Got a houseful of clutter to clear, or a reno that has spilled out of the spare room and across the carport? That is the everyday job up here, and bin hire in Strathmore Heights, the compact pocket tucked above the parent suburb near the Moonee Ponds Creek reserve, is what Binswest has handled from our own Sunshine North yard since 2010. Tell us your street and roughly what is coming out, and we will match a skip to the load before you commit to anything. Skip bin hire and mini skip hire both start the same way here: the right size first, the price in writing second, and the placement sorted before the truck leaves.
Call before 9am and the bin can often go out on that same day’s run.
Getting a Skip to Your Street, Same Day or Next
Delivery is the part people want pinned down first, so here it is plainly. Book before 9am and your skip can usually land the same day, subject to how busy the run already is. Book later and the standard slot is next-day. Our yard runs Monday to Friday 7am to 4pm and Saturday mornings 7am to 1pm, and the truck covers this corner of Moonee Valley every weekday, so a Strathmore Heights address is a routine stop rather than a special trip. There is no out-of-zone surcharge for delivering up here. When you book, you get an instant confirmation with the delivery date and the details on it, so nothing is left to guess.
A typical hire runs three to seven days, which is enough for a weekend purge or a fortnight of reno work, and you can ask for an extension if the job overruns. The standard rhythm is a drop early in the week and a pickup later in it; tell us if your timing is tighter than that and we will work to it.
About Binswest
Binswest is a family-run waste business founded by Mark in 2010 and based a short run away in Sunshine North. Sixteen years on, more than 6,000 clients across Melbourne’s west, north and inner suburbs have booked with us, and around a quarter of new work comes from people sent our way by someone we have already helped. The crew behind the phone carries roughly 100 years of combined experience, so when you call, you reach people who book and dispatch the bins, not a switchboard reading off a script.
What sets the operation apart is what happens after pickup. Everything we collect goes to our Government-Approved Waste Transfer Station in Sunshine North to be sorted by hand and machine. In 2024 that process recovered 41% of incoming material for recycling and a further 35% for repurposing, leaving just 24% bound for landfill. When you hire a skip from us, the load you fill in Strathmore Heights is far more likely to be sorted and recovered than simply tipped.

Whatever you book, we stand behind a best-price promise. If the load turns out heavier or different from what you described, we will tell you the difference before pickup, not surprise you with it afterward.
Which Skip Size Fits Your Job
Most homes up here are postwar brick and weatherboard on tighter blocks than the leafy parent suburb below, so the loads tend toward household clear-outs, garage purges and single-room renovations rather than sprawling rebuilds. Matching the bin to that is the bit that decides your price, so it is worth a moment.
- 2m3: a small mini skip for a single room, a garage corner or a tidy garden trim. The easiest bin to fit on a compact frontage.
- 3m3: a step up for a kitchen or bathroom refit, with the offcuts, old cabinetry and tiles that come with it.
- 4m3: the workhorse for a mixed reno-and-garden load or a solid decluttering effort across the house.
- 6m3: a deck removal, a larger extension clear-out, or a whole-house clear when the spare room, shed and garage all empty at once.
- 8m3: bulky, high-volume jobs where a smaller bin would mean a second hire.
Heavy, dense material like soil, brick and concrete is weight-limited rather than volume-limited, so for rubble loads we will steer you to the right size on the call. If your job is bigger than an 8m3, sizes of 10m3 and up are priced on quote; tell us what is coming out and we will sort it.

Will Your Driveway Save You a Moonee Valley Permit?
This is the question worth getting right before you book, because it can save you a step. A council placement permit is only needed when a skip sits on the road, the nature strip or the footpath. A bin standing on your own driveway or private property needs none.
The good news in Strathmore Heights is that even on the tighter blocks up here, most homes keep a usable driveway, so the skip can sit on your own concrete and the City of Moonee Valley permit simply never enters your booking. Where a bin does have to go kerbside, a Moonee Valley permit applies, and we will flag that when you give us the address rather than leaving you to discover it. We do not invent the council’s fee; we will confirm the current rate at booking. Either way, the placement is settled before the truck arrives, so nothing about it catches you out on the day.
- 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
Skips take a broad sweep of household, renovation and garden waste: general rubbish, timber, furniture, green waste, soil, brick and concrete (within weight limits for the heavy stuff). What stays out is fixed by regulation and load safety, not by us. The following cannot go in any skip:
- Asbestos
- Flammable liquids
- Wet paint
- Gas bottles
- Tyres
- Batteries
Bins also must not be overfilled; waste needs to sit level with the rim so the load travels safely. If you are unsure whether a particular item is allowed, ask us at booking and we will tell you how it is handled. For the full list of what goes in and what does not, our guide on what is allowed in our skip bins covers it.
- 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 Strathmore Heights
Strathmore Heights sits in a cluster of Moonee Valley suburbs we cover on the same daily round, all of them under the City of Moonee Valley for permit purposes. If you are nearby, or comparing a job across two addresses, we also handle bin hire in Strathmore directly below, bin hire in Airport West to the north, bin hire in Aberfeldie and bin hire in Ascot Vale down toward the Maribyrnong, and deliveries through Essendon North on the eastern side. The postcode 3041 is shared with Strathmore and Essendon North, so if a search has you unsure which pocket you are in, give us the street and we will confirm we reach it.
Frequently Asked Questions
All three share the 3041 postcode and run together, which is why people get caught out. It does not change your booking with us; we cover the whole cluster on the same Moonee Valley round. Give us the street name and we will confirm the suburb and the delivery on the spot.
Usually, yes. Most Strathmore Heights homes keep enough driveway room for a skip, and a bin on private property needs no permit at all. If your only option is the kerb or nature strip, a City of Moonee Valley permit applies, and we will tell you that when you give us the address.
For a single room or a garage corner, a 2m3 or 3m3 usually does it. For a whole-house declutter or a reno with garden waste mixed in, a 4m3 or 6m3 is the common pick. Describe what is coming out and we will name the size rather than leave you guessing.
Almost always. The postwar streets up here are standard suburban width and the driveways take a mid-size bin without trouble. If access is genuinely tight, tell us at booking and we will match a bin that fits the space.
Book before 9am and it can often arrive the same day, subject to the day’s load. After that, next-day is the standard slot, and you get a confirmation with the date as soon as you book.
