Weekday skip bins are delivered Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and will remain on your property for two nights and one day. Weekend skip bins will be delivered Thursday or Friday and will remain on your property over the weekend and will be collected either Monday or Tuesday the following week.
Due to logistical constraints some skip bins may be delivered to your property containing waste. Please be assured all skip bins delivered containing waste will be emptied on the same day as delivery and will not impact on your time to fill the skip bin (all residents will receive 24 hours from having an empty and usable skip bin).
Residents who do not have a verge, in most cases will still have access to the bulk bin service. If you have no suitable verge or location to place the bin, alternative drop off locations within your property boundary maybe considered by Cleanaway. This will be determined on a case by case basis.
For residents who have previously engaged this service, the City has documented your previous drop-off locations. This information has been passed on to Cleanaway and skip bins will be placed in the same location.
In rare instances, due to geographical constraints it may not be possible to place a skip bin on your verge or property. As such, residents are entitled to a credit as highlighted in the fees and charges.
In some instances the skip bin may arrive full, however it will be emptied by the end of the working day. A full skip bin will not affect the duration you have the bin for. The City recommends any hired contractors are booked for the following day.
Residents can dispose of clean bricks, tiles and building rubble at Walliston Transfer Station using their Entry Pass with proof of identification.
