3m³ Skip Bin Hire
Our smallest skip bin. A 2.4 m long footprint and low 0.9 m sides make it easy to place and easy to load by hand.
Is the 3m³ right for you?
The 3m³ skip bin suits small jobs where space is limited. Think a garage tidy-up, a weekend in the garden or clearing out a spare room. It is $490 including GST, with 450 kg included and up to 7 days' hire for general waste.
If you are searching for a 3m skip bin in Coffs Harbour because your driveway is short or your job is small, this is the one to start with. It is also the lightest included weight in the range, so it suits bulky, light rubbish better than heavy material. Not sure? Compare it with the other sizes on the skip bin sizes and prices page.

Suitable jobs
What a 3m³ Skip Bin Suits
Garage and shed tidy-ups
Old boxes, broken tools, worn-out outdoor furniture and general clutter. The low sides mean you can tip loads straight in without a step.
Small household clean-ups
Clearing a spare room, a cupboard purge or the odds and ends before visitors arrive. Mattresses and bed bases are accepted at $42 per item.
Garden and green waste
Prunings, clippings and hedge trimmings from a weekend in the yard. Green waste is light for its bulk, so pack it down as you go to use the space well.
General rubbish after a small project
Packaging, offcuts and leftovers from a small DIY job. Keep paint, chemicals and batteries out, as they cannot go in any bin.
Tight sites and short driveways
At 2.4 m long it is the shortest bin in the range, which helps on compact blocks and townhouse driveways.
When Another Size Makes More Sense
Step up to the 4m³ skip bin if you expect to fill the 3m³ before the job is done. It has the same low 0.9 m sides, so loading is just as easy. The difference is length: 3.2 m against 2.4 m. Check that your driveway or site can take the extra 0.8 m before you book it.
The 4m³ also comes with more included weight, 600 kg against 450 kg. If your load is on the heavy side, that extra allowance can matter more than the extra space.
Heavy materials such as concrete, bricks, tiles and sand tend to hit the weight limit well before the bin looks full. Read the heavy materials guide and contact the team before you book for that kind of waste.
Access and Placement
- The 3m³ is 2.4 m long and 1.6 m wide, so it suits shorter driveways and smaller hardstand areas. Measure your space before booking.
- Allow clearance around the bin and overhead for the truck arms. Watch for low branches, eaves, carports and power lines above the drop spot.
- Choose a level, stable surface so the bin sits flat and can be lifted safely at collection.
- Note any access restrictions in your booking request, such as a narrow gate, steep driveway or tight turn. If the bin needs to go on the road or verge, read the council requirements guide first.
