How it works
1Tell us about the clean-up
Choose your suburb, skip size and waste type in the quote form and add your details.
2We pass it to one local operator
Your enquiry goes to one operator who services Dubbo or your part of the region, not to a list of companies.
3They confirm price and delivery
The operator rings you, confirms price and drop-off, and you only book if it suits.
Dubbo Skip Bins is a referral and quote service run by Raf Web Studio. We don't own trucks or bins and we don't take payments. The operator who quotes you supplies the skip and sets the price and hire terms.
Skip bin sizes for Dubbo jobs
Dubbo's new estates mean plenty of builders' waste, while older homes and farms produce bulky clean-outs. A 2–3 m³ skip handles a shed, 4–6 m³ a renovation, and 8–12 m³ a new build or a big property clean-up. Skips are measured in cubic metres (m³). Wheelie bin comparisons assume a standard 240-litre bin (0.24 m³). Trailer loads assume a 6×4 box trailer loaded level with its sides, roughly 1 m³. Shapes and dimensions vary between operators, so we don't list exact measurements.
Illustrations are approximate and not to an exact scale.
Mini skip
≈ 8 wheelie bins · ≈ 2 trailer loads
A shed or garage clean-out, or a small load of soil, rock or broken concrete.
Small skip
≈ 13 wheelie bins · ≈ 3 trailer loads
A backyard clean-up or a room or two of old furniture.
Bathroom or laundry reno
≈ 17 wheelie bins · ≈ 4 trailer loads
A bathroom or laundry renovation, or carpet and underlay from a rental.
Kitchen reno or big clean-up
≈ 25 wheelie bins · ≈ 6 trailer loads
A kitchen renovation, or clearing a rental between tenants.
House clear-out
≈ 33 wheelie bins · ≈ 8 trailer loads
Moving house or clearing a deceased estate.
Large renovation
≈ 38 wheelie bins · ≈ 9 trailer loads
Bigger renovations and extensions with mixed building waste.
Builders and big jobs
≈ 50 wheelie bins · ≈ 12 trailer loads
New builds in estates such as Keswick or Southlakes, or a large farm clean-up. Needs good access.
Some operators offer skip bags or larger hook-lift bins for commercial and farm jobs. Heavy waste (soil, rock, concrete) usually needs a smaller bin because of weight limits.
What can and can't go in a skip
Waste type matters as much as size. Loads are sorted and tipped at licensed facilities, mainly the Whylandra Waste and Recycling Centre west of town, and each type of waste costs a different amount to dispose of.
Usually accepted
- General household waste: furniture, toys, clothes, boxes, cupboard contents and general junk.
- Green waste: gum branches, prunings, lawn clippings and dry storm debris (often cheaper on its own, with no dirt or rubbish mixed in).
- Renovation waste: timber, plasterboard, old cabinets, carpet, tiles and fittings.
- Heavy or clean fill: soil, sand, concrete, bricks, rock and pavers (often needs its own bin and has a lower weight limit).
- Scrap metal: old roofing iron, fencing wire, steel posts, farm gates and machinery parts.
Not accepted, or extra charge
- Asbestos and fibro: never in a normal skip (see below).
- Tyres: usually banned or charged per tyre.
- Car and household batteries: a fire risk in a skip.
- Gas bottles and aerosols: can explode when compacted.
- Paint, oils, chemicals and liquids: including farm chemicals, pool chemicals, sump oil and paint.
- Mattresses: often accepted for an extra fee.
- Food waste, medical waste and e-waste: check first. Many operators won't take TVs, computers or fluorescent tubes.
A note on asbestos
Many older Dubbo and Wellington homes, sheds and farm buildings have fibro walls or asbestos-cement roofing. In NSW, removing more than 10 square metres of bonded (non-friable) asbestos needs a licensed removalist, and any friable asbestos needs a Class A licence. See SafeWork NSW's asbestos guidance. If you suspect asbestos, say so on the quote form. Never hide it in a general skip.
Dropping things off yourself
The Whylandra Waste and Recycling Centre is on Cooba Road, off the Narromine Road, about 15 km west of Dubbo. Dubbo Regional Council lists it as open weekdays 8am to 4:45pm and weekends 9am to 4:45pm, and it's cashless. Commercial and asbestos customers aren't admitted after 4:15pm. Check Dubbo Regional Council's website for fees and accepted items.
Skip bin prices in Dubbo
We looked for published skip bin prices from operators servicing Dubbo on 23 Oct 2026. Local operators we found don't publish price lists, and the national comparison figures we found were inconsistent, so we don't show them.

Prices vary by size, waste type and job. The operator quotes for your exact bin size, waste type and address.
What changes the price
Size and weight
Larger bins cost more, though the cost per cubic metre usually drops. Heavy waste is limited by weight.
Waste type
Clean green waste and general rubbish usually cost less to tip than mixed building waste, soil or concrete.
Distance and hire length
Rural deliveries to Ballimore, Stuart Town or Eumungerie, extra hire days and difficult access can add to the price.
To keep costs down, sort heavy and green waste from general rubbish and book only the days you need.
Putting a skip on the street: Dubbo Regional Council rules
Last checked: 23 Oct 2026
On your own property
Your own driveway, yard or a firm patch of ground is the easiest place for a skip. Council's section 68 approval is for skips in a public place, so a bin wholly on your property generally doesn't need it. On rural blocks, make sure the truck has a firm, dry track in and out.
On the road, footpath or nature strip
Dubbo Regional Council requires an "Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place" under section 68 of the Local Government Act 1993, applied for through the NSW Planning Portal. Council considers the location, size and visibility of the bin. Its 2025–26 fees list an application fee of $185 and land rental of $1,029 per month for a skip in a public place.
Before you book a skip on the street, check with Dubbo Regional Council on 02 6801 4000 or council@dubbo.nsw.gov.au, or visit the council website. Fees change each financial year, so confirm the current amount. Mention it on the quote form too.
Wherever the skip goes, keep it clear of driveways, hydrants, bus stops and footpaths, and don't fill it above the rim.
