Skip bins for Cudgen, beside Kingscliff
Cudgen is a small village of mostly detached houses next to Kingscliff, and now home to the Tweed Valley Hospital. Choose your bin online; the date card works in Queensland time, not NSW time.
We run on Queensland time. The midday cut-off, every delivery date and our 6am to 4pm hours all follow it, and from October to April it trails NSW by an hour. Read "tomorrow" on the card as a Queensland date. A street spot needs Tweed Shire Council's Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place.

A village named for red clay
Cudgen takes its name from kidhin, the Yugambeh word for red clay. It lies roughly 14 kilometres from Tweed Heads, alongside Kingscliff, and had 952 residents in the 2021 Census, and a median age of 39. Cudgen's Tweed Valley Hospital, where Cudgen Road meets Tweed Coast Road, opened to patients in May 2024, in place of the former Tweed Hospital in Tweed Heads. Locals follow the Cudgen Hornets in rugby league.
House blocks with room for a bin
Detached houses made up 82 per cent of the village's homes at the last count; townhouses and semis were the rest. A skip on a house driveway sits on private land and needs no council sign-off. Living in a townhouse? Clear it with your body corporate first.
Family projects, soil and garden waste
With lots of young families in town, the usual jobs are garage clear-outs, landscaping and renovations. Soil and garden waste must travel separately: Dirt bins take clean soil only, Green Waste bins take plant material only, and mixing the two brings a contamination fee. Book one of each if the job needs both.
Tweed Shire approval in Cudgen
Private property needs nothing from council. Put the bin kerbside, on a verge or over a footpath and Tweed Shire Council wants its Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place, with a council fee attached. You make the application and stay responsible for the bin; ASAP Skip can't lodge it for you. Gold Coast pricing and rules apply unchanged, and there's no extra charge for NSW.
Choosing a bin in Cudgen
For a garage clear-out or a bathroom refit, the 3m³ holds roughly twelve wheelie bins and the 4m³ about sixteen. Step up to a 6m³ or 9m³ for larger renovation work. Demolition and commercial jobs are what the 15m³ hook bin is for. Soil can't go in anything larger than 4m³, and concrete with clean rubble tops out at 6m³.
Cudgen bins at Gold Coast prices
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.

Cudgen questions
Which clock does a Cudgen booking run on?
Queensland's. The cut-off, delivery dates and our hours (6am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday) all use it, so in daylight saving they sit one hour behind what your phone shows in Cudgen.
Do I pay extra because Cudgen is in NSW?
No. A 3m³ Green Waste bin is $340 here too, and a 3m³ general bin $535. Both include GST, drop-off, collection and a fortnight on site.
Can soil and prunings share one bin?
No. Book a Dirt bin for clean soil and a Green Waste bin for plant material. Putting both in one bin triggers a contamination fee.
What if my plans change after booking?
Cancelling costs nothing if there are more than 48 hours to go before delivery. Closer than that, a $50 cancellation fee applies.
