The fleet
Two rigs. One mission: zero wasted trips.
The crane rig carries a precision crane and three separate bin trays. It drops a fresh bin and lifts your full one without even moving, and the crane reaches over fences and down laneways, so your bin lands next to the mess, not halfway down the street.
Craned bins run 2 and 3 m³ and land where a normal skip truck can’t: courtyards, backyards, behind the fence.
New to the fleet
Bigger job? The marrel takes it.
When a clean-out outgrows the crane bins, the marrel skip loader steps in with 4 and 6 m³ marrel bins: full house clear-outs, big renovations, serious garden takedowns.
Same crew, same care, same 14 days’ hire. It just brings a bigger payload for driveways and sites with open access.

Questions
Straight answers.
Can’t see yours? Call or text 0478 013 893. You’ll talk to us, not a call centre.
Do I need a council permit?
For most jobs, no. Our 2 and 3 m³ bins are craned straight onto your property: the yard, the driveway or out the back. No council approval, no waiting, no extra fees. A 4 or 6 m³ bin that has to sit on the street or public land may need a permit, and we'll guide you through it. Wherever we can, we place the bin on private property so you skip the permit altogether.
How long can I keep the bin?
14 days on every bin. Most skip companies give you one week. Need longer? It's $40 for each extra week. Finished early? Call us and we'll pick it up.
How far ahead should I book?
As early as you can. Book ahead and we'll confirm your drop day so you can plan the job around it.
What does the price include?
Drop-off, 14 days' hire and tip fees up to the allowance for your bin and waste type. If the bin comes in over the allowance, the extra weight is charged at the rate for that waste type.
How do I pay?
Nothing to pay when you book. We email an invoice after pick-up, and you can pay by bank transfer, credit card or cash. Moving-house bins and mattress pick-ups are paid before pick-up.
What can't go in the bin?
Asbestos, Chemicals, Paint, Hazardous or toxic material, Gas bottles, Explosives, Food, Baby waste. Tyres, mattresses and large tree stumps are fine but carry an extra tip fee. If you're not sure, give us a call.
Crane or marrel: which bin do I need?
The 2 and 3 m³ bins come on our crane truck, so they suit tight access: narrow driveways, laneways, backyards and over fences. The 4 and 6 m³ bins come on the marrel truck and need open access. Tell us about your spot and we'll match the bin to it.
Where do you deliver?
Newcastle through to the top of Lake Macquarie. Not sure if your street is covered? Call or text 0478 013 893.
