Halfway through a kitchen refit in a Strathmore bungalow, with old cabinetry, tiles and plaster already piling up in the driveway? That driveway is the good news. Binswest has run bin hire across Strathmore since 2010, more than 6,000 jobs in, and the wide blocks on this settled side of Moonee Valley nearly always give a skip somewhere to sit on your own land. So the thing that catches people out elsewhere, a council placement permit, usually never enters your booking. What does matter is size, matching the bin to a renovation, a garden overhaul or a full clear-out before anything is delivered. Tell us your address and roughly what is coming out, and we will get that part right the first time.

Get a Skip Delivered, Same Day or Next

Book before 9am on a weekday and your bin can usually go out on that same day’s run, subject to how busy the trucks already are. After that cut-off, next-day delivery is the norm. We run our own vehicles out of the Sunshine North yard six days a week, with a standard Monday drop and Thursday pickup if you want the bin across a working week. The hire period runs three to seven days as standard, with extensions available when a job overruns. There is no separate distance charge added back at the gate. Strathmore sits squarely inside the daily Moonee Valley round, so the starting price you are quoted already covers getting the bin to your door and away again.

About Binswest

Binswest is a locally owned waste business founded by Mark in 2010 and run from a Government-Approved Waste Transfer Station in Sunshine North. Over those years we have served more than 6,000 clients across Melbourne’s western and northern suburbs, the CBD and the inner ring, with a tight team carrying a hundred years of combined experience between them. The part we are proudest of is where your load ends up. Across 2024, 41% of what came through the yard was recycled and another 35% repurposed, leaving 24% bound for landfill. Every Strathmore bin we collect is sorted back at that transfer station, so a bungalow renovation or a garden clear-out here feeds straight into that recovery rather than going to ground. Fully insured hire, on-time delivery and pickup, and a best-price guarantee with no hidden fees sit behind every booking.

Pricing for Bin Hire in Strathmore

Most providers here keep the number behind a quote form. We would rather you saw it before you call. These are our starting prices for general waste on a Strathmore booking:

  • from $250
  • from $350
  • from $450
  • from $550
  • from $650
  • priced on quote

A clean green-waste load, the common Strathmore garden clear, sits at our most affordable rate. Heavy material such as soil, bricks, concrete and tile is charged at a higher rate and filled to a lower line, because weight, not just volume, decides what a truck can safely carry. A longer hire adjusts the total as well. Every one of those variables is confirmed with you on the phone, so the figure you agree to is the figure you pay, backed by our best-price guarantee and nothing added at pickup.

Which Skip Size Fits Your Strathmore Job

Picture the load before you pick a size. A period-home refit throws off heavy, mixed waste, old fittings, tiles and plaster, that needs a sturdier bin than its volume suggests. An established-garden reset is bulky but lighter, and it compacts down further than most people expect, so the biggest bin on the list is rarely the right call. Here is how the range maps to the work a Strathmore block tends to generate:

  • 2m3 mini skip, roughly 1.8m long: a garage tidy, a single-room declutter or a small garden trim.
  • 3m3 skip or Marrel: a single kitchen or bathroom strip-out in a bungalow.
  • 4m3 Marrel with a wheelbarrow door, around 3.2m long: a bathroom-and-laundry combo, or a mixed renovation load with tile and plaster through it.
  • 6m3 walk-in: a full kitchen renovation, or a serious overhaul of a deep, established garden.
  • 8m3 walk-in, about 3.3m long and 1.8m high: a whole-house clear-out, a deceased estate or a downsizing move.
  • 10m3 and larger, up to 31m3 hooklift bins: multi-room renovations, builder’s strip-outs and demolition loads.

One quiet advantage of the blocks here is that a wider Strathmore driveway will take a 6m3 or 8m3 walk-in delivered straight up it, where a narrow inner-suburb frontage would force you down to a smaller bin and a second hire. If you are torn between two sizes, describe the job and we will steer you to the one that fits, not the one that bills highest.

Do You Need a Moonee Valley Permit?

For most Strathmore jobs, no. While the skip sits on your own driveway or hardstand it is on private property, and no council permit is needed, which is the usual outcome on these wider blocks. A permit only comes into it when the bin has to stand on the road, the nature strip or the footpath. Here that tends to mean an older home where a carport, a fence line or a front tree blocks a clean run up the drive.

When a kerbside placement really is the only option, the bin needs a placement permit from the City of Moonee Valley. We will tell you at booking whether your spot needs one, lodge against the council’s current placement-permit fee, and confirm that rate with you rather than quoting a figure here that could be out of date. The council usually wants a few business days to assess an application, so it is worth flagging early if your driveway is tight. We carry the public liability cover these placements require, and our drivers position and mark the bin to the council’s conditions.

Skip Bin Waste Materials Allowed
  • 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

A Strathmore skip handles the everyday run of household, renovation, garden, commercial and clean construction waste: furniture and general junk, untreated timber, bricks, tiles, concrete and plaster, green waste, and office or fit-out materials. Clean heavy loads like soil and rubble are fine on their own; they simply sit in a smaller bin filled to a lower line for weight.

A short list stays out, by regulation and for load safety: asbestos in any form, wet or liquid paint, flammable liquids such as petrol, solvents and oils, gas bottles, tyres and batteries. A couple of those can sometimes be handled a particular way if you mention them when you book, so ask us rather than burying anything in the load. And please keep the fill below the rim. An overloaded bin is unsafe to lift and cannot legally go on the truck.

Skip Bin Waste Materials that are NOT Allowed
  • 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

Bin Hire Strathmore

Strathmore and the Moonee Valley Suburbs Nearby

Strathmore is one stop on a daily round that covers this whole pocket of Moonee Valley, so if your job sits across a boundary we most likely cover that too, including bin hire in Ascot Vale down toward the river and bin hire in Airport West out past the Tullamarine line. Strathmore Heights, the smaller pocket up toward the freeway, runs to tighter postwar blocks than the established streets here. Essendon North, a few minutes east, straddles the line where Moonee Valley meets Merri-bek, so the council that issues a permit there can change from one street to the next. To the south, bin hire in Aberfeldie shares Strathmore’s larger-block, driveway-placement character. Wherever your address falls, we confirm which council covers it before you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a council permit if the skip stays on my Strathmore driveway?

Generally no. While the bin is on your own driveway or hardstand it sits on private property, and Strathmore’s wider blocks mean that is the usual outcome. A Moonee Valley permit is only needed if the bin has to go on the road, nature strip or footpath. We will tell you which applies to your address when you book.

Will a larger walk-in skip actually fit up a Strathmore driveway?

Usually, yes, and that is one of the real advantages of the blocks here. A standard-to-wide Strathmore driveway will generally take a 6m3 or even 8m3 walk-in delivered straight up it, where a narrow inner-suburb frontage would force a smaller bin. If access is tight, tell us about the carport or gate and we will recommend a size that suits.

What size bin suits a quality renovation or extension?

For a single-room strip-out, a 3m3 or 4m3 usually does it. A full kitchen renovation or a larger extension tends to land on a 6m3 walk-in, and a whole-house or multi-room job on an 8m3. Renovation waste is heavy, so we size to the materials, not just the room count.

How are heavy materials like soil, bricks and tiles handled?

Clean heavy loads are charged at a higher rate and filled to a lower line, because a truck reaches its weight limit well before a bin looks full. Keeping soil, concrete and rubble separate from light waste is the cheapest way to clear them, and we will name the right bin for the weight when you book.

Can I extend the hire if my renovation runs long?

Yes. The standard hire runs three to seven days, and extensions are available when a job overruns, which renovations often do. Let us know and we will keep the bin on site rather than rushing a pickup.
