Weekly wheelie bins handle the crew waste, site office, and packaging on a Perth construction site. Rubble and demolition do not belong in them. An honest guide to splitting the two.
Get the scope straight first: Bin Hire Australia books weekly wheelie bin collection, not skips. On a Perth construction site that means the crew and amenities waste, the site office, and the packaging stream. It does not mean rubble, demolition material, or concrete. Builders who split those two problems early run cleaner sites and stop overpaying to solve the wrong one.
Booking the wheelie side is free and takes about two minutes: enter the site address and what the job is, see the exact per-collection price, and a vetted local Perth provider delivers the bins, runs the weekly collections, and invoices you directly.
Crew and amenities waste. Food packaging, lunch scraps, disposable PPE, general rubbish from the shed and smoko area. This is the stream that attracts complaints, gulls, and rats when it piles up, and the one a weekly 240L or 660L general bin quietly solves.
Site office waste. Paper, packaging, and day-to-day rubbish from the office donga. A 240L general bin usually covers it.
Packaging. Cardboard from fixtures, appliances, and material deliveries, plus cans and bottles from the crew. Since July 2026, Perth sites can book a commingled recycling bin (240L, 660L, or 1100L) alongside the general bin, so flattened cardboard stops eating general-waste capacity. Finishing-stage jobs, where appliance and cabinetry boxes arrive by the trailer load, benefit most.
Green waste. Landscaping crews on the final stage can book an organics or greens bin in the same three sizes. Also new to Perth as of July 2026.
Concrete, bricks, rubble, soil, timber offcuts, plasterboard, and steel are construction and demolition waste. They are too heavy and too bulky for a wheelie bin, and loading them into one usually makes the bin unliftable or unsafe. That material needs a skip or a specialist C&D carrier, which Bin Hire Australia does not book. Treated timber, asbestos-suspect material, and chemical waste need licensed handling, no exceptions.
The practical split on most Perth builds: a skip contractor cycles through during strip-out and structure, while a weekly wheelie service runs the whole length of the project for crew, office, and packaging waste. The wheelie service is the constant; the skips come and go with the phase.

Tell us your address and what your business does, and get your exact price in about 2 minutes. Free to book; a vetted local provider services and invoices you directly.
Get your exact priceSmall residential job or renovation crew: one 240L general bin weekly covers a crew of a few people.
Active house builds or mid-size fitouts: a 660L general bin, with a 660L recycling bin added when deliveries ramp up.
Larger commercial sites: 1100L general plus 1100L recycling on the same weekly stop, scaled by headcount. More bins on one stop beats extra collection days on cost.
The provider confirms the collection schedule in the quote. Volumes can change with project phases, so request any bin or cadence change from that named provider; its capability, exact rate and accepted terms control whether the change proceeds.
An unlocked bin on an accessible site fills itself. Neighbours, passing trades, and the public treat it as free disposal, and the crew loses the capacity it is paying for. Perth providers now offer a lockable option, a chain and coded padlock on any bin size, priced as a small add-on in the quote. For open or after-hours-accessible sites it pays for itself in reclaimed capacity. More on lockable bins here.
The service area spans 116 Perth metro postcodes, Alkimos to Port Kennedy, taking in the growth corridors where most residential construction runs: Butler, Ellenbrook, Baldivis, and the infill suburbs between. Full detail is on the Perth coverage page and the Perth hub.
Prices are postcode-specific and exact, never estimated: run the site address through the quote flow and lock the number before you book.

No. Concrete, bricks, soil, plasterboard, and demolition material are too heavy for wheelie bins and make them unliftable or unsafe. That stream needs a skip or specialist C&D carrier. The wheelie service covers crew waste, site office rubbish, packaging, and green waste.
Most sites run a weekly 240L or 660L general bin for crew and office waste, and add a commingled recycling bin when packaging deliveries ramp up in the finishing stages. Larger sites step up to 1100L bins on the same weekly stop.
Yes. Perth providers offer a lockable option, a chain and coded padlock fitted to any bin size, priced as a small add-on in your quote. On sites accessible after hours it stops the public filling the bin you pay for.
