Simple pricing
What the price includes
Skip bin prices in Indigo 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 700kg. 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.

What can go in your skip bin?
General waste
household clean-outs, furniture, boxed rubbish.
Green waste
prunings, branches, leaves and clippings only.
Construction waste
timber, plasterboard, renovation debris.
Brick and concrete
heavy clean fill. Watch the weight limit, not the volume.
What cannot go in any skip bin
Asbestos
Asbestos cannot be self-hauled anywhere in Indigo Shire. Council states plainly that "Indigo Shire Council Waste transfer stations do not accept Asbestos waste" and directs residents out of the LGA to the Albury Waste Management Centre in NSW. This is a hard constraint for any Indigo renovation involving fibro or asbestos cement sheet: there is no local gate, so the material has to be transported across the border, and no Indigo gate fee for asbestos exists to quote.
Mattresses
Mattresses are accepted at Indigo transfer stations at $33.40 each for a single and $43.70 each for a double, queen or king (2026-2027 adopted schedule). They are not covered by the free hard waste vouchers in any published statement, so assume the fee applies.
Tyres
Car tyres are $10.80 each, car tyres still on the rim are $15.20 each, and heavy truck tyres are $46.90 each per the 2026-2027 adopted schedule (up from $10.45 and $45.20 respectively).
Batteries
Car batteries are accepted free of charge at Indigo transfer stations, as is e-waste. No fee is levied.
Paint and chemicals
Paint is not accepted at Indigo Shire transfer stations; council directs residents to the Wodonga transfer station, which is outside the LGA. There is therefore no Indigo paint gate fee to quote.

Indigo runs this as a straightforward local law permit with an online application form, and it is priced per month or per annum rather than per placement, which suits builders who keep a bin on site for a long job.

Council waste services in Indigo, VIC
Free Council Collections
NOT FOUND – Indigo publishes no kerbside hard waste or bulky item collection service, and none appears in its bins, rubbish and recycling pages. The substitute is a voucher system: council’s transfer station page states residents receive two vouchers per property per year, each allowing one cubic metre of hard waste to be disposed of at no charge at a council transfer station. Caveat: this voucher entitlement appears on the council’s transfer station page but does not appear as a line in the adopted 2026-2027 fee schedule, so confirm current-year availability before relying on it.
Free Tipping for Residents
Two vouchers per property per year, each covering one cubic metre of hard waste free of charge at an Indigo Shire transfer station, per council’s transfer station page. Car batteries and e-waste are also accepted free at the gate. Against a general waste rate of $63.00 per m3, those two vouchers are worth about $126.00 a year to a household. The voucher line does not appear in the 2026-2027 adopted fee schedule, so treat the entitlement as sourced from the council web page only.
Tips and transfer stations
| Facility | Suburb | Hours | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beechworth Waste Transfer Station | Beechworth | Friday to Monday, 1pm to 5pm from 1 April to 30 November; Friday to Monday, 9am to 1pm from 1 December to 31 March (summer hours). | General household waste $63.00 per m3 with a minimum charge of $11.30 (2026-2027 adopted schedule; previously $54.60 per m3 and $10.30 minimum). Car tyres $10.80 each, car tyres with rim $15.20 each, heavy truck tyres $46.90 each. Mattresses $33.40 single and $43.70 double, queen or king. Fridges and freezers $11.90 each.

| Rutherglen Waste Transfer Station | Rutherglen | Friday to Sunday, 1pm to 5pm from 1 April to 30 November; Friday to Sunday, 9am to 1pm from 1 December to 31 March (summer hours). | Same shire-wide schedule as Beechworth: general household waste $63.00 per m3, minimum $11.30; car tyres $10.80, with rim $15.20; mattresses $33.40 single and $43.70 double or larger; fridges and freezers $11.90; car batteries and e-waste free. No EFTPOS limitations are published for this site but asbestos is not accepted. |
Indigo pushes both ways, and the deciding factor is asbestos. For ordinary household clean-ups the shire actively subsidises self-haul - two free 1m3 hard waste vouchers a year plus a low $11.30 minimum gate charge make a trailer trip cheap - so small jobs will not convert. But the transfer stations open only three or four afternoons a week, general waste is $63.00 per m3 once the vouchers are spent, and asbestos is refused shire-wide, meaning any fibro job has to be freighted to Albury. That combination, plus a road-reserve permit at only $65.00 a month, makes Indigo a strong market for larger renovation and demolition bins rather than domestic clean-up bins.
