Refitting a single-fronted cottage in the streets behind the Sun Theatre, or stripping out a shop on the Anderson Street village strip? Those two jobs fill most of the skips we hire in Yarraville, and Binswest has been sizing bins to both since 2010. The catch with a cottage here is rarely the bin you want. It is whether a skip can sit on your own block at all, because the period grid was laid out before the car and a lot of these frontages run hard to the footpath. Tell us the address and what you are clearing, and we will sort where the skip can legally stand before you commit to anything. Skip bin hire and mini skip hire both run off the same daily round, so a 2m³ mini starts from $250 and a same-day drop is often on the table when you call by 9am.
Anderson Street Fit-Out or a Cottage Reno? The Job You Have Decides the Permit
Yarraville is the larger and better-known of the inner-west villages, a busy cafe and shop strip wrapped around Anderson Street and the Sun Theatre with a deep belt of Victorian and Edwardian cottages behind it. That gives the suburb two streams of bin work, and which one you have settles the council question before it settles the size.
A cottage renovation is the steadier of the two. Some of these period blocks still keep a side-driveway or a rear hardstand with room for a bin, and where the skip fits on your own land no permit comes into it. Others run too narrow for that, so the skip lands on the kerb or the nature strip and a City of Maribyrnong placement permit applies. The village strip is the other stream: a shopfront turnover or a cafe refit around Anderson Street almost always wants a kerbside or rear-laneway position on a footpath that stays busy, which needs the same Maribyrnong permit and a delivery timed around trading hours. Tell us which job you have and the street it is on, and we will read the placement first, then match the bin to it.
About Binswest
Binswest is a family-owned skip bin business founded in 2010 by Mark, run from our own Government-Approved Waste Transfer Station in Sunshine North, roughly 10km up the West Gate from Yarraville. More than 6,000 clients across Melbourne’s western, northern, inner and CBD suburbs have hired with us since then, and we hold accredited training across every part of the operation.
The depot is the part that matters once your bin is full. Every load comes back to Sunshine North and is sorted by hand rather than tipped straight to landfill, and in 2024 that put 41% of what we collected into recycling and another 35% into repurposing, leaving 24% for landfill. For a cottage strip-out heavy with old timber, plaster and tile, that sorting is where most of the material finds a second life instead of a hole in the ground.
Pricing for Bin Hire in Yarraville
The thing most callers want is a number they can read before they ring, so here it is per size, for general waste in our standard inner-west delivery zone:
-
from $250
-
from $350
-
from $450
-
from $550
-
from $650
-
priced on quote
These are flat starting prices with no hidden gate fee, and the delivery from Sunshine North is already in them, so the distance up the West Gate does not get added back at the end. Heavier loads such as soil, brick, concrete and other hard fill carry a weight limit per bin, so a half-filled skip of rubble can reach its cap well before it looks full. Tell us roughly what is going in and we will point you to the size that actually suits the weight, not just the volume.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery to Yarraville
Yarraville sits on a round we already drive every weekday, so getting a bin here is quick. Book before 9am and a same-day drop is often available, subject to how full that day’s run already is; book later and the next morning is the usual fallback. Our standard arrangement drops the bin Monday and collects Thursday, and the hire period runs three to seven days, with extensions if a renovation overruns.
You can book by phone on 0427 166 444 between 7am and 4pm on weekdays, or 7am to 1pm on Saturday. Online enquiries come through any day, Sundays included, and you get an instant confirmation with the delivery date and the details once a slot is locked.
- Monday to Friday7am – 5pm
- Saturday7am – 5pm
Which Skip Size Suits Your Yarraville Job
Our range runs from a 2m3 mini through to a 31m3 hooklift body, in Marrel, Hooklift and skip-bin types. On a Yarraville street the choice usually sits in the middle of that, because a narrow cottage frontage and a tight loading space outside the village shops both pull the size down rather than up. The ones we put on these blocks most:
- A 2m3 or 3m3 mini for a single-room declutter, a garden tidy or a small bathroom strip, where the side access is pinched and the load is modest.
- A 4m3 Marrel, with a wheelbarrow door and a walk-up ramp, for a standard single-room cottage renovation carrying tile, plaster and old cabinetry. This is the workhorse on a period block.
- A 6m3 or 8m3 walk-in for a whole-cottage refit, a deceased-estate clear-out, or a cafe fit-out where there is driveway room or a permitted kerb position.
A 4m3 Marrel is also the size to ask about when access is the worry: it lifts on and off in one piece, so it can be craned over a fence or set onto a hardstand a walk-in skip could never reach. The larger 10m3 and hooklift bodies suit an occasional bigger demolition or a multi-tenant strip-out along the strip, but on a single-fronted residential block they are rarely the right call.

What You Can and Can’t Put in the Bin
General household, renovation, garden and commercial waste all go straight in: timber, plaster, tiles, old cabinetry, green waste, soil, brick and concrete within the weight limit. The bin cannot be overfilled past the top rail, which keeps the load legal and safe to transport on these tight streets.
A short list of materials is barred by waste regulations and cannot go in any skip: asbestos, flammable liquids, wet paint, gas bottles, tyres and batteries. Heritage cottage strip-outs do occasionally turn up bonded asbestos in old eaves, fences or bathroom sheeting, which needs a licensed asbestos route rather than a general skip. If you are unsure what you are looking at, our full guidance on what is allowed in our skip bins spells it out, and we will talk any item-specific handling through when you book.
- 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

Maribyrnong City Council Permits for a Kerbside Yarraville Placement
The permit question turns on one thing: where the skip sits. Put a bin on your own driveway, hardstand or front setback and no council permit is needed. The moment it goes on the road, the nature strip or the footpath, the City of Maribyrnong requires a placement permit, and around the heritage-overlay pockets of the village the council also looks at street width and the position before it is granted.
This catches more Yarraville jobs than people expect, because so many cottage frontages and every busy spot on the Anderson Street strip leave the kerb as the only option. We arrange the permit side as part of the booking rather than leaving it with you, and we confirm the council’s current placement-permit fee at the time so there is no guesswork. Tell us the street and where you are hoping the bin can go, and we will tell you whether a permit is in play before anything is locked in.
Suburbs We Service Around Yarraville
Yarraville sits inside the City of Maribyrnong, and we run the neighbouring pockets on the same inner-west round. If your job sits over the line, we also cover bin hire in Seddon, the tightly-held cottage pocket around Charles Street next door, along with skip bin hire in Kingsville a few streets west. For a commercial or site clear-out on the industrial side, we handle bin hire in Tottenham and its factory estates as well. Same depot, same daily run, same flat pricing across all of them.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the side access. Where a cottage keeps a usable side-driveway, a 4m3 Marrel often fits because it sits as a single body rather than needing walk-in clearance. Where the frontage runs hard to the footpath, a 2m3 or 3m3 mini on the kerb under permit is usually the way to go. Send us the address and we will tell you which before you book.
Only if the bin sits on the road, the nature strip or the footpath. On your own driveway or hardstand, no permit applies. For a kerbside placement the City of Maribyrnong requires a permit, and we arrange that side and confirm the current fee as part of the booking.
Yes. A shopfront or cafe position along the strip almost always means a kerbside or rear-laneway spot, so we time the drop and pickup around your trading hours and sort the Maribyrnong permit for the footpath placement. Tell us the address and your hours and we will work the timing back from there.
A 6m3 or 8m3 walk-in handles most whole-cottage refits, carrying the tile, plaster, timber and old cabinetry a strip-out throws off. If you only have kerb space, we will weigh that against a 4m3 Marrel on a permitted position. Give us a rough idea of the rooms involved and we will size it properly.
Book before 9am and a same-day drop is often available, depending on the day’s run. After that, the next morning is the usual turnaround, since Yarraville is on a round we drive every weekday from Sunshine North.
