book before 9am and we can usually deliver the same day, depending on how busy the run is; book later and next-day delivery is the norm. We are on the phones Monday to Friday 7am to 4pm and Saturday 7am to 1pm, and you can send an online enquiry any day, Sundays included.
A standard hire runs up to 7 days, which gives most people a full weekend plus a few weekdays to fill the bin at their own pace. If a garden job stretches longer than planned, ask about an extension up front, and save yourself a scramble at the end.

Why a Montmorency Driveway Usually Skips the Banyule Permit
Here is the part that genuinely works in your favour out here. In Victoria a placement permit is only needed when a skip sits on the road, the kerb or the nature strip. Keep it on your own driveway or inside the property line and no permit applies, and on Montmorency’s larger blocks there is almost always room to do exactly that. For most bookings in this suburb the permit question never comes up.
If the only safe spot is on the street, then a City of Banyule placement permit is required, and we will flag that with you at booking and talk through the current council process. Montmorency’s north-eastern streets run close to the Shire of Nillumbik boundary near Eltham, so if your address sits right on that edge we will confirm which council covers you before anything is placed. You are not left to work the council line out on your own.

What You Can and Can’t Put in the Bin
Green waste, general household rubbish, timber, furniture, bricks, tiles, concrete and clean fill are all welcome, which covers the great majority of a Montmorency garden or renovation clear-out. To keep everyone safe and our recovery rate high, please do not load asbestos, gas bottles, tyres, batteries, wet paint or flammable liquids such as petrol, solvents or oils. These are excluded under waste regulations and cannot go in any skip. We also work to OH&S load-safety limits, so a bin must not be filled above its rim.
For anything you are unsure about, our guide to what is allowed in our skip bins lists it item by item, and you can always check a specific item with us when you book. We will confirm any item-specific handling then, so nothing trips you up on the day.
- 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
(Load Safety)
Branches, Prunings and Soil: Loading a Green-Heavy Skip
A garden load behaves differently to a renovation load, and a couple of habits make a bush-block clean-up go smoothly. Cut long branches down so they lie flat rather than bridging across the bin and leaving hollow space underneath. Keep soil and fill to the lower bins where you can, because dirt is dense and a tall bin packed with it gets heavy fast. You can mix prunings, leaf litter, turf and general garden waste in the one skip, which keeps a clear-out simple.
Placement deserves a thought on a treed, sometimes sloping block. We set the bin on firm, level ground with clearance from low branches and the canopy, so the truck can put it down and lift it off cleanly on collection. Point out the flattest, clearest spot when we arrive and the drop-off takes a couple of minutes. Soil, clay, concrete and bricks are all fine to load within the weight limit; just flag a heavy load when you book so we send the right bin for it.

Bin Hire Montmorency: Your Questions Answered
For a serious green-waste clear, a 4m3 walk-in skip is the usual starting point, since its wheelbarrow door lets you walk branches and soil straight in. For a whole-yard reset or a felled tree with trunk and roots, step up to a 6m3 or 8m3. Describe the load when you call and we will point you to the right one.
Usually, yes. We set the skip on firm, level ground with clearance from the canopy so it can be delivered and collected cleanly. If your drive falls away or sits under low branches, tell us when you book and we will work out the best position with you.
Only if the skip goes on the road, kerb or nature strip. Kept on your driveway or within your property, which suits most Montmorency blocks, no permit is needed. If street placement is the only option, a City of Banyule permit applies and we will guide you through it.
Yes. Garden trimmings, branches, turf, soil and general household rubbish can all go in the same skip. Just keep out the prohibited items, and flag a soil-heavy or rubble load when you book so we allow for the weight.
A standard hire runs up to 7 days, with extensions available if you ask. Book before 9am and same-day delivery is usually possible; otherwise next day is standard, with no surcharge for the trip out to Montmorency.
