  2. Weight Allowance
    Each skip bin hire includes a weight allowance which will be communicated at the time of booking.

The hirer authorises RBC to charge these excess fees to the original payment method once disposal has been completed.

  4. Placement of Bins

    • Skip bins cannot be placed on roadsides or footpaths without a valid council permit.

    • The hirer is responsible for ensuring compliance with council regulations and will be liable for any costs if a bin must be moved from an “unpermitted” location.

    • RBC can assist with permit enquiries if required.

  5. Responsibility for Waste
    The hirer is responsible for all materials placed in the skip bin, including those placed by third parties when the bin is on public land.

  6. Delivery & Collection Times
    Skip bin delivery and collection may occur anytime between 6:00am and 6:00pm on scheduled days.

  7. Loading of Bins

    • Bins must not be filled above the rim.

    • Contents must be loaded safely to prevent spillage during lifting, removal, or transport.

    • The maximum load weight per skip bin is 4.0 tonnes. The hirer must not exceed this limit.

    • Tyres, televisions, monitors, fridges, microwaves, polystyrene

    • Asbestos, dead animals, hazardous, flammable, or explosive materials

    • Car batteries, gas bottles, liquids, paints, or any items deemed unacceptable by RBC or local landfills

  9. Cleanfill Bins
    Cleanfill bins are strictly limited to: concrete, rocks, bricks, asphalt, clay, sand, dirt, and ceramic tiles. No other waste is permitted. Mixed waste charges apply if non-cleanfill material is included.

  10. Compliance

  • Excess weight charges, if applicable

  • Charges for extended hire beyond the agreed period

  • Costs incurred for relocating a bin from an “unpermitted” location

  • Any debt collection or legal costs incurred in recovering unpaid charges

  1. Liability
    The hirer indemnifies RBC against any claims, damages, or losses arising from the use, placement, or misuse of a skip bin.

  2. Unrecovered Fees
    If excess weight charges cannot be collected retrospectively, RBC reserves the right to require upfront payment for future hires to cover potential disposal fees.

  3. Recyclable Materials
    Under certain circumstances, recyclable material may need to be sent to landfill (e.g. contamination, processing limitations, or market conditions). If recyclables are contaminated beyond acceptable levels or prohibited items are found in the bin, the hirer will be liable for any resulting additional disposal charges.
