Simple pricing
What the price includes
Skip bin prices in Wellington 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 1,000kg. 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.

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.

Tips and transfer stations
| Facility | Suburb | Hours | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kilmany Resource Recovery Centre, Velore Rd | Kilmany | NOT FOUND - council's facility-locations page returned no items for hours on the day of research | General domestic waste (effective 1 July 2026): $16.00 per quarter-m3 up to $384.00 for 6m3 ($64/m3). Green waste $18.00/m3 |
| Maffra Landfill, Sellings Rd | Maffra | NOT FOUND | As per Kilmany |

Wellington is a sparse shire with eight small tips on limited hours and a firm $64/m3 domestic gate rate, so a hired bin is competitive against multiple self-haul trips for anyone outside the immediate Sale/Maffra/Yarram orbit - and the annual hard waste round excludes mattresses, tyres and building materials, which pushes renovation waste toward bins.
