You the Hirer. If your employee’s or neighbours fill the skip bin on your behalf you are responsible for making sure it is filled to our requirements. Should you find green waste mixed through your rubbish or hazardous materials placed in the bin you must rectify this before filling the bin any further. Additional charges will be passed on to the hirer at the prevailing rates for bins that have been moved, overfilled, filled incorrectly (contaminated with green waste) or contain hazardous materials. By accepting delivery of our bin you acknowledge and agree to this condition of use.

How do I safely dispose of dangerous and hazardous items?
Contact your local council. Most have a free pick up or drop off point for ratepayers. Some waste fill facilities have free drop off for asbestos on the last Sunday of each month as a community service. This is in addition to free drop off of used paint, oil and herbicides etc. Please contact your local Waste facility or council for more details.
What happens to my waste after it has been collected?
At Phillip Island Waste and Recycling we are committed to protecting our environment. All waste is sorted on site and approximately 70% of all waste that enters our skip bins is recycled and turned into recycled products such as soil, fill sand, aggregates, woodchip, cardboard, steel, plasterboard and plastic.
What should I do before my skip bin arrives?
Make sure you have access for the truck. Advise your contractors to leave room for the delivery of the bin and the pickup of the bin when full. Make sure there is no overhanging trees or power lines (7 metres clearance required to comply with OH&S). Make sure your car, boast or caravan is moved if needed prior to the bin being delivered and that car keys are available for vehicles on site if needed. Make sure you have not placed your rubbish where your skip bin is to be placed.
Can you pick my skip bin up earlier?
Yes, if you require your skip bin to be picked earlier than the 7 day period we can definitely book that in. Please contact us to arrange the early pick up.
Can I move the skip bin?
No. The operator will endeavour to place the bin in your requested position. Moving the bin in most instances prevents the recovery of the bin and will result in extra charges for yourself and having to empty the bin out before it is moved again. Sometimes the skip bin cannot be placed where you want. This may be due to overhanging trees, power lines or sloping ground. Moving the bin requires special lifting apparatus. The bin needs to be lifted evenly to prevent damage to the bin and the lifting equipment on the truck. Moving the bin with cars or bobcats damages the bins and could potentially cause the bin to collapse on pick up.
Where can I place the skip bin?
The skip bin can be placed anywhere on your property, provided there is access for our truck. Bins are not allowed to be placed on the road or footpath where they may obstruct other traffic, without a council permit.
Do your bins have doors or ramps?
Skip bins 2, 3 and 4 cubic metres do not have doors or ramps. All hook bins 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 35 cubic metres do.
