01 / The usual work

What Mermaid Beach throws out

The Mermaid Beach Estate, as the first land offered here was marketed, dates from about 1924. Today the Gold Coast Highway splits the suburb down the middle and Nobby Beach occupies its southern end. At the 2021 Census about six dwellings in ten were flats or apartments, and the rest divided evenly between separate houses and townhouses.

That mix sets the jobs. Apartment and townhouse owners refresh kitchens, bathrooms and floors. Close to half of households rent, so end-of-lease clear-outs come up often. On the house blocks it is more often a garden clean-up, or at the far end a knock-down ahead of a rebuild.

Size by job

A unit refresh or one room fits a 3 m³ or 4 m³, about 12 or 16 wheelie bins. A whole-house renovation or a large garden overhaul suits a 6 m³ or 9 m³. Demolition is work for the 15 m³ hook bin, if the block has the space. Rubble and soil stay under their caps: concrete in a 6 m³ at most, dirt in a 4 m³ at most.

Duplexes and shared driveways

Hedges Avenue, on the ocean side of the highway, carries the Gold Coast Oceanway path. Many duplexes and small unit blocks in the suburb share one driveway. Agree on the bin's spot with the other households first, and leave enough width for cars. Where the driveway is short, the smaller sizes fit better.

The morning of delivery

Have the landing spot empty and parked cars moved out of the truck's path.
Treat AM or PM as a preference, not a booked slot.
Expect the job to run past 14 days? Add an extra week or unlimited hire at checkout.

Council permits

Driveways and front yards are private, so no permit. The street, the footpath and the verge are council land, and the City of Gold Coast issues permits for them. That application is yours, and so is the liability; Tiger Skips stays out of it.

Mermaid Beach questions

Asked about Mermaid Beach

Could a Mermaid Beach skip arrive tomorrow?

It can if the booking is in before midday, since the minimum notice is 36 hours. Pick the date online and say whether morning or afternoon suits. The driver works to that preference, though it is not a fixed time.

Which bin suits an end-of-lease clear-out in Mermaid Beach?

Furniture, boxes and general rubbish from a move-out go in a General Household bin. A 3 m³ or 4 m³ covers most units. A mattress is accepted in most bins but has to be declared at booking, at $100 each.

Three of us share a driveway. Where should the bin go?

Somewhere all three households agree on, with a gap left for cars. Kept on the property, it needs no permit. Without room on site, the bin goes kerbside, and that requires a City of Gold Coast permit; applying is up to you.

We are knocking down a Mermaid Beach house. Can concrete go in the big bin?

Not in the 15 m³. Concrete and clean rubble are capped at a 6 m³ bin because of weight, and soil at 4 m³. Put mixed demolition waste in the hook bin and book the slab separately, or call 1800 462 674 to split a heavy load.
