A few things worth knowing before you book:
- Fuel surcharge: This only applies when the monthly average diesel price goes above $2.20 a litre.
- Clean fill: Soil, bricks and concrete attract a discounted rate when they’re kept separate from general rubbish. A clean fill-only bin is $380. Mixed loads that combine the heavy stuff with household waste carry extra tip fees, so it pays to keep them apart.
- Separate the heavy stuff: Need both? Our two-bin deal gives you a 4m³ for clean fill and a 4m³ for general waste at $680 together.
- Afterpay: Available on all Hobart skip bin hire, so you can get the bin delivered now and pay it off in instalments.
Prices above are for Hobart and the surrounding council areas. Some outer zones attract a small delivery fee, listed in the service areas section below.
What Size Skip Bin Do I Need?
The size skip bin that your Hobart job calls for depends on volume, so think in trailer loads. One standard 6×4 trailer holds a bit over a cubic metre. Count how many trips you’d make to the tip and match it to the list below.
2m³
2m³ is about 1.8 trailer loads or 8 wheelie bins. A quick clean-up, so think one garage sort-out, a weekend of garden pruning, or clearing a couple of rooms of clutter before a move.
3m³
3m³ is about 2.7 trailer loads or 12.5 wheelie bins. Medium jobs like a bathroom strip-out, a big garden tidy or a shed clear. This is also the highest level you can fill with concrete, soil or bricks, because of weight limits on our trucks.
4m³
4m³ is about 3.6 trailer loads or 16.6 wheelie bins. Our most popular bin in Hobart and the one to pick if you’re on the fence. Kitchen renos, full garage clear-outs, moving house, and anything with long items like timber or old fencing.
6m³
6m³ is about 5.5 trailer loads or 25 wheelie bins. Whole-house declutters, deceased estates, big landscaping jobs and small building sites. Plenty of room and an access door so you’re not lifting over the side.
8m³
8m³ is about 7.3 trailer loads or 33 wheelie bins. Our largest bin and the one green waste customers keep coming back to. Also suits builders, large renovations and anyone clearing a block.
Still torn between two sizes? Order the UNI Skip and pay for the smaller level. If you end up needing the bigger one, you just pay the difference before pickup. No second delivery, no stress.

Delivery And Access
Hobart’s hills make for some interesting driveways. Our trucks need roughly 3 metres of clear width and a firm, flat spot to set the bin down. Steep is usually fine; soft lawn, low carports and overhanging branches can be a problem. Send us a photo if you’re unsure, and we’ll tell you before delivery day.
If your suburb isn’t listed, give us a call. We go further out than most people expect.
Try Our UNI Skip Bins
The UNI Skip is the reason so many Hobart customers won’t hire from anyone else. It’s three bins in one, with fill lines marked inside: a red line at 2m, a green line at 3m, and the top of the bin at 4m.
Here’s how it works:
- 4m UNI: Pay upfront for the 2m, with the option to upgrade to the 3m or 4m.
- 6m UNI: Pay upfront for the 4m, with the option to upgrade to the 6m.
- 8m UNI: Pay upfront for the 6m, with the option to upgrade to 8m.
Every UNI bin has an access door, so loading is a walk-in job rather than a lift.
What We Take and What We Don't
Standard Hobart skip bin hire covers household waste, green waste, recyclable materials and general renovation rubbish. Clean fill is welcome too, at the discounted rate above.
Not every skip company in Hobart will take bricks, rubble or soil in their larger bins, but we do. Load heavy materials up to the 3m level in any UNI bin, and we’ll take them away.
Extra fee items are fine, but you must tell us when you book and place them on top of the load so our crew can lift them out:
- Fridges and freezers: $40
- Mattresses: $30
- Car tyres: $30
- Truck tyres: $50
- Car batteries: $15
Never in the bin? Asbestos, harmful chemicals, and any containers of liquids or oils. If you’re unsure about an item, ask before you load it.
After you’ve booked your Hobart bin hire, make sure you put clean fill on the bottom, timber in the middle and metal on top. We can then sort the load at the tip for a small fee, which keeps your disposal costs down, or skip the sorting altogether and have our crew load the bin for you.

Hire a skip in Hobart, and you’re doing more than clearing your yard. Through our partnership with Foodbank, each booking creates 10 meals for Tasmanians facing hardship. Hobart customers have helped us pass 50,000 meals so far, and the number climbs every week.

Hobart Bin Hire Questions
How much does it cost to hire a skip bin in Hobart?
Hobart skip hire prices with Bins R Done start at $300 for a 2m³ bin and go up to $650 for an 8m³ bin, including delivery, pickup and a weight allowance. The standard hire period is 7 days. Fridges, mattresses, tyres and car batteries attract small surcharges, and heavy materials like concrete are priced as clean fill.
How much is a Hobart skip bin per day?
Skip bins in Hobart aren’t priced per day. You pay a flat rate for up to 7 days, so a $300 2m³ bin works out to roughly $43 a day if you keep it the whole week, or the same $300 if you’re done in two days. If you finish early, let us know, and we’ll pick it up sooner.
Why are skip bins so expensive?
Most of the cost is tip fees. Other Hobart skip hire companies charge by the tonne for general waste, with a state landfill levy on top. Add a truck, a driver, two trips to your property and the cost of maintaining the bins, and that’s where the price goes.
Our UNI Skip keeps your bill down by making sure you never pay for empty space.
Where can I find rubbish removal services in Hobart?
Right here. Our rubbish removal Hobart service sends two labourers with the bin to load everything for you.
Can my skip bin be placed on the street in Hobart?
If the bin sits on your driveway or anywhere inside your property line, no permit is needed. If it has to go on the road, footpath or nature strip, your local council needs to approve it first, and some councils charge a fee. Allow a few working days for this.
