Common Questions
How much notice do you need for skip bin delivery in Birkdale?
If you call us before 12pm, we can often deliver the same day to Birkdale. We deliver Monday to Saturday, and being based in Devonport means we’re much closer to you than Auckland-wide services. For planned projects, booking a day ahead gives you the best time slots.
What happens if I put the wrong items in my skip bin?
Don’t worry – we hand-sort everything that comes in, so we’ll separate items appropriately. However, hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, or asbestos need special handling and can’t go in skip bins. If you’re unsure about something, just give us a call before putting it in.
Do you need much space for skip bin delivery in Birkdale?
Our delivery truck needs a minimum 2.5 metres driveway width to get to your property safely. If your driveway is narrower or you have tight access, we can discuss placement options on the street or alternative solutions when you book.
How long can I keep the skip bin for my Birkdale renovation?
Our standard hire period is 3+ days, which works well for most household and renovation projects. If you need it longer, just let us know when booking or give us a call. We understand that projects don’t always go to plan, so we’re flexible with timing.
