Simple pricing
What the price includes
Skip bin prices in Perth 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.
Western Australian prices step up each July because the state landfill levy rises on a published schedule — it is $88 per tonne in 2025–26 and is legislated to reach $97 per tonne by 2029–30. That levy sits inside the disposal fee, which is why separating clean fill or green waste into its own bin often costs less than one mixed bin.

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.
