Finding facilities
General practice only. Always check the facility source before you load the trailer.
The four loads people ask about most, hard rubbish, mattresses, tyres and e-waste, and the real Melbourne transfer stations that take each one.

Read the guideThe four things that drive a gate fee, why mixed waste costs the most, the levy you are quietly paying, and how to turn up with the cheaper load.

Read the guideThe autumn leaf drop and spring growth flush both bury the green bin. The realistic ways to clear a garden clean-out, from the free bay to a booked pickup.
Read the guideA facility may charge by weighbridge, by vehicle or trailer load, or by item. Minimum charges are common. Mixed waste can cost more because it takes more handling.
Keep metals, green waste, cardboard and problem items separate where the facility allows it. Sorting before the gate helps staff send each material to the right bay.
Common streams include general waste, green waste, scrap metal, cardboard, e-waste, mattresses and tyres. Each site sets its own acceptance rules.
Hazardous material, asbestos, liquids, gas bottles and batteries often need a separate service or a specific drop-off area. Do not assume a facility will take them without checking.
A tip run can make sense for a small load you can sort, secure and unload yourself. A skip bin can make sense when the job creates waste over several days or the material is too bulky for a trailer.
For a bulky, heavy or multi-day job, a skip bin or rubbish removal can beat the tip run. The booking panel below texts you local providers.
Green waste may go to a dedicated bay, council collection, private green waste processor or skip bin. Keep soil, plastic bags and treated timber out unless the facility source says they are allowed.
Branch size, palm material and stump rules vary. Check before you cut and load.
If the load is bulky, heavy or spread over several days, a skip bin or rubbish removal can save the tip run. Ask us to text you local providers, no numbers to copy down.
