Skip bins in Bundall

Bundall wraps around Southport Racecourse. River on the south side (the Nerang), Slatyer Avenue across the top. Each corner of the suburb produces a different kind of skip job.

• Sorrento (south): waterfront houses. Bin out front.
• Slatyer Avenue and surrounds (north): older family homes. Kitchens, bathrooms, floors.
• Commercial pocket: offices between Bundall Road and Ashmore Road. Fit-outs and strip-outs.

Sorrento: water at the back

Sorrento began life as a Nerang River canal estate: roughly 800 lots on the water, roughly 400 dry. Because the canal is behind the house, the truck drops at the front, usually onto the driveway. Give it a straight line in, and keep the footpath open. Gutting a whole Sorrento house? Plan on 6 m³ (≈ 24 wheelie bins) or 9 m³ (≈ 36).

Slatyer Avenue: 1950s lots

These streets were cut from the Bradbrook family's farm in the 1950s. Slatyer Avenue is one of eleven street names here honouring young servicemen lost in World War II. Typical work in houses of this age is kitchens, bathrooms and flooring, plus the odd garden clean-up. A 4 m³ is the sensible first pick. Before you start loading, set aside tyres, batteries and anything with asbestos: no bin accepts them.

Office strip-outs

Floor area and space on site set the size. Big fit-outs run to 9 m³, or to the 15 m³ hook bin at ≈ 60 wheelie bins. Ask the property manager about using the rear service area or car park. AM or PM can be chosen around trading hours, as a preference rather than a fixed slot.

Permits

Census 2021: about 75 per cent separate houses, most of the remainder townhouses. So the bin is normally on private land, and private land means no permit. Kerbside is the exception. For the nature strip, footpath or roadway, the City of Gold Coast issues the permit, you apply, and the responsibility is yours. Tiger Skips does not lodge applications.
