Which size for your garden clean-up?

Garden waste is bulky but light, so size by volume. A big clean-up fills a bin fast.

How to fill your garden waste bin

A few simple steps to fit more in.

Level with the rim

Nothing poking above the top edge. Cut branches to length.

Heavy and woody first

Logs and thick branches on the bottom, clippings on top.

Fill the gaps

Break up branches and tuck fronds flat so air pockets don't waste space

No bags

Tip clippings in loose. Plastic bags contaminate the load.

Customer Reviews

What our customers say

Real feedback from homeowners, builders and landscapers who have hired a bin with Viking Skips.

“Booked online in the morning and the bin was on our driveway the next day. The driver called before he arrived and put it exactly where we asked. Easy from start to finish.”

Sarah M Castle Hill

“We run a few sites at once, and the swap-overs are the best part. One text and the full bin is gone and an empty one is back. Never had to chase anyone.”

Daniel R Builder, Penrith

“The 20 days meant I wasn’t rushing to fill it before the tenants moved out. The price matched the quote, with nothing added on the invoice.”

Priya K Property owner, Blacktown

“We filled a bin with branches and hedge trimmings after a storm. The driver was friendly, and we got a photo once it had been collected, so we knew the spot was clear.”

Mark T Kellyville

“Good communication and a fair price. I’ve booked three times now and it’s been the same every time.”

Josh B Landscaper, Hawkesbury

“I had no idea what size I needed for our spare room clear-out. They asked a few questions and picked the right bin. It was full by the end of the weekend.”

Emma L Baulkham Hills

“Plenty of timber offcuts on every job, and Viking handles it without any fuss. The driver always calls before arriving, which saves me waiting around.”

Tony G Carpenter, Parramatta

“Moving house is stressful enough. Booking took a couple of minutes online, and the team called back to confirm the details. One less thing to worry about.”

Rachel W Rouse Hill

“We told them about the tight access when we booked, and the bin went in exactly where it needed to. It’s good to deal with people who listen.”

Steve H Builder, Liverpool

“I do a lot of end-of-lease clean-outs. The set fees for things like mattresses are listed upfront, so there are no arguments with owners over the invoice.”

Nina P Property manager, Auburn

“We have a long driveway with a gate, and the team asked about it before the delivery. The driver rang when he was close and everything went smoothly.”

Kevin D Windsor

“We were renovating the bathroom and weren’t sure which bin to book. They recommended a size and it was just right. Nothing left over and no second bin needed.”

Amanda C Hornsby

“We finished the job sooner than planned, so I called and they collected the bin early. Simple as that.”

Raj S Penrith

“We were clearing a family home and the team was patient and kind on the phone. They explained what could go in the bin and what couldn’t, which made it much easier.”

Lisa M Camden

“Easy online booking, and the driver called ahead every time. I now book all my soil and green waste bins with Viking.”

Brad N Landscaper, Kellyville

“Cleared out the garage over a weekend. The price matched what we were quoted and there were no surprises on the invoice.”

Georgia F Epping

“They told me exactly what could and couldn’t go in the bin before I loaded it. No guessing and no problems at pickup.”

Michael O Concreter, Blacktown

“It was my first time hiring a skip bin and I didn’t know where to start. The team walked me through the sizes and what to put in. Really helpful.”

Sunita R Bella Vista

“We were clearing out the shop after a fit-out. Good communication from the first call to the pickup, and the driver was professional.”

Chris A Shop owner, Richmond

“Our block is on a slope, and the driver took the time to find a spot where the bin sat level and safe. Careful and friendly.”
