Skip bins in Currumbin
Old fibro beach houses, hillside blocks and apartments on Pacific Parade. What to check first, which bin fits, and when a permit applies.
01 / Read this first
Fibro, slopes and old beach houses
Plenty of Currumbin houses began life in 1920s subdivisions, and a handful of the old fibro beach houses are still there. Fibro of that age may contain asbestos. No Tiger bin accepts asbestos; if it is found in a load, a $1,500 processing fee applies. Unsure what the sheets are made of? Have them tested before anything goes in the bin.
The suburb in brief
Currumbin is small but crowded with landmarks. The creek forms the northern boundary, Wyberba Street the southern and the Pacific Motorway the western. From Currumbin Alley the beach heads south. Thrower Drive bridges the creek into Palm Beach, and on Tomewin Street is the heritage-listed wildlife sanctuary. Later came apartments, high-rise among them, along Pacific Parade at the foot of the hill. The old Currumbin Hotel stood until 1996, and an apartment block now occupies its site. By the 2021 Census they made up roughly 40 per cent of homes.
Steep blocks
The hillsides are hard to build on, which is part of why the suburb has kept more natural bush than most of the coast. Bins need a level base. Look for the flattest solid patch you have, on the driveway or in the yard. In an apartment block, the car park and driveway are shared: ask the building manager before you book.
Sizing a Currumbin job
Emptying an apartment or refitting a bathroom fits a 3 m³ or 4 m³. A beach house renovation is a 6 m³ or 9 m³ job, about 24 or 36 wheelie bins. A full strip-out may call for the 15 m³ hook bin if there is room. Old cabinets and timber go in General Builders; furniture and boxes from a move go in General Household. Hillside soil is limited to a 4 m³ bin.
Permits
Inside the boundary there is no permit. Council land in front of the house (roadway, footpath, nature strip) is a different story: the City of Gold Coast must issue a permit first, and that application is yours to make and to answer for. Tiger Skips cannot apply for it.

Currumbin questions
Asked about Currumbin
When is the soonest a skip can be dropped in Currumbin?
Thirty-six hours after booking. If you book before 12 noon, Currumbin delivery can be the following day on the date you select. Morning or afternoon is your preference to state; it is not a promised time.
Can old fibro sheeting from a Currumbin beach house go in the bin?
Not unless you know it contains no asbestos. Every bin refuses asbestos, and a $1,500 processing fee applies if it is found. Get suspect sheeting tested first and dispose of it separately if it comes back positive.
Our Currumbin block is on a hill. Can we still have a skip?
Yes, as long as there is a level, firm patch the truck can reach, on the driveway or in the yard. If the only flat ground is the road or footpath, a City of Gold Coast permit comes first, and getting it is your job.
Is there a limit on soil from a hillside garden?
Yes. Dirt is accepted only in bins of 4 m³ or less because of its weight, and nothing 6 m³ or larger takes it. Bigger digs are split over several bins: phone 1800 462 674 to set that up.
