13.01.2022 Have you heard that there is the reintroduction of the QLD government waste levy that is occurring from the 1st of July 2019? What does this mean to you if you are considering a skip bin? In a nutshell, the waste levy will increase the costs of skip bins to consumers by more than double the price! We have done our best to mitigate the effects by sourcing alternative disposal options, and will continue to do so to ensure our customers are getting the best value for money.... Some of the things to consider when ordering a skip- 1. Is there anything you are looking at disposing that could be recycled- such as steel, timber, cardboard, etc? Separate these items and accumulate them for recycling. 2. Could you separate different types of waste and remove the heavier items such as bricks, blocks and inert clean fill and use them for other purposes? Doing the above can assist in reducing the size of skip you need and therefore the cost of disposal. As well as recycling materials to be used again another day https://www.qld.gov.au//manag/waste/recovery/disposal-levy

11.01.2022 We have 2m3 bins stacked to the hills! Book and have one delivered today, and keep it for up to a week! These bins are great for a small clean up. Currently priced at $120 for Edmonton to Palm cove, these bins will double in cost when the new waste levy hits at the end of the month! ... Get in soon to avoid the levy. Comment below, send us a message or call 0407167776 to get one on its way

08.01.2022 **Last chance, entries close midnight! Will be drawn tomorrow

07.01.2022 How great is this! Fingers crossed more hospitals and work places get on board and recycle its better for the environment AND it can save money, or make money for the business

06.01.2022 When the old wheelie bin just isn’t going to cut it for the yard clean up ... we’ve got you covered!

06.01.2022 So I have been lucky enough to purchase this business from Michael who has run it for the last 5 years. Michael put a huge effort in to rebrand the business (when he purchase it) as you can see in the photos, as well purchasing new bins to be able to take on more work! You may have seen the pink truck and bins on the streets of Cairns. Michael has provided an awesome service and has left the business with a great reputation. A level of service I will strive to achieve going f...orward. I just wanted to thank Michael for everything, the transaction of the business has gone so well and I couldnt be happier.

03.01.2022 Sometimes its hard to decide what size skip to get.. This customer asked for a 2m3 which is our smallest (on the left). When we dropped it off they quickly realised it wasnt going to cut it ! I quickly returned with a 9m3 for green waste and 4m3 for general waste and these guys were able to get on with their clean up.
