How much does Skip Bin Hire cost in Mackay?
Our skip bin hire prices in Mackay are affordable and transparent, so no hidden fees. The cost depends on your waste type and hire period, and we confirm the total before delivery. See Here for details.
What can I put in my Flexitow Skip Bin ?
You can fill your skip with general household rubbish, green waste, renovation debris, old furniture, and light construction materials. Items such as tyres, asbestos, paint, or hazardous liquids are not accepted.
How long can I keep a skip bin for?
Most customers keep the skip bin for 3 days, but you can extend the hire if needed — just let us know when booking.
Can I move the Skip Bin After Hire?
No, our driver will work with you upon delivery to ensure the trailer is parked in a location that both suits the customers’ needs and is the safest location for the trailer.
Due to insurance reasons a customer is not permitted to move the skip bin trailer once delivered. If for any reason you need to move the Trailer after delivery, please contact us via phone or email and we will organize a time to come and move it for you.
Do I need a council permit for Skip Bin hire in Mackay?
If your skip bin is placed on private property, you don’t need a permit. For bins placed on public streets or nature strips, the bins are registered and can be placed without a permit.
Will I need a council permit to park the Skip Bin?
No, our Skip Bin Trailers are all registered and do not require any council permits. You can park our trailers anywhere a car can be parked.
How soon can you deliver a Skip Bin?
We usually offer same-day or next-day delivery throughout Mackay and nearby suburbs. For weekends or busy periods, early booking is best.
What Skip Bin sizes do you offer?
FlexiTow keeps it simple — we provide one convenient 4 m³ skip bin, ideal for most home, garden, and renovation clean-ups. One size that suits almost every job. If your job is bigger talk to us about a better rate for the second or third bin.
Can I mix green waste and General Rubbish ?
Yes, small mixed loads are fine. However, separating heavy materials like soil, concrete, or green waste can help lower disposal costs and increase recycling.
Can the Skip Bin be positioned exactly where I need it ?
Absolutely. Our skip bins are on wheels like a trailer, allowing us to move and position them safely into driveways, carports, or tight access areas — close to where you’re working. They can also be positioned in underground car parks or high-rise loading areas, provided there is sufficient height clearance and access.
Do I need to pick up or return the Skip Bin myself ?
No — FlexiTow handles delivery and collection. You simply fill the bin, and we’ll come and take it away when you’re done. No towing or transport required from your side.
Can I put Asbestos in a Flexitow Skip Bin ?
No — asbestos is strictly prohibited. It requires specialised handling and disposal by licensed operators. If you suspect you have asbestos materials, contact a qualified asbestos removal service in Mackay before hiring a skip.
Can I put oil paints or other liquids in the Skip Bin ?
No — liquids such as oil, paint, chemicals, or fuel cannot be placed in the skip bin. They can leak, create safety hazards, and contaminate other waste. Please use your local waste facility or recycling centre for liquid disposal.
Where does the rubbish go after pick up?
All Skip Bin waste collected in Mackay is taken to licensed recycling and disposal facilities. We separate recyclable materials wherever possible to reduce landfill.
