Check your price
Enter your postcode to see whether a local provider covers your venue, and your exact price if they do.
How it works for organisers
Tell us your event
Postcode, event dates and expected size. We check coverage and show you straight away whether a local provider services your venue.
Bins delivered before you open
Your provider delivers ahead of bump in, so bins are in place before the first stall or gate opens.
One provider, exact price upfront
The same provider delivers, services if needed, and collects. Your exact price is shown before you book, no surprises after the event.
Collected after pack down
Bins are collected once your event closes and bump out finishes, so the site is clear the next day.
Event types we cover
From a monthly market to a weekend festival, bin hire is booked per event date, sized to that event.
Markets
Weekend and regular markets, farmers markets and night markets, where stallholder cardboard and patron waste both need a plan.
Festivals
Music, food and cultural festivals with a defined bump in, live event and bump out, each producing a different waste shape.
Pop-ups
One-off pop-up shops, launches and temporary activations on streets, laneways and vacant lots.
Sporting events
Fun runs, tournaments and one-day sporting fixtures with spectator areas and a hard finish time for pack down.
Community events
Fetes, fairs, school events and council-run community days where organisers need capacity without owning a fleet of bins.
What to plan before you book
General guidance for sizing and streaming your event's waste. Your provider confirms the specifics for your booking.
Bin count in principle, not a guess after the fact
As a general principle, bin capacity should scale with expected crowd size and how much food and packaging your event generates, not a flat number applied to every event regardless of size. A quiet Sunday market and a headline festival at the same venue will need different capacity. Talk to your provider about your expected numbers, food offering and event duration so capacity is planned before bump in, not discovered during it.
General waste and recycling as separate streams
Where your venue and waste plan support it, keeping general waste and recyclables such as cardboard in separate bins keeps stallholder and patron waste manageable and avoids contaminating recyclable material. Confirm with your provider which streams they can service for your event.
Bump in, live event and bump out are three different waste jobs
Bump in produces cardboard and packaging as stalls set up, the live event produces ongoing general and food waste, and bump out produces a final surge as everyone packs down at once. Plan delivery and collection timing around all three, not just the hours patrons are on site.
Council permits, street activity approvals and venue waste conditions still sit with your council and landowner. Confirm those requirements for your specific site and event.

Frequently asked questions
Is event bin hire available right now?
Perth is the one metro with a live provider today, running 7-day general waste wheelie bin hire that covers event and market bookings. Every other capital city is register-interest: we're recruiting local providers and will contact you as soon as one covers your area.
How far ahead should I book bins for my event?
Book as soon as your venue and dates are confirmed. Your provider delivers ahead of bump in and collects after bump out, so locking in your booking early gives them room to plan around your event's exact timing.
Do I need to be on site for delivery and collection?
Your provider confirms a delivery and collection window with you directly. For events with a bump in and bump out schedule, tell your provider those windows so bins arrive and leave on your event's timeline, not a generic one.
Can you separate general waste from recycling for my event?
Where a provider offers separate streams, yes. Confirm with your provider at booking which waste types they can service for your event so your on-site setup matches what they collect.
How much does it cost?
Enter your postcode and event details in the quote tool above to see your named local provider's exact price before you book. Bin Hire Australia adds no markup.
Is there a lock-in contract for a recurring market?
No. Each event or market date is its own booking. There's no ongoing contract to cancel once your bins are collected, even if you run the same market every month.
