Soil, rubble, rock and concrete. Perfect for small clean-ups.
The builder-facing side of Tropical Skips, running 800 bins and 10 trucks across Cairns. Four sizes from 2 to 6 cubic metres, walk-in doors on some bins, and a yard that sorts what it collects, so a separated load costs you less.

Four sizes, one call
Real dimensions on every bin. Walk-in doors on some bins make loading couches, wheelbarrows and offcuts easy.

Not sure which size?
Tell us the job and we will match the bin. It is often cheaper to split waste across two smaller bins.

streams recycled
Metals, concrete and green waste are fully recyclable when kept out of general waste. We sort them at our own recycling centre rather than tipping them at someone else's, and that shows up in your quote.
2-6
m³ size range
Some of our bins open on the short end. Push a barrow in and tip it out, or walk a couch in at ground level, then shut the door and fill over the sides.
Same day
delivery for builders
Same-day delivery is what sets us apart. For builders we bend over backwards to hit it, and a bin is often on site within a couple of hours of the call. Collections can run to the next day when the run is full, and we will tell you straight.
7days
standard hire
Accounts and statements for builders, tradies and frequent renovators, with flexible hire times for account holders.
The fleet
Big Boyz Binz is the builder-facing side of Tropical Skips, the Cairns skip operation that started in 2019 with two trucks and 115 bins and now runs 800 bins and 10 trucks across more than 30,000 local jobs. Same yard, same drivers. Big Boyz exists because a building site does not want the same bin, the same hire terms or the same phone manner as a household clean-out.
What goes in
Keep metals, concrete and green waste out of the general bin and they are sorted at our own recycling centre rather than dumped, which costs less to process. Green waste becomes mulch, concrete becomes road base, metals go back into circulation. It is the biggest thing you control about your own quote.
General rubbish, furniture, appliances
Bricks, timber, roofing, plasterboard
Clippings, branches, garden trimmings
Uncontaminated soil, sand and gravel
Pallets, furniture, construction timber
Crushed into reusable aggregate
Segregated and recycled
Steel, aluminium, brass, copper
We do not accept gas bottles, asbestos, tyres, batteries, food scraps, liquids, paint or other hazardous materials. Unsure? Call first and we will point you in the right direction.
Straight answers
Same-day for builders, often within a couple of hours of the call. Everyone else, give us 24 hours where you can. We run multiple trucks across Cairns daily. Collections are the one job that can slip to the next day when the run is full, and we will tell you straight.
The standard hire period is up to 7 days. Need longer? We are flexible with extra days, and in most cases can extend the hire at a small additional cost. Finished early? Call us and we will collect it.
Pricing depends on the bin size and the type of waste going in. Call and talk it through with our team and we will quote a bin suited to your exact job. Separating waste types often works out cheaper than mixing.
Yes, as long as it does not block pedestrian access. A council car park needs a permit arranged before delivery, such as the parking bays in the Cairns CBD. A driveway or lawn is the easiest spot.
Yes. Some of our bins open on the short end so you can walk large items straight in, or push a wheelbarrow in and tip it out. Close the door and keep loading smaller items over the sides.
Because weight runs out before space does. Soil, rock, concrete, brick and tile are dense, so a 6m³ bin full of rubble is over the limit long before it looks full. Rule of thumb: if a bucket of the stuff would be heavy to carry, it belongs in a small bin. Light and bulky material like timber, packaging and green waste is the opposite, so size up.
Ring us and we will swap it. Full bin off, empty bin down in the same spot, same run. Do not load above the top rail to make it fit, because an overloaded bin is illegal to transport and the driver has to leave it behind. See swap or collect for what we need from you.
Yes. We offer accounts and statements for frequent users such as builders, tradespeople and renovators. Get in touch and we will set you up.
