ABOUT US

When you book a skip bin through Fluro Skip Bins Adelaide, over 90% of your rubbish will be recycled. If you choose a general waste skip bin, where you can put all sorts of materials, the waste gets separated into different groups.

Metals are separated into ‘ferrous’ and ‘non-ferrous’, sold to domestic and export markets, and smelted for reuse as a direct replacement for virgin raw materials.

Masonry (mostly concrete and bricks) are crushed to produce a range of road-base materials which are sold on. These materials are direct replacements for materials traditionally quarried from the earth.

Timber is either sold to timber joineries for reuse in the manufacture of recycled furniture, doors, and windows, or shredded to produce saleable mulch typically used in the landscaping sectors (depending on the size of the timber).

Paper / Cardboard is baled and sold domestically to be re-used to produce new paper and cardboard products.

Plastics are baled and sold to various markets. Recycled plastic is sorted, cleaned and remanufactured into plastic pellets that directly replace virgin plastic raw materials. These plastic pellets are then used to manufacture a range of plastic materials, including automotive components, buckets and containers, and construction materials.

Suppose you have a combination of concrete and general waste. In that case, you can help the environment by cutting down the separation process of these materials – order 2 skip bins and put all concrete in one and all general waste in another – it will help the environment and save you money!

Fluro Skip Bins Adelaide is open every day. We deliver and collect skip bins from Monday to Saturday and are also open on Sundays for bookings. Our hours of operation are:

Monday – Friday: 7am – 5pm.
Saturday: 8am – 2pm (deliveries and collections only until approx 1.30pm. After this time, it is open for bookings only).

Public holidays: 9am – 5pm (bookings only – no deliveries or collections).

You can, but they should be placed on top of all other rubbish within the skip bin (making sure to keep level with the rim of the skip bin). There are no extra charges for electrical items. You can only put electrical goods in general and mixed waste skip bins. You cannot put electrical goods in green waste skip bins, concrete-only skip bins, clean-fill skip bins, or unclean / lawn & earth skip bins.

Here at Fluro Skip Bins Adelaide, we hire out our skip bins for up to 5 days. If you need the skip bin for longer, there could be an extra charge depending on if it’s peak / unpeak season or an exceptionally high demand period. You could get charged an extra $20 daily if you need the skip bin for over 5 days. Generally, the bigger skip bins (6 cubic metres skip bins, 7 cubic metres skip bins and 10 cubic metres mega bins) are more in demand than the smaller skip bins.

Yes. Mattresses, gas bottles, and tyres are $35 extra per item. You can get around the extra charge for the mattress by separating the inner springs from the material – cut around the edge of the mattress and pull apart the material completely from the inner springs. Put the material and the metal springs into the skip bin separately, and you will not get charged the extra fee.

If you have tyres to dispose of, they are also $35 each if you put them in the skip bin. However, there is a cheaper alternative – The Tyre Collectors in Wingfield offer cheap rates for tyre disposal.

You can request a morning or afternoon delivery when booking your skip bin. We can usually accommodate such requests. If you need the skip bin delivered at a particular time, this can be more tricky due to other commitments and driver runs. If you have such time restrictions, please advise our customer service team when booking – we are always willing to try and go that extra mile to accommodate your needs.

Your skip bin will be collected on the allocated day that you have booked for it to be collected or 5 days after delivery. Due to other commitments and driver runs, we cannot stick to any times for collections. If you haven’t booked your skip bin for collection, our service team will book it automatically after it has been on site for 5 days or text / call you to arrange it. Please ensure the skip bin is accessible to our drivers after the 5-day hire period to avoid extra charges.

No. If you need the skip bin for just one day, or for the full 7 days, just advise our customer service team when booking. We do have some busy periods where skip bins can be left for an extra day, so if you need your skip bin gone by a certain day please tell us when booking, and we will make sure it is collected when you need it collected. You can also request to have your skip bin delivered in the morning and collected in the afternoon. If this is the case, booking a few days in advance is best, and same-day collection cannot always be guaranteed.

Certain items must not be put into ANY skip bin. These are asbestos, chemicals, toxic waste, food, liquid, paint, contaminants, animal / human waste, soiled nappies, oils, flammables, explosives, and putrescible waste.

Bricks, concrete, pavers, rocks, tiles, dirt, soil, mulch or similar cannot be put into general waste skip bins.

General waste, green waste, dirt, soil, mulch, or similar waste cannot be put into concrete-only skip bins.

General waste, green waste, mulch, or similar waste cannot be put in clean-fill skip bins.

General waste cannot be put into unclean fill/lawn & earth skip bins.

General waste, dirt/soil, concrete, bricks, pavers, rocks, and tiles cannot be put into green waste skip bins.

Skip bins should be filled up only to the rim and not above. Overloaded skip bins are dangerous and illegal to transport. Therefore if your rubbish is over the rim of the skip bin, the driver will remove the offending items and place them next to the skip bin. If he cannot do this, we will ask you to level it out and remove the offending items. If we return to collect your skip bin after requesting it to be levelled out and you have not done so, then you will be charged a $30 call-out fee.

All our skip bins for general, mixed, and green waste have weight limits. When your skip bin is collected, it will be taken over a weigh bridge and the skip’s contents will be weighed. If the contents of the skip bin go over the designated weight limit for the size and waste type of the skip bin you have paid for, there will be an additional charge. Overweight skips are charged at $20 extra per 100 kg over the weight limit.

Weight limits differ for size and category. Please see our Waste Types page for the different weight limits.

We offer 6 different skip bin sizes:

2 cubic metre mini skip bins

3 cubic metre skip bins

4 cubic metre skip bins

6 cubic metre skip bins

7 cubic metre mega skips
