According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, households and businesses generate over 76 million tonnes of waste each year. That’s a staggering number—and one that’s growing. We see it every day. Overflowing bins. Construction debris piling up. Garden waste that never seems to end. At Takeaway Bins, we’re not just here to help you manage it—we’re here to make it easy, fast, and stress-free.

Let’s talk about waste. Not exactly your favourite topic, we know. But it’s part of life, and when it starts piling up, it quickly becomes a problem. Whether you’re clearing out the garage, renovating the kitchen, or running a busy construction site, rubbish has a way of stealing space and time. That’s why we do what we do. Because getting rid of it shouldn’t be harder than generating it in the first place.

We’re Takeaway Bins, and we’re proud to serve the Cannon Hill community with skip bins that fit your job—not just any job. We tailor our services to suit you, not the other way around.

Let’s walk through this together.

You’ve probably seen skip bins around Cannon Hill—outside homes, on job sites, tucked into driveways. What you might not know is how easy it can be to get one delivered and picked up without the usual drama. That’s where we shine. We’re locals. We know the area. And more importantly, we know what works.

Let’s dive into some of the most common questions and challenges we hear from our customers—and how we help solve them.

Choosing the Right Size Bin

One of the most common questions is: What size bin do I need? And it’s a good one. Most people guess too small. We get it—no one wants to overpay. But a bin that’s too small ends up costing more. More pickups. More delays. More stress.

Our advice? Always go one size bigger than you think. You’ll thank us later. Fewer trips. Less cost. No hassle. We offer a wide range of sizes—from 2m³ for small home cleanups to 12m³ bins for construction and commercial jobs.

Get Rid of It Fast — Don’t Let It Sit

Some people think, “I’ll just keep the bin for a week or two in case I need it.”

Here’s the catch: full skip bins attract attention. From neighbours. From council inspectors. And from anyone passing by who wants to sneak in their own junk.

That’s why we recommend filling it quickly and giving us a shout when you’re done. We’ll pick it up, no mucking around. In most cases, we can swing by the same day.

One of our clients told us:

“They dropped it off that morning and picked it up by 4pm once I was done — no delays, no drama. Made the whole clean-up painless.”

We love hearing that.

Why “Cheap” Can Cost You More

We know budget matters. But here’s the thing — going with the lowest rate often leads to the highest headaches. Unreliable service, extra charges, late pickups, bins that don’t arrive at all.
