Simple pricing
What the price includes
Skip bin prices in Burdekin are all-inclusive: delivery, collection and the tip fee are built into the quoted price, up to the bin’s weight limit. A 4m³ bin here includes disposal of up to 1,250kg. You only pay extra if you go over that limit, which is charged by the tonne — so the price you are quoted is almost always the price you pay.
Heavy waste is what catches people out. Soil, brick, concrete and tile reach the weight limit long before they fill the bin, so for heavy loads a smaller bin is usually the right call, not a bigger one.

Choose the right size
What size skip bin do you need?
Cubic metres mean very little until you translate them. The rule of thumb that works: one cubic metre is roughly one box-trailer load, or about four wheelie bins.

Batteries
Free and widely accepted. Lead-acid batteries are taken at Ayr, Home Hill and Giru transfer stations and Kirknie Road Landfill. Rechargeable and household batteries are taken at Ayr, Clare, Giru and Home Hill transfer stations and Kirknie Road Landfill. Solar and electric vehicle batteries are not accepted at any Council waste facility.
Paint and chemicals
Liquid paint is not accepted at any Council facility because Council is not licensed for liquid waste; residents are directed to the Paintback program at participating sites.

Paints and solvents are also expressly excluded from the Free Dump Weekend.
Council rules
Do you need a permit for a skip bin in Burdekin, QLD?
✓
Private property
On your own driveway or property: no permit is needed. That covers most bookings in Burdekin.
!
Public land / road
On the footpath / road reserve (Council's own pages use "footpath usage" and "local government controlled road reserves"), footpath or road: yes, a council permit is required. Treat as yes, but this is UNCONFIRMED for skip bins specifically and should be checked with Council. Burdekin Shire Council operates a Local Law 1 Road Reserve Works Permit for "works within Local Government Controlled Road Reserves", and Subordinate Local Law No. 1.2 (Commercial Use of Local Government Controlled Areas and Roads) 2012 governs commercial use of footpaths and roads. Neither Council page names skip bins or bulk rubbish containers, and no skip-bin-specific approval appears for Burdekin on ABLIS. The ABLIS entry that comes closest, "Approval to deposit or dispose of waste" under Local Law 8 (Waste Management) 2018, covers commercial, domestic and recyclable waste generally and does not address roadside containers. Confirm on (07) 4783 9800 before telling a customer a permit is or is not needed.

Where the bin can and cannot go in Burdekin, QLD
NOT FOUND for skip bins specifically. Council publishes no clearance width, setback, duration limit, reflector or night-visibility requirement, or neighbour notification rule for bins on a road reserve. What is published for footpath occupation generally is that a copy of public liability insurance must accompany every application (no minimum sum insured is stated), that a site plan showing the layout is required, that items must sit against the outer wall of the business and be on display only during opening hours, and that any works on a State-controlled road need Department of Transport and Main Roads approval, which Council submits on the applicant’s behalf. At the waste facilities, all loads must be covered when travelling.

Council waste services in Burdekin, QLD
Free Council Collections
NOT FOUND. Burdekin Shire Council publishes no kerbside hard waste or bulky goods collection service; its waste pages cover wheelie bin collections and the transfer station network only. What Council does run instead is an annual Free Dump Weekend at Kirknie Road Landfill (the published event ran Saturday 30 November and Sunday 1 December, 8am to 5pm) aimed at disaster season preparation, during which normal charges are waived on domestic waste oil, tyres, fire extinguishers, non-degassed white goods and air conditioners. Hazardous waste such as paints and solvents, chemical waste and contaminated soil are not accepted at all; green waste, scrap metal, tyres and concrete must be separated; standard charges still apply to commercial loads and to domestic asbestos; and loads must be covered in transit.
Free Tipping for Residents
Very generous and effectively unlimited. Council states that disposal is free for domestic Burdekin residents who separate the waste from the recyclable items, with proof of residency required. Fees apply only to unsorted loads and to commercial waste. All transfer stations also take common household recyclables, batteries, e-waste, fluorescent lights, scrap metal, limited quantities of used cooking and motor oil, cardboard and furniture in good condition at no charge. Payment where fees do apply is EFTPOS only. There is also the annual Free Dump Weekend described above.
Tips and transfer stations
| Facility | Suburb | Hours | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kirknie Road Landfill | Home Hill | Monday to Friday 8.00am to 1.00pm; Saturday 8.00am to 12.00pm; closed Sunday. Closed Christmas Day, Good Friday and from 1.00pm Christmas Eve. | Free for sorted domestic waste from Burdekin residents; fees apply to unsorted and commercial waste. Kirknie is the only site taking tyres, mattresses and solar panels, with fees for most of those. Specific dollar rates NOT FOUND (Council's fees portal would not render). EFTPOS only. |
| Ayr Transfer Station | Ayr | Seven days, 8.00am to 12.00pm and 1.00pm to 4.00pm. Closed Christmas Day, Good Friday and from 1.00pm Christmas Eve. | Free for sorted domestic waste from residents; fees apply to unsorted and commercial waste. Accepts recyclables, batteries, e-waste, fluorescent lights, scrap metal, used cooking and motor oil in limited quantities, cardboard and good-condition furniture free of charge. EFTPOS only. |
| Home Hill Transfer Station | Home Hill | Six days (closed Wednesday), 8.00am to 1.00pm and 2.00pm to 4.00pm. | Free for sorted domestic waste from residents; fees apply to unsorted and commercial waste. EFTPOS only. |
| Giru Transfer Station | Giru | Friday and Sunday, 2.00pm to 5.00pm. | Free for sorted domestic waste from residents; fees apply to unsorted and commercial waste. EFTPOS only. |
| Clare Transfer Station | Clare | Fortnightly on Sunday, 9.00am to 12.00pm. | Accepts general waste, recyclables and scrap metal only; most specialised items are refused. Free for sorted domestic waste from residents. EFTPOS only. |
Burdekin is the weakest of these five for skip hire on price alone: a resident who sorts their load tips general domestic waste for nothing, seven days a week at Ayr and six days at Home Hill, so there is no gate fee to arbitrage against. The commercial case here rests on volume, labour and the awkward streams. Anything unsorted or commercial attracts a fee, Kirknie is the only site that will take tyres and mattresses and it shuts at 1.00pm on weekdays and noon on Saturday, and asbestos requires a pre-arranged, charged booking at Kirknie alone, so a renovation or a deceased estate is still a bin job even in a free-tip shire.
