Most homes here are apartments. Sort the spot with your building first, then pick a bin that leaves the visitor bays usable.
Apartments made up roughly three of every four Coolangatta homes in the 2021 Census, and over 40 per cent of homes were rented. So the first call is usually to the body corporate or building manager, not to us. They decide where a skip may sit.
When the date is set, let the building manager know. It saves the other residents a surprise.
This is the southern tip of the Gold Coast. The beaches run Kirra, Coolangatta Beach, Greenmount, Rainbow Bay and Snapper Rocks. From Point Danger, Boundary Street runs inland and marks where Queensland ends and New South Wales begins. The heritage-listed Kirra Beach Pavilion on Marine Parade is the obvious landmark for anyone finding their way in.
Move-outs by tenants and owners, holiday-let refreshes, apartment kitchen and bathroom refits, and the occasional renovation on one of the smaller number of detached houses. General Household takes the furniture and boxes; anything stripped from a kitchen or bathroom belongs in General Builders.
Most units are covered by a 3 m³ or 4 m³, good for 12 or 16 wheelie bins' worth, and either leaves more of the shared space free. Renovating a whole apartment may need a 6 m³. A house renovation or knock-down on one of the freestanding blocks suits a 9 m³; the 15 m³ hook bin is the step up where it fits. Concrete stops at a 6 m³ bin and dirt at 4 m³.
Inside the property boundary, including approved common property, there is no permit. Council land is the exception. A skip on council ground, whether roadway, footpath or verge, needs the City of Gold Coast's sign-off by permit, and both the application and its conditions sit with you; Tiger Skips does not apply for one. Coolangatta is on the Queensland side, and addresses across the border in Tweed Heads follow a different council.
Shed and garage clear-outs, or one small bathroom.
Kitchen and bathroom strip-outs. The biggest bin that takes soil.
Whole-room renovations and big clear-outs. The top size for concrete.
Rarely. Most basements lack the height the truck needs to lift a bin. An uncovered visitor park, a loading dock or a section of driveway is the better bet, once the body corporate or building manager approves it.
Usually a 3 m³ or 4 m³, which take roughly 12 and 16 wheelie bins. Furniture and boxes are General Household. Cabinets and tiles from a kitchen or bathroom are General Builders.
Only if the bin goes on council land: the roadway, footpath or verge. In that case you apply to the City of Gold Coast and carry the permit's conditions. Approved common property counts as inside the boundary, so it needs nothing.
Thirty-six hours minimum. Orders before the midday cut-off can arrive the next day. Tell your building manager whether you picked AM or PM; it is a preference, not a booked slot.
Postcode 4225 is in. Choose the waste, the size and a date.
