Cudgen, NSW 2487

Two NSW differences, same prices

Cudgen is a New South Wales village beside Kingscliff, roughly 14 km from Tweed Heads. Booking works the same as on the Gold Coast, at the same prices and with no NSW surcharge. Two things change:

Public land approval. For any bin on the verge, footpath or road, apply to Tweed Shire Council for its Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place; there is a council fee. The application is yours, and so is the responsibility. Tiger Skips does not lodge it.
The clock. Our hours and AM/PM windows are set to Queensland time. During NSW daylight saving that is one hour behind your clock.

About the village

The name traces to kidhin, Yugambeh for red clay. Population at Census 2021: 952. Median age: 39. Tweed Valley Hospital, at the corner of Cudgen Road and Tweed Coast Road, took its first patients in May 2024, taking over from the former Tweed Heads hospital. Local rugby league: the Cudgen Hornets.

Placement

82 per cent separate houses, the remainder townhouses or semi-detached (2021). House: the driveway works and no approval is needed. Townhouse: the body corporate decides first.

Sizing

Garage clear-out: 3 m³, ≈ 12 wheelie bins. Digging out a garden bed: 4 m³, the biggest bin we fill with soil. Larger renovation: 6 m³ or 9 m³. Prunings: Green Waste bin, kept separate. Concrete: 6 m³ bin at most. With plenty of young families in Cudgen, garage clear-outs and yard work make up much of the demand.

Cudgen questions

Asked about Cudgen

Is a Cudgen skip dearer because the suburb is in NSW?

No. Postcode 2487 pays the same as the Gold Coast. A 3 m³ Green Waste bin starts at $340 with delivery, pick-up and 14 days included.

When does a Cudgen skip need Tweed Shire Council approval?

Only once it leaves your land for the verge, footpath or road. That approval, to place a skip bin in a public place, carries a council fee and is yours to obtain.

I asked for a morning drop in Cudgen. Whose morning is that?

Queensland's. AM and PM follow Queensland time, which during NSW daylight saving sits an hour behind. Both are preferences, not set times.

How big a skip can I fill with soil in Cudgen?

4 m³ at the most, due to weight. Phone 1800 462 674 if there is more and the dirt gets split between bins.
