Waste types

Every stream, handled the right way.

Whether you’re clearing out your home, renovating, or managing a building site, knowing your waste type means we can process and recycle it responsibly. It’s often cheaper to separate waste into two bins than to mix it in one.

Household Waste

Everyday items from residential properties: general rubbish, packaging, furniture, appliances and other discarded items. Convenient skip solutions for responsible disposal.

Builders Waste

Construction and demolition materials from building projects: bricks, concrete, timber, roofing, plasterboard, metal and packaging. Bins in a range of sizes with proper disposal and recycling.

Green Waste

Organic material from gardens and landscaping: grass clippings, branches, leaves, shrubs and trimmings. Collected and recycled through mulching into valuable organic matter.

Clean Fill

Non-contaminated soil, sand or gravel from excavation, landscaping or construction. Properly managed and reused in applications like land reclamation and construction projects.

Timber

Pallets, furniture, construction timber and other wooden items. Recycled timber is repurposed for new applications, reducing demand for virgin timber.

Concrete

Broken or leftover concrete from construction, demolition or renovation. Crushed into reusable aggregates for road construction, landscaping and drainage.

Plasterboard

Drywall and gypsum board from construction projects. Segregated and recycled into new products, reducing demand for raw materials.

Metal

Steel, aluminium, brass and copper. Collected and recycled into new products, reducing the need for mining and contributing to a circular economy.

Specialty and combination bins

Single-stream bins, priced lower.

Keeping one material on its own is almost always cheaper than a mixed load. These bins are for exactly that. Bins containing other waste incur additional charges.
