When you’re tackling that garden renovation in Narrow Neck, you need a skip bin service that understands your neighbourhood. As your local Devonport-based team, we’ve been helping North Shore residents manage their garden waste efficiently since our facility opened in 1977. Our hand-sorting approach means 78% of what you put in our yellow skips gets diverted from landfill, turning your garden clippings into valuable compost and landscape materials. Find out what can go in your skip bin before you start your project.

We stock four different skip bin sizes to match your Narrow Neck garden project perfectly. From small pruning jobs to complete landscape overhauls, our yellow skips are designed to fit most driveways while maximising your waste capacity. Just remember, we need at least 2.5 metres of driveway width for our truck to access your property safely.

Areas We Deliver Skip Bins To
From our Devonport base, we deliver skip bins throughout the North Shore and wider Auckland area. Our local knowledge means we know the tricky driveways, narrow streets, and parking challenges in each neighbourhood. We service Narrow Neck along with surrounding suburbs including Devonport, Bayswater, Belmont, Takapuna, Milford, Northcote, Birkenhead, Glenfield, Albany, Browns Bay, Torbay, Long Bay, Silverdale, Orewa, Whangaparaoa, East Coast Bays, and many more locations across Auckland.
“After nearly five decades at this location, we’ve learned that every neighbourhood has its own character and challenges,” shares our operations coordinator. “In Narrow Neck, we know which streets get congested during school pick-up times and plan our deliveries accordingly. That local knowledge makes all the difference.”
Common Questions
Can I mix garden waste with household rubbish in the same skip bin?
We prefer you keep garden waste separate from general household rubbish when possible. This helps us process your green waste more efficiently through our composting system. However, if you have a mixed clean-up project, just let us know when booking so we can advise the best approach for your situation.
What happens if it rains while my skip bin is on-site?
Rain is just part of Auckland life, and our skips are designed to handle it. The extra moisture actually helps with composting your garden waste later. However, if you’re concerned about weight limits due to waterlogged material, give us a call and we can discuss options like an early pickup or covering solutions.
Do you offer weekend skip bin collections from Narrow Neck?
We deliver skip bins Monday to Saturday, but collections can sometimes be arranged for Sundays depending on our schedule and your specific needs. Many of our customers find that keeping the skip for our minimum 3-day period means weekend timing works out perfectly for their projects.
How do you handle excess weight charges fairly?
We charge $20 including GST per 100kg over the weight limit, but we’re always transparent about this upfront. Wet soil and concrete are the usual culprits for weight issues with garden projects. If we notice your skip might be getting heavy during your hire period, we’ll give you a heads up so you can make informed decisions about what else to add.
