Southport skip bins

Lots of CBD shops on Nerang Street and Scarborough Street sit right on the footpath with no driveway. Check for private ground first, such as a rear yard or a car park. If there is none, the skip ends up on the road, which means a City of Gold Coast permit. Get that sorted before locking in a delivery date.

Apartment towers generally have contractor rules; building management is the first call. Houses in the residential streets, Musgrave Hill for example, are straightforward: driveway, done.

The suburb

The city's CBD, and its biggest suburb by population. Marine Parade and the Broadwater Parklands on one side; Australia Fair and Nerang Street in the middle; Griffith University's Gold Coast campus and Gold Coast University Hospital further out. Census 2021: apartments over half of dwellings, and nearly 60 per cent of homes rented.

Jobs and sizes

Renters moving out keep skips busy here. Most end-of-lease jobs take 3 m³ (≈ 12 wheelie bins) or 4 m³ (≈ 16). Office and retail strip-outs in the CBD are larger; floor area decides between 6 m³, 9 m³ and the 15 m³ hook bin. On the residential side: renovations, garage clear-outs, garden overhauls.

Heavy waste

Concrete from a strip-out: 6 m³ bin maximum. Dirt: 4 m³ maximum. Over those caps, phone 1800 462 674 to spread the weight across two or more bins.

Permit summary

Within your boundary: none. Verge, footpath or road: City of Gold Coast permit, your application and your responsibility. Tiger Skips does not lodge permits.
