Construction waste removal, Cairns

Waste Types We Take in Cairns

Household, builders, green waste, clean fill, timber, concrete, plasterboard and metal. Keep the metal, concrete and green waste separate and it is recycled, not tipped.

Eight streams, one docket

Separating the load is a price lever, not a lecture

Keep your metals, concrete and green waste out of the general waste bin and they get recycled rather than dumped. That costs less to process, and it is the single biggest thing you can control about your waste disposal costs. Talk to us before the bin arrives and we will work out whether one bin or two saves you money on the job.

  1. Household waste comprises everyday items generated from residential properties: general rubbish, packaging materials, furniture, appliances and other discarded items. We offer convenient skip bin solutions to help you responsibly dispose of your household waste.

  3. Green waste encompasses organic materials from gardens and landscaping: grass clippings, branches, leaves, shrubs and garden trimmings. We collect and recycle green waste through mulching, creating valuable organic matter for agricultural use and landscaping projects.

    Recyclable when separatedYes, shredded to mulch and compost

  4. Clean fill comprises non-contaminated soil, sand or gravel, typically generated during excavation, landscaping or construction. We ensure it is properly managed and reused in appropriate applications such as land reclamation or construction projects.

    Recyclable when separatedYes, reused as fill

    Soil and dirt

  5. Timber waste includes old or unused timber materials such as pallets, furniture and construction timber. Rather than letting timber go to waste, we prioritise recycling. Recycled timber can be repurposed, reducing the need for virgin timber resources.

    Recyclable when separatedYes, recycled rather than tipped

  6. Concrete waste consists of broken or leftover concrete from construction, demolition or renovation projects. We collect and crush concrete into reusable aggregates for road construction, landscaping and other applications, reducing the environmental impact of disposal.

    Recyclable when separatedYes, crushed to reusable aggregate, road base and drainage gravel

    Concrete

  7. Plasterboard, also known as drywall or gypsum board, is commonly used in construction. We offer specialised disposal solutions, ensuring it is properly segregated and recycled. Recycled plasterboard can be used to manufacture new products.

    Recyclable when separatedYes, segregated and recycled into new product

  8. Metal waste includes steel, aluminium, brass and copper. We collect and recycle metal waste, reducing the need for mining new resources. Recycled metal is transformed into new products, contributing to a circular economy.

    Recyclable when separatedYes, to a scrap metal recycling plant

Before you book

Which sizes each waste type is offered in

Building, general, household and green waste are taken in every size from 2m³ to 6m³. Clean fill is taken in the 2m³, 3m³ and 4m³ only. Concrete is taken up to the 6m³. Heavy material reaches the weight limit before it fills a larger bin, so above those sizes it cannot be booked at all.

Never in the skip

That means asbestos, tyres and batteries, paints and thinners, oil and liquid waste, gas cylinders, and food waste or perishable scraps. If you have any of these on the job, call us and we will point you at the right disposal route.
