Skip hire in Casuarina on the Tweed Coast
Casuarina only dates from 2001, yet its 3,256 residents keep a steady run of garage, garden and bathroom jobs going. Choose a bin and the card shows your first available day, set by our 36-hour rule on the Queensland clock.
We schedule everything, from bookings to delivery dates, on Queensland time. Across the daylight saving months, October to April, Casuarina sits an hour ahead of us, so the card's tomorrow follows the Queensland calendar.

A young suburb between creek and surf
Casuarina lies south of Kingscliff, with Cudgen Creek on one side and the ocean on the other. Work on the Casuarina Beach subdivision began in 2001. Tweed Shire's planning documents single the land out as one of the most significant development-zoned coastal sites in New South Wales. Casuarina Way connects it to Kingscliff in the north and to the smaller coastal villages further south. The median age in 2021 was 41.
Garages, gardens and first bathroom updates
With most houses built since 2001, the work is less about knock-downs and more about landscaping, clearing the garage and refreshing a kitchen or bathroom. A 4m³, about 16 wheelie bins, covers most single projects. Because soil is so heavy, it needs a Dirt bin capped at 4m³, kept apart from any prunings, which belong in a Green Waste bin.
Houses, townhouses and apartments
Of all homes here, 71 per cent are separate houses, so the driveway is normally where the skip ends up, with no approval needed. The rest splits into townhouse or semi-detached homes (about 16 per cent) and apartments (13 per cent). Where common property is involved, placement is the body corporate's decision, so ask them before you choose a size.
Placing a skip on Tweed Shire land
With the bin on your own land, there is no application to make. Public ground, meaning the roadway, footpath or verge, is another matter: you'll need the Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place from Tweed Shire Council, which comes with a council fee. You organise it and answer for it. ASAP Skip does not apply for council approvals.
What fits a Casuarina project
Twelve wheelie bins' worth fits in a 3m³, enough for a garage clean-out or a small bathroom. Step up to the 4m³ for heavier loads such as tiles or brick. A full renovation has more breathing room in the 6m³ or the 9m³. Concrete tops out at the 6m³ size, dirt at 4m³.
Popular sizes for Casuarina homes
The big number is the green waste price; general waste is underneath. GST, drop-off, collection and 14 days of hire are all in the figure.

Casuarina questions
What can go in a Green Waste bin from a Casuarina garden?
Grass, leaves, clippings, weeds, bark and trimmings, plus small branches no longer than half the bin. It must be garden material only; soil, concrete or household rubbish mixed through it attracts a contamination fee of $150.
Our townhouse has no driveway. What now?
Ask the body corporate whether a spot on common property can be used. If they decline, the street is the option left, and Tweed Shire Council's approval and fee have to be sorted by you before delivery.
How does daylight saving affect my delivery day?
It shifts the clock, not the date. Our calendar runs on Queensland time, so the 36-hour notice period and the noon deadline for next-day dates are Queensland times, which means 1pm in Casuarina over summer.
Fourteen days won't be enough. What are my options?
Add seven more days for $35. If there's no clear finish line, unlimited hire is $50 instead; the two can't be combined.
