The Skip Bin service is an on-request service. Residents can select from either a general waste bin (blue) or green waste bin (green). Households are entitled to any combination of up to three skip bins per financial year (excludes commercial and industrial premises). Both the general and green waste skip bins are three (3) cubic metres.
PLEASE NOTE: Skip bin allocations for each financial year are determined by the delivery date NOT the booking date. Skip bin allocations cannot be carried over to the next financial year. If you book in June for a July delivery, the skip bin will be from the new financial year's allocations. It is recommended residents book skip bins earlier to ensure skip bins are available and to enable you to utilise your allocations within the current financial year.
Households that meet the following criteria are entitled to an additional green waste bin(s) only, to assist with bush fire management.
If cancelling your skip bin order, please call Cleanaway Services on (08) 9449 3332 or email malaga.municipalcouncils@cleanaway.com.au allowing at least 48 hours for deliveries between Tuesday to Friday. Cancellations for Monday deliveries must be done no later than Thursday 4pm.

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.
Other waste can be disposed of at Red Hill Waste Management Facility (fees apply for use of this facility)
City waste collection services have never included the disposal and removal of household hazardous waste. Refer to our disposal of hazardous waste section.
NOTE: Safe disposal of hazardous waste is essential, please follow guidelines.
When a property changes hands the new owner receives a new full year allocation of skip bins valid until 30 June. If a rented property has new tenants this does not apply.
The new resident needs to call Waste Services on 9257 9999 to advise that they want their allocation reset.
