Waste Types

Mixed Builders Waste

Mixed builders’ waste is a combined load of materials generated during building and renovation work.
Because it is not separated on site, recyclable materials are mixed with general construction debris.

What Can Go In The Bin

  • Concrete
  • Bricks
  • Tiles
  • Soil
  • Timber
  • Plasterboard
  • Metal
  • Roofing Materials
  • Packaging
  • Plastic
  • Cardboard
  • Insulation

What CANNOT Go In The Bin

  • Paint
  • Oils
  • Fuels
  • Solvents
  • Asbestos
  • Food and Food Waste
  • Chemicals
  • Acids
  • Batteries
  • Tyres
  • Gas Bottles
  • Fire Extinguishers
  • Explosives and Flares

Where it is commonly generated

In Cairns, mixed builders’ waste is commonly produced during residential renovations, commercial fit-outs, new builds, and light demolition projects, where multiple material types are generated simultaneously.

Recovery and disposal considerations

This waste is usually taken to facilities where recoverable materials such as metal, concrete, masonry and untreated timber can be separated. However, contamination, moisture and lightweight materials can reduce recovery rates and increase disposal costs.

Why sorting matters

Sorting waste at the source improves recycling outcomes, keeps valuable materials out of landfill, and helps protect Cairns’ environment and waterways.

BINS LOADED ABOVE THE PERMITTED WEIGHT LIMIT OF 250 KG PER CUBIC METRE WILL INCUR AN EXCESS WEIGHT CHARGE OF $300 PER TONNE. THIS CHARGE MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE BIN CAN BE EMPTIED.

Heavy Construction and Demolition Waste

Heavy construction and demolition waste includes dense materials generated through civil works, construction, renovations, site clearing, and demolition.

What Can Go In The Bin

  • Concrete
  • Bricks
  • Asphalt
  • Masonry
  • Rock
  • Soil
  • Tiles
  • Plasterboard
  • Metals
  • Timber
  • Mixed rubble

What CANNOT Go In The Bin

  • Paint
  • Oils and fuels
  • Solvents
  • Asbestos
  • Food and food waste
  • Chemicals and acids
  • Batteries
  • Tyres
  • Gas bottles
  • Fire extinguishers
  • Explosives and flares

On larger projects such as roads, bridges, subdivisions, and commercial developments, this waste stream may also include excavated spoil, kerbs, pipes, and reinforcement steel.

These materials are often sorted at recycling facilities, helping divert significant volumes from landfill.

Weight limit and excess weight charges

BINS LOADED ABOVE THE PERMITTED WEIGHT LIMIT OF 1500 KG PER CUBIC METRE WILL INCUR AN EXCESS WEIGHT CHARGE OF $120 PER TONNE. THIS CHARGE MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE BIN IS EMPTIED.

Clean Concrete Waste

Clean concrete waste is a relatively pure construction and demolition material.
Made up of broken concrete from slabs, footings, pavements, kerbs, pipes, precast elements, and leftover production waste.

What Can Go In The Bin

  • Concrete
  • Concrete Products
  • Reinforcing Steel
  • Bricks
  • Pavers
  • Slabs
  • Footings
  • Pavements

  • Batteries
  • Tyres
  • Gas bottles
  • Fire extinguishers

Metal impurities, such as reinforcing steel, are generally not a problem because they can usually be removed during processing using magnets.

Weight limit and excess weight charges

BINS LOADED ABOVE THE ALLOWED WEIGHT LIMIT OF 1000 KG PER CUBIC METRE WILL INCUR AN EXCESS WEIGHT CHARGE OF $80 PER TONNE. THIS CHARGE MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE BIN IS EMPTIED.
