Shed and garage clear-outs, or one small bathroom.
Acreage, sheds and fallen branches. Check the truck can get in, then size the bin.
On acreage, access matters more than size. Country driveways can run long, unsealed or through a gate, and some go soft when it rains. Walk the route first. The ground has to carry a loaded truck, the gate has to be wide enough, and nothing low, branches or wires, can hang over the drop spot. Unsure? Call 1800 462 674 and describe it before you book.
By the mid-1870s the village was already a hub for the district around it, built on cattle, timber cutting and farms. Two heritage-listed buildings sit near each other on Railway Street: the Wallaby Hotel, and the old post office that once housed the Nerang Shire Council chambers. Bonogin Creek feeds Mudgeeraba Creek, which crosses the district. Two roads head for the bush: Gold Coast-Springbrook Road climbs away to the south, and Hardys Road is the way in to Hinterland Regional Park.
Bedrooms tell the story. Half the homes here have four or more, and close to 80 per cent are detached houses (2021 Census).
Large houses on large blocks generate volume fast: a garden left to run wild, limbs brought down in a storm, a shed packed with old gear. Start at 6 m³ (around 24 wheelie bins) or 9 m³ (around 36). Knocking a structure down? That is hook bin territory, 15 m³. Village and estate house renos usually sit at 4 m³ or 6 m³.
Clearing the shed and the garden in one go? Order two bins. Branches and prunings get a Green Waste bin; the shed contents get a general bin, Household or Builders. Shed rubbish found in the green bin costs $150 in contamination fees. The QBCC cautions that older fencing and shed sheeting can contain asbestos. We cannot take it in any bin, so get suspect sheets tested before anything comes down.
Standard hire is 14 days. If the clean-up will drag on, buy 7 more days for $35 or open-ended hire for $50. You can take one of those, not both.
Your own land, front to back, needs no approval. The verge, footpath and roadway belong to council, so placing a bin there is something the City of Gold Coast must approve by permit, and you apply for that in your own name.
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.
It depends on the surface on the day. The ground must carry a loaded truck, and soft ground after rain can rule it out. Describe the driveway, the gate width and any low branches or wires on 1800 462 674 before you book.
It can. Pick an extra week when booking, or unlimited hire if the clean-up has no end date. You can have one of those add-ons, not both.
Two bins: Green Waste for the branches and prunings, and a Household or Builders bin for whatever leaves the shed. Shed rubbish found in the green bin costs a $150 contamination fee.
Thirty-six hours after booking is the soonest. Book before noon and a next-day drop is possible. AM or PM is your nominated half-day, not an appointment, so leave the gate open or have someone home for all of it.
