Kings Forest skip bins for builders and new owners
Kings Forest is a new community on Tweed Coast Road, near Kingscliff, with the first houses going up now. Pick a size online to see which day the 36-hour notice rule opens up for you, on the Queensland clock.
Our booking calendar keeps Queensland time. During daylight saving, NSW clocks run an hour ahead, so the day the card calls tomorrow is a Queensland tomorrow.

A suburb still under construction
Kings Forest spans 869 hectares and has approval for roughly 4,500 homes. Leda Holdings agreed in August 2025 to sell the project to Stockland. The plan includes a retail centre, schools, parks and sporting fields. The 2021 Census found just 40 residents. Since then, the first homesites have settled and construction is under way.
Waste from the build itself
A General Builders bin is the one for build waste: offcuts, plasterboard scraps and packaging, plus ordinary rubbish. Most builds use a 6m³ or 9m³, and larger loads can go in the 15m³ hook bin. Keeping the skip inside the lot boundary leaves the street clear for other trades and avoids council approval.
Lots from 392 to 610 square metres
Homesites run from roughly 392 to 610 square metres, so once a house is up, driveway room is limited. After handover, a 3m³ or 4m³ fits more easily and takes moving boxes, packaging and garage set-up waste. Soil from new garden beds goes in a Dirt bin, never bigger than 4m³, because of its weight.
Tweed Shire approval for public land
On your own lot there's nothing to lodge. Public ground (roadway, footpath, verge) is covered by the Approval to Place a Skip Bin in a Public Place, issued by Tweed Shire Council for a fee. You apply, and you're answerable for the bin while it's out there. ASAP Skip can't lodge it for you.
Sizing a Kings Forest skip
During construction a 9m³, around 36 wheelie bins, suits most house builds; on a tight lot a 6m³ (24) takes less room. After move-in, a 3m³ (12) or 4m³ (16) is usually plenty. Concrete and clean rubble go in bins up to 6m³, and a load bigger than one bin can take is split by phone.
Bins for the build and the move-in
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.

Kings Forest questions
Can a builder's bin take ordinary rubbish too?
Yes. General Builders covers general rubbish as well as construction and renovation waste. Asbestos, tyres, batteries and liquids stay out.
The build will run for months. How long can the skip stay?
Fourteen days come standard. An extra week costs $35, while open-ended unlimited hire is $50, the better choice when the finish date is uncertain.
Does a skip outside the lot need approval?
Yes, anywhere public does: Tweed Shire Council's approval, with a fee, which you arrange. Inside the lot boundary nothing is needed.
Is AM or PM a fixed time?
No, it's a preference. Our calendar uses Queensland time, which trails Kings Forest by an hour in daylight saving, and delivery needs 36 hours' notice.
