Currumbin skip bins for beach houses and hillside units
Currumbin squeezes fibro beach houses and apartments on the hill into the strip between the creek mouth and Elephant Rock. Choose a bin, check the first day our 36-hour notice allows, then keep it for 14 days.

Getting a skip into Currumbin
Currumbin Creek marks the northern limit, Wyberba Street the southern one, and the M1 (Pacific Motorway) runs down the western side. Sand runs south from Currumbin Alley, and Thrower Drive carries traffic over the creek into Palm Beach. On Tomewin Street, the wildlife sanctuary is heritage-listed and the suburb's best-known landmark. ASAP Skip delivers every size here, from the 3m³ through to the 15m³ hook bin.
Steep blocks need a level patch
The hillsides here are hard to build on, which is one reason so much natural bush has survived. A skip has to sit level, so look for the flattest firm ground you have, driveway or yard. When the only level patch is out on the road or footpath, you're into permit territory, covered below.
Fibro cottages and 1920s streets
Subdivisions from the 1920s set out many of the streets, and a handful of original fibro beach houses survive. Older fibro sheeting can hide asbestos, and no ASAP bin accepts it. If you can't tell what yours is made of, have it tested before any of it goes near a skip. Renovation timber and old cabinetry suit a General Builders bin.
Apartments on Pacific Parade and beyond
Apartments arrived later, including high-rise backed against the hill on Pacific Parade. A newer block occupies the former Currumbin Hotel site; the hotel lasted until 1996. Apartments accounted for roughly 40 per cent of homes in 2021. Packing up furniture and boxes before a move suits a General Household bin, once the building manager has agreed to a spot.
Currumbin and City of Gold Coast permits
Your driveway or yard needs nothing from council. The road, footpath and verge are a different story: a skip placed there is only allowed once the City of Gold Coast has issued you a permit. Applying is your job, and the responsibility is yours throughout. ASAP Skip stays out of permit applications, so sort yours before delivery day.
Choosing a size for Currumbin
Clearing a unit or redoing one bathroom is small-bin work: the 3m³ takes about 12 wheelie bins, the 4m³ about 16. Renovating a beach house usually calls for the 6m³ or 9m³, while gutting one entirely can use the 15m³ hook bin if there's room for it. Hillside soil needs the Dirt waste type, capped at 4m³; concrete goes up to 6m³.
Sizes that suit Currumbin jobs
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.

Currumbin questions
Is old fibro sheeting safe to put in the skip?
Only once you know it's asbestos-free. Asbestos is refused in all bins and carries a $1,500 contamination fee. Older fibro can contain it, so have it tested and keep it out until you have an answer.
Our block slopes. Can the skip still go on the drive?
Yes, if part of the driveway or yard is level and firm. If nowhere on the property is flat, the street is the fallback, which brings in the council permit process (yours to handle).
Can I roll loads in rather than lift them?
Yes: ask for the walk-in door when booking. It's $30 and comes on the three smallest sizes only, which suits wheelbarrow loads of tiles, soil or broken concrete.
What's the soonest delivery for a Currumbin booking?
A 36-hour lead time applies. Orders in by noon (Queensland) open up the following day; anything later starts a day after that. Your AM/PM choice guides the run but isn't locked in.
