Home renovations can be exciting — a fresh look, upgraded space, and improved functionality. But with all the progress comes one big challenge: waste. From broken tiles and timber to packaging and old fittings, managing debris efficiently is essential to keep your project smooth, safe, and eco-friendly.
At Express Skip Bins, we’ve helped hundreds of Melbourne homeowners handle renovation waste the right way. Here are our top tips to keep your waste under control and your renovation on track.
1. Plan Your Waste Management Early
Don’t wait until the rubbish piles up! Waste removal should be part of your renovation plan. Estimate what kind of materials you'll be disposing of — like wood, tiles, bricks, plaster, or old furniture — and plan the right disposal method from the start.
Pro Tip: Pre-book your skip bin with Express Skip Bins for same-day or scheduled delivery.
2. Choose the Right Size Skip Bin
Underestimating bin size can slow down your project and cost more in extra hires. Choose a bin that comfortably handles your waste volume.
-
Small Bins (2–4m³): Ideal for bathroom or laundry renos
-
Medium Bins (6m³): Great for kitchen revamps
-
Large Bins (8–10m³): Best for full home renovations or demolition projects

3. Sort and Recycle Where Possible
Not everything needs to go to landfill. Recycle items like cardboard, scrap metal, glass, and green waste. It helps the environment and keeps your project more sustainable.
We sort and recycle at our own facility — so your waste gets a second life wherever possible.
4. Keep the Site Safe and Clear
A clean worksite is a safe worksite. Use your skip bin to reduce trip hazards and keep tools and work areas free of obstruction. Make sure your bin is placed in a safe, accessible location.
Tip: Ask us about the best bin placement to avoid council issues or driveway damage.
5. Don’t Delay the Cleanup
Avoid letting waste pile up — it slows you down and looks unsightly. Toss debris into the skip as you go, and when it’s full, we’ll swap it out quickly to keep your work moving.
Fast pickups and bin swaps available across Melbourne.
