Our bins range from one cubic metre to 30 cubic metres, so no matter what size project you're working on, we have the right bin for the job. We offer marrel and hook bins, which feature convenient walk-in doors and large open tops, perfect for bulky scraps such as beams, reo, demolition metal and more.
Whether you need a skip bin for a one-off scrap clean-up or ongoing scrap removal, our bins are available for short and long-term hire. We provide delivery and pickup anywhere across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, including Maroochydore, Caloundra, Kawana Waters, Landsborough, Coolum and Noosa.
We work with homeowners doing a renovation, builders needing scrap bins on a demolition or construction site, and businesses managing ongoing scrap metal volumes. As a locally owned, Kunda Park-based operator, we back every hire with competitive pricing, flexible short or long-term terms, and eco-friendly processing at no extra cost.
What Happens to Your Waste After Collection?
When your skip bin is collected, it doesn't just go to landfill.
As a fully licensed metal recycling operation based in Kunda Park, H&H Metal Recycling sorts and processes everything that comes through our yard, recovering valuable materials and ensuring as much as possible is repurposed rather than wasted.
This means when you hire a skip bin from us, you're choosing a more environmentally responsible option than standard skip hire. Metals are separated and recycled on-site, reducing what ends up in landfill and keeping usable resources in the local supply chain.
It's a small detail that makes a real difference, and it comes at no extra cost to you.
Commercial Scrap Bin Hire
Ideal for businesses with enough space to store the bin onsite, our skip bins are perfect for small to medium steel off-cuts, punchings and swarf, as well as small clean-up projects. If you’re working with limited space onsite, we can help you find the perfect scrap bin for your needs.
For more information on our skip bin hire services, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We can advise on the right size bin for your needs and answer any other questions about our services. Call us today on (07) 5228 0481—we’ll be happy to help!
Choosing the Right Skip Bin Size
Picking the right skip bin size is one of those things that seems simple until you get it wrong. Go too small and you're paying for a second collection. Go too big and you're paying for space that just sits empty. Getting it right from the start saves you time, money and the hassle of dealing with an overflowing bin.
Here's a practical breakdown to help you choose with confidence.
Small Skip Bins (1m³–4m³)
Small bins are the go-to for scrap clean-ups that don't generate a huge volume of waste.
1m³ Mini Skip
Think of a 1m³ bin as the equivalent of about 3–4 standard trailer loads. It's a great fit for clearing old appliances, guttering, fencing wire, or car parts from a garage or shed. If you're getting rid of scrap from a single clean-up job, this size usually does it without taking up half your driveway.
3m³–4m³ Skip
Step up to a 3m³ or 4m³ bin when there's more metal to shift — think old roofing sheets, structural offcuts, or a bulk clear-out of appliances and whitegoods. These bins hold roughly 9–12 trailer loads worth of material and still fit comfortably in most residential driveways without blocking access to your home. If you're unsure between a 2m³ and a 4m³, it's almost always worth going slightly larger. The price difference is small; the convenience difference is not.
Medium Skip Bins (6m³–10m³)
Medium bins are where most trade and demolition jobs land. If there's serious scrap coming out — steel beams, old machinery, sheet metal, wiring — this is the range you're looking at.
6m³ Skip
A 6m³ bin holds approximately 6–8 trailer loads and is one of the most popular sizes for good reason. It handles workshop or shed clear-outs comfortably, works well for removing heavy steel offcuts and structural scrap, and suits medium-sized site clean-ups. It's a practical size that balances capacity with footprint — large enough to handle a solid week of scrap collection without dominating your entire driveway or work site.
Large Skip Bins (20m³–30m³)
When a job is generating consistent daily scrap or spans a large site, a 20m³ or 30m³ bin makes more sense than ordering and swapping out a smaller one mid-job. These are also a smart choice for larger industrial or demolition jobs involving structural steel, machinery, or bulk metal offcuts, where volume adds up faster than expected. Keep in mind that dense metal loads have weight limits regardless of bin size — your provider will guide you on this if it's relevant to your job.
A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Book
Scrap metal only. These bins are for scrap metal specifically — not general mixed waste. Materials like general household rubbish, green waste, or contaminated items (asbestos, chemicals, tyres) can't go in. If you're unsure whether something qualifies as scrap metal, just ask before you book.
Weight matters as much as volume. Metal is dense — a bin full of steel offcuts weighs a lot more than the same size bin full of lighter waste. Factor that into your size decision or discuss it with your provider upfront.
When in doubt, size up. The cost difference between bin sizes is usually modest. An overfilled bin, an emergency swap-out, or a second hire almost always costs more than just starting with the right size.
What Can You Put in Our Skip Bins?
Our skip bins are dedicated to scrap metal recycling — not general waste. Materials we accept include:
- Ferrous metals (steel, iron, cast iron)
- Non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel)
- Structural steel & steel off-cuts
- Whitegoods & appliances
- Vehicle parts & car bodies
- Wiring & cabling
As metal recycling specialists, we're particularly equipped to handle ferrous and non-ferrous scrap at our Kunda Park facility.
For safety and compliance reasons, our bins are for scrap metal only. General household waste, builders waste, and hazardous materials (chemicals, asbestos, flammable liquids, gas bottles, and other regulated waste) cannot be placed in our bins.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of waste can I put in a skip bin on the Sunshine Coast?
Our skip bins are dedicated to scrap metal only, including steel off-cuts, structural steel, whitegoods, vehicle parts, wiring, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. We're particularly well set up for metal-heavy loads given our on-site recycling facility at Kunda Park.
For safety and legal compliance, general waste and hazardous items can't go in our bins — including household rubbish, green waste, asbestos, chemicals, flammable liquids, gas bottles, paint, and tyres.
If you're not sure whether something can go in, just give us a call before you book and we'll let you know.
What size skip bin do I need?
It depends on the size of your job. As a rough guide:
1m³–3m³ — Small shed or garage scrap clean-out, single appliance or car part removal
4m³–6m³ — Whitegoods clear-out, workshop clean-up, small-scale demolition scrap
8m³–10m³ — Full workshop or site clear-out, multi-source scrap collection, or a trade job generating steady metal waste
20m³–30m³ — Major demolition, commercial or industrial scrap, or ongoing site-based metal recycling
When in doubt, it's usually worth sizing up — the cost difference between bin sizes is modest, but running out of space mid-job isn't.
How long can I hire a skip bin for?
We offer flexible hire periods for both short-term and long-term needs. Whether you need a bin for a single day, a week-long renovation, or an ongoing commercial arrangement, we can tailor the hire period to suit your project. Contact us to discuss what works best for you.
How quickly can you deliver a skip bin on the Sunshine Coast?
We aim to deliver as quickly as possible — in most cases we can organise delivery within 24 hours. If your project is time-sensitive, give us a call on (07) 5228 0481 and we'll do our best to get a bin to you fast.
Can I place a skip bin on my driveway?
Yes, in most cases you can place a skip bin on your driveway without any issues, as long as it can safely support the weight of the bin. If you're unsure about your surface — such as pavers or an older concrete driveway — feel free to ask when you book and we can advise.
Do I need a council permit to place a skip bin on the street?
If the bin is placed entirely on private property (your driveway or yard), a permit is generally not required. However, if it needs to sit on a public road, footpath, or verge, you'll need to obtain a permit from your local council. Requirements vary across the Sunshine Coast, so if you're unsure, we recommend checking with your council beforehand. We're happy to advise if you need guidance.
What can't go in a skip bin?
The following items cannot be placed in our skip bins due to safety and environmental regulations:
- Asbestos or asbestos-containing materials
- Chemicals, solvents, and flammable liquids
- Paint and oils
- Gas bottles
- Tyres
- Liquid waste of any kind
If you have items you're unsure about, just ask us before booking — we'd rather sort it out upfront than have an issue on collection day.
How does the pick-up and collection process work?
Once you've filled your bin, simply give us a call or send us a message and we'll arrange a collection time that suits you. We'll come to your property, load the bin, and take care of the rest. You don't need to be on-site for collection, as long as we have clear access to the bin.
