With the re-introduction of the Queensland Government Waste Levy on 1st July 2019, correct identification and classification of waste type became crucial. The Waste Levy is a government-imposed tax charged at a fixed rate of $93.50 including GST (as of 1st July 2021) per tonne on material taken to landfill, making the type of waste and the weight of the bin critical in determining price. The Waste Levy is in addition to what the landfill already charges for waste disposal.
We have the following waste classifications. While the descriptions of the different waste classes are listed here not all prices are available on the website. Quotes for the first five classes of waste can be obtained on this website. For pricing of the remaining waste classes please contact our office during business hours. If in any doubt about classification of waste, feel free to call our office.
This will be green waste produced from light hand pruning type activity and fallen palm fronds and branches. There should not be any item of vegetation in the skip bin with a diameter in excess of 75mm. THESE BINS ARE TAKEN TO A MULCH YARD SO THE VEGETATION CAN BE RECYCLED INTO GARDEN MULCH SO ANY OTHER WASTE IN THE BIN WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL CHARGES.
This is green waste which contains stems, branches or trunks which are in excess of 75mm. This would typically be used when a tree is cut down or severely pruned with a chain saw for instance. THESE BINS ARE TAKEN TO A MULCH YARD SO THE VEGETATION CAN BE RECYCLED INTO GARDEN MULCH SO ANY OTHER WASTE IN THE BIN WILL RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL CHARGES.
This is a classification which is suitable for most domestic and commercial use but must not contain any hard or heavy materials such as soil, concrete, blocks, bricks and pavers. The weight of the material must not exceed 150 kg per cubic metre. Green waste can be included but should be kept separate from the general waste as much as possible. This type of waste would include such things as old furniture, bikes, old domestic appliances, and old clothing, but must not include any of the prohibited items listed below. This is the most common classification for household use. BINS LOADED BEYOND ALLOWABLE WEIGHT WILL ATTRACT ADDITIONAL CHARGES WHICH MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE BIN WILL BE EMPTIED.
This classification is as for Light General Waste but can also include a small quantity of heavier type material such as a few left over blocks and pavers which people sometimes have around their house. The weight of the bin contents must not exceed 225 kg per cubic metre. This classification would apply where you are cleaning up after a small project around the home but have decided to have a good general clean out as well. The skip must not include any of the prohibited items listed below. This is the second most common classification for household use. BINS LOADED BEYOND ALLOWABLE WEIGHT WILL ATTRACT ADDITIONAL CHARGES WHICH MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE BIN WILL BE EMPTIED.
The same type of waste as for general waste but there is allowance for even more weight. A typical application of this type of waste would be where an old paling fence was being removed and the concrete footings with a small amount of soil attached and vegetation growing on the old fence was included in the bin. The weight of the material in the bin should not exceed 300 kg per cubic metre. The skip bin must not include any of the prohibited items listed below. BINS LOADED BEYOND ALLOWABLE WEIGHT WILL ATTRACT ADDITIONAL CHARGES WHICH MUST BE PAID BEFORE THE BIN WILL BE EMPTIED.
As the name implies this is mixed waste from building sites. All bins with mixed builders waste will go over a weigh bridge and are charged according to weight. THE SKIP BIN MUST NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE PROHIBITED ITEMS LISTED BELOW.
This is clean concrete or blockwork from demolition type activities. There can be some clean soil material mixed with the concrete. Other than concrete and soil there must be no other types of waste in a bin of this class. As with mixed builders waste Clean Concrete Waste will be charged on a weight basis. THERE MUST BE NO OTHER TYPE OF WASTE MATERIAL IN THE BIN.
This is the type of waste which could result from a site prep. by a bobcat or excavator. Material which might be included would be a mixture of soil and excavated material, sand, gravel, stones, vegetation, and small pieces of concrete. As with mixed builders waste Dirty Inert Waste will be charged on a weight basis. THERE MUST BE NO MATERIAL WHICH COULD BE CLASSED AS BUILDERS WASTE.
This can be soil and excavated material which can contain stones but there should be nothing over 300mm in size. As with mixed builders waste Clean Inert Waste will be charged on a weight basis. THERE MUST BE NO MATERIAL WHICH CAN BE CLASSED AS BUILDERS WASTE OR VEGETATION OF ANY TYPE.
This bin must contain metal only. NO OTHER TYPE OF WASTE ALLOWED.
There are some things which must not be put in any skip bin. Essentially these are items that are environmentally hazardous, or potentially dangerous such as:
• Asbestos and fibro or fibre cement products
• Lead acid batteries
• Paints
• Fuels and Oils
• Solvents and thinners
• Vehicle tyres
• Gas cylinders
• Explosives
• Dead fish or animals
• Food waste that would normally go into your wheelie bin
