Pick a bin by size, then by what’s going in it
Our 2m³ to 8m³ bins are built for heavy waste and carry no weight limit. The 9m³ and 12m³ are for bulky, lighter rubbish like timber, plasterboard, carpet and furniture.

Heavy waste bins (2m³ to 8m³) have no weight limit. In general and green waste bins, anything over the included weight is $32 per 100 kg.
No building waste in general or green bins. General and green waste bins, in every size including the 2m³, 3m³ and 4m³, are for household rubbish and garden waste only. No soil, concrete, bricks, tiles, renovation waste or other building products. If you have building waste, or large amounts of MDF cabinets and furniture, you’ll need to upgrade to a builders bin. Soil, concrete, bricks and tiles can go in our 2m³ to 8m³ builders & mixed bins with no weight limit, but not in the 9m³ or 12m³ light builders bins.
Rule of thumb: one cubic metre is about one box-trailer load heaped level. If you’re torn between two sizes, the bigger one usually works out cheaper than paying for a second bin.
